If you suffer from The Underwear Problem (separating a store account from AWS root user)...

general aws

Sorry if this is common knowledge, I don't subscribe to this subreddit but I probably should. Your AWS Account Manager has a fix. You have to go through your rep and meet this criteria - support will tell you otherwise.

  • The AWS account is in active status and the retail account is in normal status
  • The account does not have any bank account as payment instrument
  • The account is not be registered as an AWS Marketplace seller.
  • Customer did not use the account for making any purchases in AWS Marketplace
  • The account is not registered as an EC2 Reserved instance Marketplace Seller.
  • The account does not have any MFA device configured on the AWS account.

New to being a Mac Admin (like me, kinda?). Stay the F*CK away from Fleetsmith.

Just did each twice and I had maybe a 95% unlock rate for the day. Figured I'd share.

Moved from a Windows administrator to a Mac only environment. What do?

Question

So yeah...got a new job, 100% Mac users and G suite, sole IT person. Already rolling out an MDM (FleetSmith) and AV, getting the biz setup in ABM, what other things should I look out for? Employee base is remote, so not worrying about anything on site now, but I probably should have brushed up on the latest and greatest in Mac Management before jumping to this role.
