What is Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP)?
Blog post from Fleet
Apple's Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) streamlines the process of enrolling newly purchased devices into a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system, replacing the former Device Enrollment Program (DEP). ADE automatically links devices bought through authorized channels to an organization's Apple Business Manager (ABM) account, allowing them to ship directly to employees while ensuring supervision and security policies are enforced from first boot. This automation eliminates the need for IT departments to manually configure each device, significantly reducing onboarding timelines and support requests while enhancing security by preventing users from removing management profiles. ADE requires devices to be purchased through authorized sellers and connected to the internet to complete the enrollment process, with failure typically due to network or configuration issues. The system supports a wide range of Apple devices, providing advanced management controls and security measures such as activation lock bypass codes and mandatory MDM enrollment. Organizations can achieve more efficient, secure, and scalable device management by integrating ADE with a compatible MDM platform, such as Fleet, which offers cross-platform capabilities for managing diverse device environments.
