From the Prepare pane, connected devices can either be put into Supervised mode or remain un-supervised (supervision OFF).

Follow these links to download the application, and view more Apple Configurator documentation.Īlternatively, devices that meet the requirements can be supervised and enrolled over the air using Apple's Device Enrollment Program, or devices can be enrolled using Configurator v1.5 or later by providing the enrollment URL during device preparation.Īpple Configurator provides for three workflow panes: Prepare, Supervise, and Assign.

Apple Configurator is only supported with Mac devices running OS X 10.7.5 and higher.


Systems Manager provides administrators the ability to mass enroll devices using Apple Configurator, a Mac application. Apple Configurator allows for mass configuration of iOS devices while physically synced via USB to a Mac computer. A USB hub can be used to configure dozens of devices at once. Push the Meraki Management profile to devices synced to a Mac computer.Push a profile with a wireless payload to devices synced to a Mac computer (optional).Import the Meraki Management profile to Apple Configurator.If we have a look at the figure of an iPad that is enrolled with user affinity you see that besides for instance the home screen layout, also other profiles are deployed.Enrolling and Supervising iOS Devices using Apple Configurator v1.4 or earlier Note: The last figure is taken from a device enrolled without user affinity If you did not you are only able to deploy policies to devices in a (AAD) group. If you enabled user affinity, then you are able to deploy policies, profiles and/or profiles to both the device and enrolled user.

Next the user needs to accept the terms and conditions.Īfter the user has accepted the terms and conditions the iOS device ready for usage and can be managed via Microsoft Intune. If you enabled user affinity, then the user needs to authenticate with the user account.Īfter authenticating the configuration profile will be downloaded and installed to the device. The configuration will be applied to the device and it will be automatically enrolled. Select the WiFi network or connect via 4G to connect to the Internet So after the device has been erased and rebooted it is ready to be used by the user. While the device is being wiped the device will be activated automatically and the device will be configured in Supervised mode. Note: be sure to have a sim in the device so that the Apple Configurator can take care of the activation process The Configurator will prepare the iOS device, which is still connected via the USB cable with the macOS device and it will be erased. Leave Supervise devices and optionally Allow devices to pair with other devices enabled and click Next.Ĭonfigure the Company information and choose to Generate a new supervision identity.Ĭlick Next and configure the screens you would like to show to the user while setting up the device. Review the certificates for the MDM (Intune) and click Next. Supply a name and choose if you want to enroll the device with or without user affinity. In the Intune on Azure Portal, go to Intune > Device Enrollment > Apple Enrollment and click AC Profiles. Before we can configure an iOS device with the Apple Configurator we need to prepare the Intune service. The Apple Configurator can be used to create MOBILECONFIG files that you want to deploy via Microsoft Intune, but you can also place the device in supervised mode and take care of the fact that the device will be auto enrolled in Microsoft Intune. In this blog, I will focus on the Apple Configurator and how this can help you fully control the iOS devices. So how do we configure a device to be in supervised mode? This can be done in two ways, via the Apple Device Enrollment Program (Apple DEP) or via the Apple Configurator.

You see supervised devices often in schools, retail environments and healthcare were the devices are used for one or more goal and often are locked down. When an iOS device is in supervised mode we can fully control the iOS by configuring settings that cannot be configured when it is not. Supervised mode is introduced by Apple in iOS version 5 which allows you to differentiate the company owned devices and the personally owned devices. Configuring the Apple iOS device via the Apple Configurator requires that you have the iOS device connected to a macOS device that is running the Apple Configurator. With the new Intune on Azure portal released you can add iOS devices that are configured as Supervised devices via the Apple Configurator 2.
