Adding iOS and macOS devices to Apple Business Manager with Apple Configurator

Automated Device Enrollment is a feature that lets you automate the initial setup and MDM enrollment of devices that have been assigned to your Apple Business/School Manager account.

The Automated Device Enrollment is not available for devices that are not assigned to your ABM/ASM account.

But, you can add factory reset or newly acquired modern Apple iPhone, iPad, and Mac to your Apple Business/School Manager account using Apple Configurator.

30-day grace period

The configurator enrollment has a grace period of 30 days. During this time, the device user will see an option to Leave remote management meaning that the user can release the device from Apple Business Manager, supervision, and device management. Once the period has passed, the option disappears from the device's end.

Requirements for adding an iOS device to ABM/ASM using Apple Configurator

  • You need a Mac with Apple Configurator 2.5 or newer and a USB connection to the device.
  • Make sure your device runs iOS 11 or above.
  • You should have a Device Manager user role in Apple Business/School Manager.
  • Device reset is mandatory.

Adding Mac to Apple Business Manager using Apple Configurator for iPhone

You can add modern Mac to ABM / ASM using Apple Configurator for iPhone even if the devices weren't purchased from Apple or an Apple-authorized reseller. To do this, you will need to download and install the Apple Configurator app on an iPhone running iOS 15 or above. For further instructions, please refer to Apple's documentation.
