Automated Device Enrollment is an enrollment method that minimizes user interaction during the enrollment process. When configured and integrated with an Apple Business instance, you can automate the enrollment experience for your end users beginning as soon as they power on their device.
Using Automated Device Enrollment is beneficial for both IT teams and end users by simplifying the process of bringing a device into a managed state. A user can turn on a device for the first time and immediately enter the enrollment process. You can customize what screens the user sees during Setup Assistant, and even initiate the automatic installation of apps, ensuring the user is fully equipped to begin using their device immediately post-enrollment.
Automated Device Enrollment is the preferred method for corporate-owned devices assigned to Apple Business. Devices purchased through authorized resellers or Apple can be automatically assigned to your account, or manually added using Apple Configurator.
To configure Automated Device Enrollment, click Enrollment in the sidebar, and then click Setup on the Automated Enrollment card.
