Intune supports the enrollment of iOS/iPadOS devices using Apple Configurator running on a Mac computer. Enrolling with Apple Configurator requires that you USB-connect each iOS/iPadOS device to a Mac computer to set up corporate enrollment. You can enroll devices into Intune with Apple Configurator in two ways:

• Setup Assistant enrollment - Wipes the device and prepares it to enroll during Setup Assistant.
• Direct enrollment - Does not wipe the device and enrolls the device through iOS/iPadOS settings. This method only supports devices with no user affinity.

Apple Configurator enrollment methods can't be used with the device enrollment manager.Note- Enrolling devices with Apple Configurator is only applicable to iOS/iPadOS Devices. This method does not work for enrolling macOS devices.

Prerequisites

• Physical access to iOS/iPadOS devices
• Device serial numbers (Setup Assistant enrollment only)
• USB connection cables
• macOS computer running Apple Configurator 2.0

Create an Apple Configurator profile for devices

A device enrollment profile defines the settings applied during enrollment. These settings are applied only once. Follow these steps to create an enrollment profile to enroll iOS/iPadOS devices with Apple Configurator.

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > iOS/iPadOS > iOS/iPadOS enrollment > Apple Configurator.

2. Choose Profiles > Create.

3. Under Create Enrollment Profile, type a Name and Description for the profile for administrative purposes. Users do not see these details. You can use this Name field to create a dynamic group in Azure Active Directory. Use the profile name to define the enrollmentProfileName parameter to assign devices with this enrollment profile. Learn more about Azure Active Directory dynamic groups.

4. For User Affinity, choose whether devices with this profile must enroll with or without an assigned user.

   • Enroll with user affinity - Choose this option for devices that belong to users and that want to use the company portal for services like installing apps. The device must be affiliated with a user with Setup Assistant and can then access company data and email. Only supported for Setup Assistant enrollment. User affinity requires WS-Trust 1.3 Username/Mixed endpoint. Learn more.

   • Enroll without User Affinity - Choose this option for devices unaffiliated with a single user. Use this for devices that perform tasks without accessing local user data. Apps requiring user affiliation (including the Company Portal app used for installing line-of-business apps) won't work. Required for direct enrollment.

   Note

   When Enroll with user affinity is selected, make sure that the device is affiliated with a user with Setup Assistant within the first 24 hours of the device being enrolled. Otherwise enrollment might fail, and a factory reset will be needed to enroll the device.

5. If you chose Enroll with User Affinity, you have the option to let users authenticate with Company Portal instead of the Apple Setup Assistant.

   Note

   If you want do any of the following, set Authenticate with Company Portal instead of Apple Setup Assistant to Yes.

   • use multifactor authentication
   • prompt users who need to change their password when they first sign in
   • prompt users to reset their expired passwords during enrollment

   These are not supported when authenticating with Apple Setup Assistant.

6. Choose Create to save the profile.

Setup Assistant enrollment

Add Apple Configurator serial numbers

1. Create a two-column, comma-separated value (.csv) list without a header. Add the serial number in the left column, and the details in the right column. The current maximum for the list is 5,000 rows. In a text editor, the .csv list looks like this:

   F7TLWCLBX196,device details
   DLXQPCWVGHMJ,device details

   Learn how to find an iOS/iPadOS device serial number.

2. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > iOS/iPadOS > iOS/iPadOS enrollment > Apple Configurator > Devices > Add.

3. Select an Enrollment profile to apply to the serial numbers you're importing. If you want the new serial number details to overwrite any existing details, choose Overwrite details for existing identifiers.

4. Under Import Devices, browse to the csv file of serial numbers, and select Add.

Reassign a profile to device serial numbers

You can assign an enrollment profile when you import iOS/iPadOS serial numbers for Apple Configurator enrollment. You can also assign profiles from two places in the Azure portal:

• Apple Configurator devices
• AC profiles

Assign from Apple Configurator devices

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > iOS/iPadOS > iOS/iPadOS enrollment > Apple Configurator > Devices > choose the serial numbers > Assign profile.
2. Under Assign Profile, choose the New profile you want to assign, and then choose Assign.

