Configuration Screen?

[loftyfinds]

Hi Everyone,

I purchased a used MacBook Pro mid 2015 a few months back and it's been working fine until a few days ago so I decided to do a fresh install. Wiped the drive and reinstalled the OS. Was completing the setup process and after the "select wifi screen" I get a Configuration Available screen - never seen that before but I would like to remove it. As you can see from the image I can easily "skip configuration" but would still like to remove the other configuration.

Seems to be something in the boot drive?

Let me know if anyone can help.

Looks like it was managed by an organization previously (typically a school). Is that what you hid in the photo?

The org should have decommissioned it before turning it loose. Either they forgot...or it was stolen or lost.

I'm not aware of any way to remove the link except from the org side. It is not part of the OS or drive; wiping or replacing the drive won't change the org being linked to it.

it is stored where?

My understanding is it in firmware; not removable.

Similar to Find My iPhone on iOS...a user cannot remove it, it can only be disabled by the original purchaser.

At Apple.
