Register device to Apple Business Manager

iOS 7.0+

 

If you have already registered the device with Apple Business Manager at the carrier or reseller from where you purchased it, this step is not necessary since the device is already a DEP device.

 

 

To register a DEP device using Apple Configurator 2 (version 2.5 or later), the following three operations are required.

• Operations on Apple Configurator 2

• Operations on Apple Business Manager

• Operations on BizMobile Go! web console

11. Select the configuration profile with the Wi-Fi information you can connect to and click Prepare.
