Spotlight not indexing after Sierra upgrade

Posted on September 22, 2017 - September 22, 2017 by vrpc

Looks like this helped me:

  1. first I removed all selections under System Preferences/ Spotlight/ search results
  2. restart
  3. use terminal:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    wait 20s
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/*
    you should get a message indicating that indexing is enabled.

Posted on August 16, 2017 by vrpc

This could help if you need to add already configured apple cumputer (DEP purchased) to Meraki or JAMF MDM management.

sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
sudo rm -rf /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/
sudo rm /Library/Keychains/apsd.keychain

after running these commands restart your computer and the default apple setup assistant will start. (no lost of personal data)
