Bushel Ships Same Day Support For El Capitan
For the second time this month, Apple has released a major new operating system. Today, OS X 10.11 El Capitan became available in the Mac App Store. We are pleased to announce that, even with the significant changes in the operating system, Bushel extends full compatibility to Macs running this latest release. That means that all of your managed Macs within Bushel can be upgraded to OS X 10.11 and new Macs can be enrolled as well. In other words, your users should take advantage of this free software update! Read More About Bushel’s Same Day Support for OS X El Capitan On The Bushel Blog

Casper 9.8 and Bushel Now Support El Capitan
JAMF Software has long had 0 day support for new Apple releases. The latest version of Bushel allows you to enroll El Capitan devices. Casper 9.8 also allows you to enroll devices. There are certainly going to be subsequent updates that allow us to do even more. This was a tricky one, as the jamf binary had to be moved and there were some new enrollment policies, to keep your Apple devices as secure as possible! Bushel is SaaS, so it’s available today. Casper should be updated. You can access our installers using your My Assets page on JAMF Nation. Happy updating!

Bushel: MDM, MAM, MEM, & EMM
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is an additional layer of securing provided to a standard deployment of mobile devices. In the Apple management context, MDM provides our customers with a way to make sure that they can monitor devices, that devices fit within the boundaries of what our customers consider to be good security, making it easier to setup devices (by quickly providing WiFi information, helping to deploy apps, etc) and of course by getting a good inventory of the devices you have out there in the wild.

Sell Some Bushel
So one of the projects I’m very involved in is a simple, new Apple Device Management (or MDM really) solution, called Bushel. By default, we give people 3 devices for free. If you’re in a position to refer people to Bushel, you can also use links that you send to people that will get you even more free devices (up to 10). But some people want to sell things and earn commissions from them. And we fully support that. So you can become a Bushel affiliate and earn commissions from any referrals you send us. To sign up to become a Bushel affiliate at http://www.bushel.com/affiliates. There, you can find links…

One of the common questions we get on our online support at Bushel is whether or not we can allow you to remotely control the screen of an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The simple answer is no. The next question we usually get is whether we know how that can be done. We do; however, we really don’t like the answer. Can Bushel Control The Screen Of My iPad?
