Step 4: Enroll Devices

Enrollment is the process of adding devices to Jamf School to establish a connection between the devices and the Jamf School server. This allows you to perform inventory, configuration, security management, and distribution tasks on the devices. When mobile devices are enrolled, inventory information for the devices is submitted to Jamf School. If you are changing from another MDM provider to Jamf School and the device is not enrolled via Automated Device Enrollment (formerly DEP), or if you want to remove the MDM profile from a device enrolled in Jamf School through on-device enrollment, you must remove the MDM profile from your devices manually before enrolling them.

It is recommended that you enroll your institutionally owned devices as supervised to use all the management capabilities Jamf School has to offer. To ensure a device is supervised, you must enroll it using one of the following methods:

• Automated Device Enrollment using Apple School Manager

• Apple Configurator

Select the method you want to use and the Jamf School setup assistant will guide you through enrolling devices using one of these methods.