Assign from profiles

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > iOS/iPadOS > iOS/iPadOS enrollment > Apple Configurator > Profiles > choose a profile.
2. In the profile, choose Devices assigned, and then choose Assign.
3. Filter to find device serial numbers you want to assign to the profile, select the devices, and then choose Assign.

Export the profile

After you create the profile and assign serial numbers, you must export the profile from Intune as a URL. You then import it into Apple Configurator on a Mac for deployment to devices.

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > iOS/iPadOS > iOS/iPadOS enrollment > Apple Configurator > Profiles > choose the profile to export.

2. On the profile, select Export Profile.

3. Copy the Profile URL. You can then add it in Apple Configurator to define the Intune profile used by iOS/iPadOS devices.

   Next you import this profile to Apple Configurator in the following procedure to define the Intune profile used by iOS/iPadOS devices.

Enroll devices with Setup Assistant

1. On a Mac computer, open Apple Configurator 2. In the menu bar, choose Apple Configurator 2, and then choose Preferences.

   Warning

   Devices are reset to factory configurations during the enrollment process. As a best practice, reset the device and turn it on. Devices should be at the Hello screen when you connect the device.If the device was already registered with the Apple ID account, the device must be deleted from the Apple iCloud before starting the enrollment process. The prompt error appears as 'Unable to activate [Device name]'.

2. In the preferences pane, select Servers and choose the plus symbol (+) to launch the MDM Server wizard. Choose Next.

3. Enter the Host name or URL and enrollment URL for the MDM server under Setup Assistant enrollment for iOS/iPadOS devices with Microsoft Intune. For the Enrollment URL, enter the enrollment profile URL exported from Intune. Choose Next.
   You can safely disregard a warning stating 'server URL is not verified.' To continue, choose Next until the wizard is finished.

4. Connect the iOS/iPadOS mobile devices to the Mac computer with a USB adapter.

5. Select the iOS/iPadOS devices you want to manage, and then choose Prepare. On the Prepare iOS/iPadOS Device pane, select Manual, and then choose Next.

6. On the Enroll in MDM Server pane, select the server name you created, and then choose Next.

7. On the Supervise Devices pane, select the level of supervision, and then choose Next.

8. On the Create an Organization pane, choose the Organization or create a new organization, and then choose Next.

9. On the Configure iOS/iPadOS Setup Assistant pane, choose the steps to be presented to the user, and then choose Prepare. If prompted, authenticate to update trust settings.

10. When the iOS/iPadOS device finishes preparing, disconnect the USB cable.

Distribute devices

The devices are now ready for corporate enrollment. Turn off the devices and distribute them to users. When users turn on their devices, Setup Assistant starts.

After users receive their devices, they must complete Setup Assistant. Devices configured with user affinity can install and run the Company Portal app to download apps and manage devices.

Direct enrollment

When you directly enroll iOS/iPadOS devices with Apple Configurator, you can enroll a device without acquiring the device's serial number. You can also name the device for identification purposes before Intune captures the device name during enrollment. The Company Portal app is not supported for directly enrolled devices. This method does not wipe the device.

Apps requiring user affiliation, including the Company Portal app used for installing line-of-business apps, cannot be installed.

Export the profile as .mobileconfig to iOS/iPadOS devices

1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, choose Devices > iOS/iPadOS > iOS/iPadOS enrollment > Apple Configurator > Profiles > choose the profile to export > Export Profile.

2. Under Direct enrollment, choose Download profile, and save the file. An enrollment profile file is only valid for two weeks at which time you must re-create it.

3. Transfer the file to a Mac computer running Apple Configurator to push directly as a management profile to iOS/iPadOS devices.

4. Prepare the device with Apple Configurator by using the following steps:

   1. On a Mac computer, open Apple Configurator 2.0.

   2. Connect the iOS/iPadOS device to the Mac computer with a USB cord. Close Photos, iTunes, and other apps that open for the device when the device is detected.

