Q: Is there a maximum number of devices to enroll in Profile Manager in OS X Server?
Just wondering if there's a limit to the number of devices that should be managed using profile manager.
I have the Mac Mini Server running the lastest version.

There's no real maximum although there are limits in which everything on your network would start to struggle in a major way. You could use Apple's support article regarding PM's Scalability as a rough guide?:

I was recently involved in a real world deployment of approx 1600 iPads and 8 MacMini Servers (200 devices per server) each in their own subnet and using PM as the MDM. It works well but only after working very, very closely with the network designer prior to roll-out. If all you're ever going to have is 100-300 devices then one server should be enough? As ever YMMV.
