Description

Automated Device Enrollment (formerly DEP) allows you to automate the enrollment process, prevent users from removing MDM profile from devices, and allows full use of the device management capabilities Jamf School offers.

This article provides the steps to complete the integration with Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager to be able to enroll devices through Automated Device Enrollment.
