Set up device enrollment with Apple School Manager

Set up Microsoft Intune to enroll Apple mobile devices purchased through Apple School Manager. Using Intune with Apple School Manager, you can enroll large numbers of devices without ever touching them. When a student or teacher turns on the device, Apple Setup Assistant runs with preconfigured settings and the device enrolls into management.

Prerequisites

To enable Apple School Manager enrollment, you use both the Microsoft Intune admin center and Apple School Manager portal.

Device platform requirements

This enrollment method supports the following platforms:

  • iOS/iPadOS
  • tvOS
  • visionOS

Devices must be added to Apple School Manager. You need a list of serial numbers or a purchase order number to assign devices in Apple School Manager. tvOS and visionOS devices enroll without user affinity and are enrolled as corporate-owned devices with configuration delivered through custom configuration profiles.

Tenant configuration requirements

Apple School Manager enrollment can't be used with the device enrollment manager account.
