Complete Guide: Mac Migrate Company Portal to New Tenant Successfully

Well, so you wanna move that Company Portal thingy on your Mac to a new place, huh? Like movin’ from the old house to a new one, kinda. It ain’t that hard, just gotta follow some steps. Don’t you worry, I’ll tell ya how.

First thing’s first, what’s this “tenant” they talkin’ about? Sounds fancy, but it’s just like a landlord, I guess. You’re movin’ from one landlord’s house to another. So, this Company Portal, it’s like your mailbox at the old place, and you gotta get it set up at the new place, see?

Now, they say this Company Portal thingy is all about the person usin’ it, not the machine itself. So, it’s like your stuff, not the furniture in the old house, you get me? You’re takin’ your stuff with you. So, if you can’t just start all over, which they call “remigratin’,” you gotta do it piece by piece.

Migratin’ the Company Portal, Step-by-Step like

• First, you gotta figure out how to move all your stuff from the old landlord’s house to the new one. This means all your accounts and whatnot. They say there’s a “step-by-step” way to do it, and that’s what I’m tellin’ ya. It’s important to do things right, they say it’s gotta be “successful”, like growin’ a good crop.
• Second, after you moved your stuff over, make sure everything is there. Like countin’ your chickens after they move coops. They said, “after accounts are added successfully”, so you check everything’s there, ok?
• Third, now it’s time to get that Company Portal mailbox set up at the new place. Think of it like puttin’ up a new mailbox with your name on it. You gotta tell folks how to get their new mailbox, see? You gotta tell ’em how to “install” it.

Gettin’ that Mailbox Settled

So, how do you put up that new mailbox? Well, you gotta go to somethin’ called “System Settings.” Sounds complicated, but it ain’t. It’s like findin’ the toolbox in the shed. Then you gotta find somethin’ called “Privacy & Security”, then “Profiles”. Sounds like lookin’ for the right key for the lock. Once you there, you gotta sign in with your work account, like showin’ your ID to prove you belong. They call it a “Managed Apple ID”, sounds fancy but it’s just your work ID.

You can either tell your folks how to do this themselves, like teachin’ ’em how to plant seeds, or you can do it for ’em if their machines are already hooked up to this “Intune” thing. Intune? Sounds like a tool for tunin’ a radio, but I guess it’s for tunin’ machines. You can use that Intune thing to put the Company Portal on their machines directly. Like givin’ everyone a key to the mailbox.

They talk about adding “the macOS Company Portal app” and “Intune add app to Company Portal.” It’s all just fancy talk for puttin’ that mailbox where it needs to be. Don’t let the big words scare ya. Just think of it like movin’ your things and settin’ up your new mailbox.

Now, they also said somethin’ about a “comprehensive guide” with “best practices.” That’s like havin’ a good neighbor show you the best way to do things. But listen to me, and you’ll be alright. Just move your stuff, check it’s all there, and set up that mailbox. Easy peasy.

So there you have it, how to move that Company Portal thingy to a new tenant on your Mac. It ain’t rocket science, just good ol’ common sense, like movin’ from one house to another. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be good to go. And remember, it’s all about you, not the machine, just like it’s your stuff that matters when you move, not the old furniture.

And that’s about all I know on the matter, so go on and get her done.
