If your devices were not added to your Apple Business Manager<\/a> (ABM) or Apple School Manager<\/a> (ASM) account, you cannot use Apple\u2019s Automated Device Enrollment to enroll devices. You can instead enroll those devices with user approval by following the procedures below. These procedures do not use Apple’s Automated Device Enrollment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> \n

If you use macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later and your device was not enrolled via Automated Device Enrollment, then you must manually download your organization’s MDM enrollment file, distribute it, and install it as described below. If you use macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or earlier and your device was not enrolled in Automated Device Enrollment, you can use a policy to create, distribute, and install an MDM enrollment file. See Create a Mac MDM Enrollment Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To enroll a device with user approval, you\u2019ll need to download and distribute your organization\u2019s JumpCloud MDM enrollment profile file. Enrollment profiles aren’t device-specific, and you can download the profile file using a link on a device’s JumpCloud MDM tab. The disadvantage of enrolling devices with this method is that the process can be time-intensive and might require physical access to the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your macOS devices were added to ABM or ASM, you can use Automated Device Enrollment to enroll those devices in MDM.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
