Here is how to: Locate, lock, and erase devices with Apple Business Essentials - Apple Support


Mac doesn’t have GNSS / GPS geolocation hardware, so the location data is implicit, based on nearby Wi-Fi or such.

No sure the question really...

I would suspect if anything the Mac is tied to your Apple Account if there is any tracking to be done...(?)


I will state clearly I know nothing of Apple Business Essentials


The ai spits this out:


Apple Business Essentials provides remote locking and wiping capabilities for Macs to secure lost or stolen devices, but

it does not provide real-time, continuous geolocation tracking for Mac computers in the same way it does for iPhones or iPads via Managed Lost Mode. While it supports finding iPhone/iPad locations, Mac security is primarily managed through Remote Lock.
