The answer to question # 6 in the notes is partially incorrect. With regards to the "Requirement for internet access in Setup Assistant" - How does the device retain knowledge of its organization registration after a wipe or a DFU restore? Is this information stored in NVRAM or is it stored elsewhere? Answer: It does not survive a DFU restore, but it does survive a disk wipe. I don't know where this information is stored, but a good place for research should be the Local policy manifest information included in the Apple Platform Security guide. The correct answer is that it survives both a DFU restore and a disk wipe. This is because online activation is required following DFU. As part of the activation process, macOS will discover that the device is managed and will re-apply the relevant setting to the device.
