Migrate macOS Devices From Other MDM Providers to 探花大神

There are two ways to migrate macOS devices from other Mobile Device Management (MDM) vendors to 探花大神鈥檚 MDM. The method you use depends on the device鈥檚 enrollment status in Apple鈥檚 Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) or Apple Business Manager (ABM):

Warning:

For ADE devices enrolled with another MDM vendor, you must perform the following steps before they can be enrolled in 探花大神 MDM:

  • Unenroll these devices directly from the other MDM vendor.
  • Remove the old enrollment profile from these devices.

To migrate an Automated Device Enrollment-enrolled device to 探花大神 MDM:

You鈥檒l need to log into your ABM or Apple School Manager (ASM) account to reassign the device, and then re-enroll it using Apple鈥檚 Automated Device Enrollment.

  1. Access your current MDM provider and unenroll the device from that provider. If the current MDM provider cannot send the unenroll command and the enrollment profile is non-removable, you will need to erase the device before re-enrolling it with 探花大神.
  2. If the device was enrolled using Automated Device Enrollment with ABM or ASM, reassign the device from your ABM or ASM account:
    1. Log into your  or  account.
    2. Select Devices in the sidebar and select your device. You might need to search by serial number.
    3. Click Edit MDM Server.
    4. Select one of these options:
    5. Click Continue, then click Continue again to confirm the change. For more details on assigning and reassigning devices, see  on assigning, reassigning, and unassigning devices in ABM.
    6. Re-enroll the device. As root, use this command to enroll the device with Automated Device Enrollment:
      # profiles renew -type enrollment
      This command also creates a profile that the user cannot remove from the device, so that your company can continue to manage the device.

To migrate a non-Automated Device Enrollment device to 探花大神 MDM:

If your devices have not been enrolled through Apple鈥檚 Automated Device Enrollment or ABM, you can migrate those devices from another MDM vendor to 探花大神鈥檚 MDM. If you don鈥檛 have the 探花大神 agent installed, installing the enrollment profile also auto-installs the agent. See Add Company-Owned Apple Devices to MDM with Device Enrollment

探花大神's MDM Enrollment policy includes the ability to remove existing non-探花大神 MDM enrollment profiles so that you can migrate devices from another MDM vendor to 探花大神. See Create a MacOS MDM Enrollment Policy to learn how to remove existing non-探花大神 MDM enrollment profiles before re-applying the 探花大神 MDM enrollment policy.

  1. Unenroll device from your current vendor.
  2. Enroll the device with 探花大神. See Choosing an MDM Enrollment Method.
