It's great that you can call Slack or Teams when something happens, but let me have access to the webhook URL you're going to call. I promise it will be ok. I'll check a box to confirm I am on my own from here. #MacAdmins #MacAdmin #MDM
@thomasareed You’ll be missed in the #macadmin community. I’m happy for you that you will be able to spend more time in a part of the world that you love.
