Hi, so I found this "broken" MacBook pro 13" 2017 in the trash at my school and my teacher said I could take it. Anyway... I repaired it and everything is fine and I have Administrator. But I can't seem to remove the MDM school profile.
"your Mac is supervised by ... "
How do I remove this?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1
Your teacher may not have been authorized to give school property away, and the administrative team may not have been aware that it was found in the Trash. They may believe it was stolen.
It would be interesting to see how this plays out when you contact the school.
Good point. How it moved from a locked office into the trash has not been established, and some may reject the idea that foul play was NOT involved. I am not suggesting the OP did anything wrong, just that MBPs do not move themselves.
Good luck to the OP.
The container was outside the IT management office when my teacher asked if he could take what's inside (because people throw away almost anything that is still working). Even talked to the janitor about this and he said it was all fine. Its now my MacBook they said. But I forgot to mention the domain problem to them, talk to them tomorrow bout it.
The device manager must remove it from the remote/official list themselves.
The school will have to remove it.
There's absolutely nothing I can do?

Correct. If there was something you could do think how easy it would be for thieves.
Yeah didn't think of that... I´ll contact my school and hopefully they'll remove the domain.
Asking the teacher to contact and say permission was given would help the case.
Oh no, I talked to both the ITs and the caretaker about it and they said it was fine as long as I found it in the EE trash. But I didn't mention this profile problem to them.
Removing a MDM school profile?
