Automatic DEP enrollment

To enroll the macOS devices autmatically via DEP, you have to put them into the devicelist in your Apple School- or Apple Business Manager accout. After that you can sync the devices by hitting the Sync DEP devices button in the auto enrollments list in Relution.

Here you can assign users, policies, DEP profiles and rule sets. After the device is enrolled, it will be shown in the inventory.

If the macOS policy you created isn’t shown in the list, it is possible that it is not published.

Check the device

You can check if the profile is installed successfully by opening the profile function in the system settings on the macOS device.

Additional hints

  • If you do not set a device name, the device’s name is determined automatically after the device has been enrolled, based on information supplied by the device.

  • If you do not know the device’s platform, do not select any platform to leave it Unknown. Relution will then detect the device’s platform during enrollment.

  • You can apply/change the policy or rule set at any time after the enrollment. It is not required to apply a policy right away.

  • By default an enrollment is valid for seven days. You can change the validity period any way you wish.
