SIS to Screen: Automating Zero-Touch MacBook Deployment with ClassLink and Mosyle

IT Leaders
A student's first day should not be delayed by manual account creation and tedious device imaging, yet many IT departments still struggle with disjointed workflows in which the SIS, identity provider and MDM do not talk to each other. This technical session pulls back the curtain on a fully automated, hands-off deployment architecture that takes a student from enrollment to an unboxed, fully configured MacBook in minutes. Follow the exact integration pipeline: a student is entered into the SIS, ClassLink OneSync provisions the Google identity, Roster Server syncs users into Apple School Manager and Mosyle MDM, and Mosyle uses Google Sign-In at the macOS setup assistant to securely hand off the device. You will learn to map an automation pipeline linking your SIS, ClassLink, Google Workspace, Apple School Manager and Mosyle, configure identity-driven enrollment with federated Managed Apple IDs, and reduce device processing time while eliminating manual data errors. Leave with a step-by-step blueprint for true zero-touch deployment.
