Automated Device Enrollment (formerly DEP) allows you to automate the enrollment process and prevent users from removing the MDM profile from the devices. This is the enrollment method recommended by Apple. Automated Device Enrollment is one of the methods in which a computer can achieve a User Approved MDM status in Jamf School. User Approved MDM is required for certain performance and security enhancements, like managing kernel extensions. By enrolling devices using Automated Device Enrollment, you can use all the device management capabilities Jamf School offers.

Enrolling devices using Automated Device Enrollment involves the following steps:

  1. Creating an Automated Device Enrollment profile

  2. Assigning Automated Device Enrollment profiles to devices

You can also customize the enrollment experience by creating agreements to display during enrollment and requiring authentication.

Note:

If Jamf School is integrated with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure ID) or Google, you can require enrollment authentication when enrolling devices via Automated Device Enrollment.