   3. In Apple Configurator, choose the connected iOS/iPadOS device, and then choose the Add button. Options that can be added to the device appear in the drop-down list. Choose Profiles.

   4. Use the file picker to select the .mobileconfig file that you exported from Intune, and then choose Add. The profile is added to the device. If the device is Unsupervised, the installation requires acceptance on the device.

5. Use the following steps to install the profile on the iOS/iPadOS device. The device must have already completed the Setup Assistant and be ready to use. If enrollment entails app deployments, the device should have an Apple ID set up because the app deployment requires that you have an Apple ID signed in for the App Store.

   1. Unlock the iOS/iPadOS device.
   2. In the Install profile dialog box for Management profile, choose Install.
   3. Provide the Device Passcode or Apple ID, if necessary.
   4. Accept the Warning, and choose Install.
   5. Accept the Remote Warning, and choose Trust.
   6. When the Profile Installed box confirms the profile as Installed, choose Done.

6. On the iOS/iPadOS device, open Settings and go to General > Device Management > Management Profile. Confirm that the profile installation is listed, and check the iOS/iPadOS policy restrictions and installed apps. Policy restrictions and apps might take up to 10 minutes to appear on the device.

7. Distribute devices. The iOS/iPadOS device is now enrolled in Intune and managed.

Apple Configurator 1.7.2 is a recommended update for all Apple Configurator users. This update is available from the Updates pane of the Mac App Store. About Configurator. To create or install an iOS configuration profile, use Apple Configurator or a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution like Profile Manager (included with OS X Server).

What is Apple Configurator?

Apple Configurator is a macOS application that allows administrators to create configurations and apply them to iOS devices. Before Apple Configurator, Apple offered iPhone Configuration Utility. Apple Configurator is the continuation of this sunset utility.

The range of configuration options in Configurator is extensive. Administrators can control minimum security requirements for passcodes, VPN configurations, on-device certificates, and even fonts. Generally, any configurations that can be applied via mobile device management (MDM) are also available in Apple Configurator.

Additionally, Apple Configurator provides the ability for an administrator to select which apps to install to iOS. Sign in with an Apple ID and select any app downloaded or purchased previously under that Apple ID.

How Does it Work?

How do i install dmg files on my mac. Apple Configurator combines these two capabilities to create a blueprint:

1. Configurations (aka profiles – made up of individual payloads)
2. Apps

An administrator is able to create multiple blueprints. Common groupings include role-based (executive, manager, contributor) or department-based (sales, marketing, support). Blueprints can also be layered on a device, allowing multiple configurations to overlap.

With blueprints configured, place Apple Configurator in ‘prepare’ mode. Then, each iOS device connects via USB or lightning and Apple Configurator pushes the configuration to the device. Also during this time, administrators can wipe devices, upgrade iOS, place into supervision mode, enroll with an MDM, etc.

The process can be time-consuming if one’s upgrading iOS or switching to supervised mode (which requires a system wipe). In these cases, we find many administrators use high-capacity USB hubs. Though we haven’t used it personally, the Cambrionix PowerPad15 is an example of a USB hub for this very purpose.

Sidenote: If looking to purchase a hub, check the capacity of power to the hub. If the wattage is too low, devices may not charge while plugged in. Decide if this is a requirement for your organization.

Why Use Both Configurator and MDM?

After explaining the functionality of Apple Configurator, an often asked question is: So why do I need MDM if I can manage configurations and apps this way? The question is a fair one, and the answer largely depends upon your organizational needs.

Apple Configurator can provide parity with MDM for some organizations with limited requirements. The big difference is the ability to control configurations after deployment. With Configurator, once an administrator unplugs the device, no further communication occurs unless the device plugs back into a computer. With MDM, administrators control configurations via WiFi or cellular connection.

