Can we PLEASE make it possible to assign multiple devices at once to a single profile? It is absolutely painstaking to have to assign each device one by one to an enrollment profile.
Great suggestion, and we understand the frustration.
Microsoft Intune is introducing a new ADE Enrollment Policy Experience (ECv2) UI for iOS/iPadOS. This revamped experience will allow you to:
- Select multiple devices at once
- Assign them to a single enrollment policy using multi-select UI
This future update will significantly reduce the time and effort required to manage device enrollment. It is expected to be released in Q4 CY25 and, you can read more about it here: New iOS/iPadOS ADE enrollment policies experience | Microsoft Community Hub
In the meantime, making use of the default profile feature may help to assign to all new devices syncing over from Apple Business Manager (ABM) or Apple School Manager (ASM) via ADE, whilst keeping an eye out for the new multi-device enrollment UI for an even smoother workflow coming soon.
Thanks!

That's great, and a welcome change. We already have default profiles set - but that's the point of frustration. Not everything needs to be set to the default profile. If I have devices I want to set up as shared devices, and it's a batch of 15, then I have to set them one by one to that profile. That's where the frustration comes from. This is time consuming as a whole.
We use PowerShell for this. It's quite easy to read the serial numbers from a csv and add assign them to a profile - my script reads the file name, named same as the target profile, and assigns to that.
Doing it through the UI would be really handy though!
I do like that. Though, we shouldn't have to powershell something that should be (intuitively) in the UI that they offer for management.
