MDM

Apple devices whose serial numbers appear in Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager can be automatically enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. For these devices, the following enrolments options can be configured.

Note: To learn which MDM enrolment options are supported for your devices, consult your MDM vendor’s documentation.

Option	Usage
Prompt user to enrol device	The device prompts the user to enrol the device in MDM, and you can specify the settings below.
