The MDM migration reality: easier, but not easy
Blog post from Fleet
Recent updates to macOS and iOS/iPadOS, along with enhancements in Apple Business, have facilitated less disruptive migrations of devices to new Mobile Device Management (MDM) servers by eliminating the need for a complete factory reset for iOS and iPadOS devices, aligning them with macOS devices which already supported non-destructive migration. While these changes simplify the process, migration remains complex as device reassignment primarily involves moving device enrollment without automatically transferring management schemas, necessitating the recreation of configurations, app deployments, and integrations. To ensure a smooth transition, it is essential to conduct a thorough audit of current settings, rationalize policies, and fully configure the new MDM system, followed by a controlled rollout and clear communication with end users. Verification post-migration is crucial to confirm the successful application of new policies and applications, and although Apple's new tools ease the process, the complexity of MDM migration requires meticulous planning and execution to avoid disruptions.
