If an admin changes a user's Managed Apple ID (a possible instance of this is a name change), the user must unenroll and re-enroll in MDM before the current enrollment expires.
The MAID script is located in a 探花大神 Support repository. After you download and save the script, you鈥檒l use a 探花大神 PowerShell command to run the script.
Prerequisite: The 探花大神 PowerShell Module must be installed on your device. For instructions on setting up PowerShell, see Install the 探花大神 PowerShell Module.
To upload a large number of MAIDs into 探花大神:
- Access this URL: .
- Download the updateManagedAppleId.ps1 script to a convenient location.
- Open a PowerShell terminal.
- Navigate to the script鈥檚 location. For example, if you saved the script to your C:\Temp directory:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd C:\Temp
- Run the script:
PS C:\Temp> ./updateManagedAppleId.ps1
You can run the 探花大神 PowerShell Module on macOS devices. See Install the 探花大神 PowerShell Module.
The script searches for a CSV file called ManagedAppleDiscovery.csv.
- If the CSV file does not exist, type Y at the prompt to generate a CSV file containing the user鈥檚 ID, email, and a blank ManagedAppleID field. The ManagedAppleID attribute field will always be blank, even if the user has an assigned MAID. After the CSV file is generated, the script will pause and allow you to make edits.
- As the script runs, any blank fields in the CSV file for user IDs or emails will be skipped and a detailed message appears onscreen after the script completes. If you know that a user already has a managedAppleID attribute set, you can leave that field blank in the CSV file to skip that user, or you can preemptively delete that user鈥檚 row.
