This solution works currently on mac OSx Catalina 10.15.x.
If you need to add mac which didn’t get added during first run to MDM server or was added to MDM server after the initial configuration and you want to add it without having to re-install operating system:
Open terminal and run this command:
sudo profiles renew -type enrollment
mac OS 10.14.6 sudo profiles renew -type enrollment
older mac OS version:sudo /usr/libexec/mdmclient dep na
Mac OS Sierra:
sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
sudo rm -rf /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/
sudo rm /Library/Keychains/apsd.keychain

using terminal:
sudo fdesetup add -usertoadd username -usertoadd username -keychain
and or:

macOS Sierra:
1. Create folder and place all the files you want to compress in it.
2. Right click on the folder and click on Compress.

for some reason I had parental control enabled on network user with local admin rights.
it wasn’t possible to remove them using system preferences.
to remove it I used terminal command:
sudo dscl . -mcxdelete /Users/username
sudo rm -rf /Library/Managed\ Preferences/usernameAfter creating master image create workflow with these steps:
1:
restore HDD from MacBookAir2017.hfs.dmg disk image.
2:
Rename computer:
3:
Prompt for computer name during setup
4:
auto join computer to MS Active Directory.
5:
auto join computer to Open Directory Server.
terminal command:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload -boolean FALSE
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)
After setting up clean install of macOS Sierra in a multi-user environment (computer lab) it is useful to disable iCloud and siri prompt at the first login.
Here is the original link with instructions and a script to disable iCloud promt:
the script is:
#!/bin/sh
# Determine OS version
osvers=$(sw_vers -productVersion | awk -F. '{print $2}')
sw_vers=$(sw_vers -productVersion)
# Checks first to see if the Mac is running 10.7.0 or higher.
# If so, the script checks the system default user template
# for the presence of the Library/Preferences directory.
#
# If the directory is not found, it is created and then the
# iCloud pop-up settings are set to be disabled.
if [[ ${osvers} -ge 7 ]]; then
for USER_TEMPLATE in "/System/Library/User Template"/*
do
defaults write "${USER_TEMPLATE}"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant DidSeeCloudSetup -bool TRUE
defaults write "${USER_TEMPLATE}"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant GestureMovieSeen none
defaults write "${USER_TEMPLATE}"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant LastSeenCloudProductVersion "${sw_vers}"
done
# Checks first to see if the Mac is running 10.7.0 or higher.
# If so, the script checks the existing user folders in /Users
# for the presence of the Library/Preferences directory.
#
# If the directory is not found, it is created and then the
# iCloud pop-up settings are set to be disabled.
for USER_HOME in /Users/*
do
USER_UID=`basename "${USER_HOME}"`
if [ ! "${USER_UID}" = "Shared" ]
then
if [ ! -d "${USER_HOME}"/Library/Preferences ]
then
mkdir -p "${USER_HOME}"/Library/Preferences
chown "${USER_UID}" "${USER_HOME}"/Library
chown "${USER_UID}" "${USER_HOME}"/Library/Preferences
fi
if [ -d "${USER_HOME}"/Library/Preferences ]
then
defaults write "${USER_HOME}"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant DidSeeCloudSetup -bool TRUE
defaults write "${USER_HOME}"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant GestureMovieSeen none

And here is the original link with information on how to disable siri:
https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2016/09/20/supressing-siri-pop-up-windows-on-macos-sierra/
and here is the script
#!/bin/bash
# Determine OS version
osvers=$(sw_vers -productVersion | awk -F. '{print $2}')
sw_vers=$(sw_vers -productVersion)
# Determine OS build number
sw_build=$(sw_vers -buildVersion)
# Checks first to see if the Mac is running 10.7.0 or higher.
# If so, the script checks the system default user template
# for the presence of the Library/Preferences directory. Once
# found, the iCloud, Diagnostic and Siri pop-up settings are set
# to be disabled.
if [[ ${osvers} -ge 7 ]]; then
for USER_TEMPLATE in "/System/Library/User Template"/*
do
/usr/bin/defaults write "${USER_TEMPLATE}"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant DidSeeCloudSetup -bool TRUE
/usr/bin/defaults write "${USER_TEMPLATE}"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant GestureMovieSeen none
