You must upload a public key (.pem) from Jamf Pro to Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager to obtain a server token file (.p7m).

Requirements

You need an Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager account with the Administrator or Device Manager role assigned.

For more information about Apple School Manager, accounts, and roles, see the following Apple documentation:

Note:

Jamf recommends you only use one Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager account to integrate with Automated Device Enrollment. Using more than one account makes any issues more difficult to troubleshoot.

  5. Enter a unique name for your MDM server in the MDM Server Name text field.
  6. Select or deselect the Allow this MDM Server to release devices checkbox.

    Jamf recommends deselecting the checkbox. For more information, see Release devices in Apple Business Manager.
