You can distribute configuration profiles during Automated Device Enrollment. This allows you to install configuration profiles before end users complete the Setup Assistant. For example, you can distribute a configuration profile that enforces a passcode policy that end users must comply with during account creation.

Note:Jamf recommends only adding configuration profiles that are essential to the enrollment experience to a PreStage enrollment. Installing too many configuration profiles early in the Setup Assistant process may cause unexpected enrollment issues.
Important:

Configuration profiles that contain payload variables are not replaced with their respective values when distributed via a PreStage enrollment. Jamf recommends distributing profiles with variables after the computer is enrolled with Jamf Pro.

Requirements

You must create configuration profiles for enrollment prior to configuring a PreStage enrollment. The scope of the configuration profile must also include computers in the scope of the PreStage enrollment. For more information, see Computer Configuration Profiles.