Limited abilities exist to manage apps in Configurator. It only enables the basic process of installing selected apps. However, MDM will allow administrators to distribute company-owned app licenses purchased through Apple Business Manager (formerly Volume Purchase Program – VPP) as well as remotely update and remove apps. MDM is even capable of pushing app-specific configurations.

If you’re interested in how MDM can be used to simplify app deployment, we strongly recommend this read: Install Apps Remotely to iPads and iPhones which provides a comprehensive view of the many ways to deploy apps, each having its own strengths.

MDM provides additional features that an administrator can enable remotely. They can lock a device, wipe its contents, and monitor app installation. MDM also allows an administrator to access advanced functionalities, like forcing a device to only display a single app. A great example is the Square point of sale system.

Organizations learn to establish a balance when using both technologies. Apple Configurator is able to make sure all devices run the latest iOS version, are supervised and have an initial WiFi network connection. MDM is then used for all further configurations and management.

How To Enroll With MDM Using Apple Configurator

Enrolling a device with MDM generally occurs via a link either sent to the device by SMS or email or manually typed into a browser. This is reasonable for only a few devices or if employees will be enrolling their own devices. It absolutely does not scale for companies with a large number of company-owned devices that need to be set up. Instead, an organization will generally use the Apple Device Enrollment Program (read Explained: The Apple Device Enrollment Program) to have devices automatically configured with their MDM out-of-the-box, or they’ll use Apple Configurator.

We’ll now explain how to configure a device with MDM using Apple Configurator. To start, if you haven’t already, download Apple Configurator from the Mac App Store. Install the app and run it.

Once the application is running, plug your device into the computer.

Next, click the ‘Prepare’ button from the top bar of the app.

Configurator will ask you which mode you’d like to use. Select ‘Manual’ unless you have an Apple Business Manager account and want to add devices to it.

Apple Configurator will ask you if you’d like to assign the device to an MDM. Select ‘New server…’ if you haven’t completed this process before. The following screen will allow you to specify a name for your MDM as well as the enrollment URL.

The process for getting an enrollment URL varies between MDM vendors. For SimpleMDM, you must create an Enrollment (either group or one-time) in order to generate the URL as shown below. Paste the enrollment URL into Apple Configurator.

The remaining steps are not MDM-specific. The prompt asks if you’d like to:

1. Supervise the device and block other computers from managing it
2. Provide information about your organization to display on the device
3. Skip certain set-up screens during the initial iOS startup
4. Create or use an existing configurator identity. This is essentially a certificate that allows you to re-access these devices down the road with Apple Configurator on the same or on a different computer.

Once you’ve completed these steps, Configurator will begin setting up the devices you selected initially or plugin subsequently. The devices appear automatically in your MDM as they configure.

We run Windows. Can I Use Apple Configurator?

The strict answer is ‘no’. Apple Configurator software is only for macOS; Apple does not distribute a Windows version.

The nitty-gritty answer is ‘sort of’. None of these methods are recommended and may provide more pain than gain, so we generally recommend that organizations in this scenario purchase a Mac Mini to have as a resource for around the office. If interested in going down the rabbit hole, here are some methods that we’ve heard employed:

1. Apple used to distribute a Windows version of the iPhone Configuration Utility. It’s still available on c net here. The last software release was January of 2013. At best it’s missing many features and at worse it won’t work at all.
2. Run macOS as a virtual machine on Windows. We’re pretty sure this breaks Apple macOS software licensing rules, so we cannot recommend this methodology. We’ve heard some reports that most virtual machine software handles USB emulation in a manner that causes issues when connecting and disconnection iOS devices, but we cannot confirm this.
3. Use Apple DEP instead. When using MDM, Apple DEP substitutes for Apple Configurator. Apple DEP devices are ready out-of-the-box, eliminating the need for USB/lightning connections and extra touches. Referenced earlier, you can learn more about Apple DEP via this article. If you’d like to use DEP, apply for an account at deploy.apple.com.

If you aren’t already using MDM, manage your devices with a SimpleMDM account. Feel free to ask questions in the comments section. We’re here to help!
