APPL-26-002035 - The macOS system must disable Apple ID setup during Setup Assistant.

Information

The prompt for Apple ID setup during Setup Assistant must be disabled.

macOS will automatically prompt new users to set up an Apple ID while they are going through Setup Assistant if this is not disabled. This can mislead new users into thinking they need to create Apple ID accounts upon their first login.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to disable Apple ID setup during Setup Assistant by installing the "com.apple.SetupAssistant.managed" configuration profile.
