Here you can choose if you want to share the network you are connected to with the mac, or, if you want to use a configuration profile. There are some additional settings you can configure by tapping the gear icon. Sign in using the credentials you normally use for the ABM console Once installed, open the app, now you are presented with a login screen.Start by going to the App Store on an iPhone with iOS 15 and search for "Apple Configurator", you will see an app with the icon below.Let's get into the fun part, actually doing it. If you can check all the boxes above, you're ready to start assigning devices.

You need to be an administrator in ABM with the Device Enrollment Manager role.The macOS device must have a T2 security chip or Apple Silicon.The macOS device must have macOS Monterey installed.There are some pre-requisites to adding a mac to ABM this way, I talk about Apple Business manager in this post, but it could just as well be done for Apple School Manager. While you still need to be close to the device you at least do not have to physically connect to it to complete the assignment. The flow is very similar to adding an iOS/iPadOS device in that a server called "Apple Configurator 2" is created in the ABM console from which we must reassign the device to the MDM server you want to enroll the device to. Until now, they still needed to be bought from an authorized reseller to get them in.ĭuring WWDC in June, Apple showed us that it will be possible to add macs to ABM using Apple Configurator on an iPhone, which finally is live in the App Store. Ever since this became available, most of us have wanted this feature for mac devices as well.

Since iOS 11 we have been able to add iOS devices to Apple Business Manager using Apple Configurator 2 on a macOS device by connecting the device to the mac.
