But I still get the Remote Management screen during setup even after a clean re-install of the OS.

but then fails as the machine is released not assigned to our MDM on ABM

ARD stock at "determining target computer status" I've got a lab of 2013 iMacs setup at school, currently with Catalina running successfully. I'm managing them from a MacBook Pro with Monterey via Remote Desktop. This works great on 29 of the identical machines. On the last one, I can connect and screen-share the machine, but whenever I try to run a command (or remote restart, etc) it stalls at this prompt: "determining target computer status" I've re-installed from scratch on this machine twice now, and everything else appears to work fine. The settings are theoretically identical to the machines next to it... Is there any reason a hardware issue would cause this particular problem, when I can still successfully screen-share on it (so I know the network connection is good)...? Where should I begin to troubleshoot? (and on these machines upgrading past Catalina isn't really an option, I believe...) Thanks! David

PLEASE HELP - Remote Management Popup since update to Sonoma We are managing several Macbooks with Apple-Chips in our company and have registered them on Apple Business Manager. Even though the devices are on the status "unassigned", the devices that upgraded to Sonoma get an unskippable message to contact the remote management server eventually. Is there something I am missing? Why does this message pop up? Help is appreciated, thanks.

The device needs to be reset using DFU mode. Once reset, it should no longer prompt for management.
