Ғылым және технология
In this episode Andy shows how to manually add an Apple device to Apple Business Manager using the Apple Configurator Application running on an IPhone. This has to be the easiest way of manually adding devices.
Check out the full series of videos for iOS and macOS MDM management with Microsoft Intune. See previous video links below.

Happy to hear that!
awesome video! thanks a lot. Is there anyway to remove a macbook from ABM / Intune and Azure AD (remove from organisation) but without wipe / reset the device?

There are a few steps to follow - You can remove the device from Intune using company portal app if enabled, then delete the device from Intune, remove the device from the assigned device group in intune and then the assigned apple enrollment profile. Go into ABM and remove the specific device from the assigned Intune server then delete the device from ABM. You don need to wipe the device then. Please note if moving to another Intune tenant Apple and Microsoft recommend wiping the device first.
Hi Andy, how long it takes for the device to be ready to proceed with its enrollment? I got to the same part no issues on ABM side, neither at Intune however, device is shown as: State :Not Contacted and Last Contacted: Never , no blocks on Firewall so far. ERROR: Enrollment with management server failed. Unable to connect to the MDM server for your organization

Thiago, enrolment to the MDM server in ABM is pretty much instant but you do have to connect intune to ABM then sync the device. This can take a little while. Up to 30 mins in my experience. Then assign the device in intune to the enrolment policy

Not long. But once moved from configurator to intune (or other mdm) in ABM. It will be the device sync time to the mdm. Find your mdm connector token and press sync to hurry it up a little. Then it should show in the dep list in mdm and your default prestage
Hi Andy, Added and iPad to ABM and assigned the mdm profile but only option is "Erase iPad". After erase iPad it’s back to default setup. Can you help please? Cheers.

Hi parragoal if you’ve not resolved this I believe if you erase the iPad first this may help. I found this discussions.apple.com/thread/254589225
Do you have info to add an iPhone in Apple DEP with a Mac Mini?

Hi, have a look at episode 3 for adding iOS manually using the configurator app.
Does this also work for adding iOS to ABM?

Hi Yes it does
You missed a couple of things. It has to be a T2 security chip mac, or an M series to do this. The iphone configurator also needs to share wifi so needs a single password wpa2 wifi not an enterprise one

Many thanks. I wanted to keep this video short and sweet to complement the video of using the configurator app on a mac but thanks for the extra detail.

@@theCMC Hi I used a wired connection, not neet that struggles with app configuration and sharing wi-fi it was really quick, need to see what's causing the block in the corp network because when we were monitoring the traffic from the macOS device there were no blocks being shown.

I managed it, and it now working, home network worked like a charm. now having fun with app packaging #mdm #macos #apps
I tried to add an old Mac with OS Ventura but there is no screen for scanning there. The system asks for the region and the language on the next screen. It doesn`t show me it for scanning.

I have Apple Configurator installed on an iPhone 11. Can I use it to add another iPhone to Apple Business Manager? I've used your steps in the video but, when I get to the "Choose a Wi-Fi Network" and start the Apple Configurator", it just gives me a message "Looking for devices to add". I was trying to add an iPhone 6 as a test and thought it may eb too old but the blue emblem does show up if I am just trying to move the account from one phone to a new one. I cannot get it to show up with the Configuator. I am logged on to ABM with a managed Apple ID (Admin) in the app and on the iPhone itself. Any ideas?

Hold your iPhone close to the macbook while configurator 2 scanner is opened. It works via BT I guess.
