Enrollment of +30 iOS devices to Intune
There are no user affinity on the iPads - so I have been playing around with Apple Configurator, and configured Intunes backend to Apple enrollment.
It seems to be pretty straightforward to create the profile in Apple configurator and "Prepare" each device from that Macbook.
Am I on the correct path here:)?
The Apple Configurator is one way to go. It depends on whether you need Supervised mode on the devices. The Apple Configurator is extra hassle that you might not need.
If you don't need supervised mode then I would recommend installing the Company portal and enrolling the iPads directly.
You could also try writing an enrolment user guide and get the users to enrol their own devices. In my rollouts so far (I work as a consultant in this field), I usually see a success rate of between 50% and 75% for user self enrolment.
In the long term self enrolment is the right approach because it cuts the IT workload.
- That makes sence - Im just a bit confused about the Apple ID to use then?
Should a Apple ID be created for each iPad then?My advice would be to create an apple ID for each user using their work email address. That way you can recover the Apple ID password if you have to wipe and re-enrol the devices.
Some organisations use a single Apple ID across all devices but you have to be quite aggressive about blocking iCloud backup, or settings will bleed from one user to another.
Unfortunately Apple ID's and Google Play accounts are unavoidable nuisances for Mobile Device Management.
- Thank you for your advice :)
The iPads are used wit no user affinity - so I might just create an account pr. device with device name?
