Installing MDM services

You can set up MDM services for Windows, Apple, and/or Android through WebUI.

Before you begin

  • Install Docker Engine, Docker Compose, and OpenSSL on the intended MDM server.
  • Ensure that you have one of these BigFix user roles:
    • A Master Operator (MO) with visibility over the MDM Server target machine and visibility of the BESUEM site
    • An Administrator with the privilege to run the installation.
  • Install the BigFix client on the target computer in which you want to install the MDM server.
