Intro to planning your MDM migration
Your organization may want to migrate away from your current MDM solution to another one. This migration can be for devices owned by your organization or devices owned by the user. This includes devices using Shared iPad mode and devices deployed in a one-to-one environment such as a school where each student uses an iPad.
Migration stages
Migration includes the following stages:
Documenting the current MDM environment and its dependencies
Gathering any necessary certificates, user names, and passwords
Setting up the new MDM solution and configuring it to work with Apple services
Re-creating the enrollment profile and all configuration profiles and payloads
Testing the migration on various device types
Beginning an IT-managed, user-based, or combo migration
Collect the information you need
Migrating from one MDM solution (regardless of enrollment type) to another often involves certificates, tokens, and interaction and integration with other Apple services, such as the Apple Push Notification service (APNs), Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager. This information should be collected before any devices are migrated.
Involve the teams you need
In some cases, more than one person is involved in managing Apple devices using MDM in your organization. This may involve the following teams:
Apple service management: Administrators for Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager and access to the Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
Security: Certificates (including the APNs certificate) and identity configurations.
Network: Wi-Fi credentials, managing the organization’s firewall.
App dispersement: This may include In-house proprietary apps, Managed Apps, Custom Apps, Unlisted Apps, and Content Managers.
User support and documentation: Call centers, help desks, and documentation for the staff itself and for end users.
