iOS MDM: Configure iOS device as supervised through MDM server

I am done with MDM server implementation for iOS devices. I want to make my device as supervised through MDM server while enrollment. Is it possible to do through MDM server? If yes,can someone give me idea how to do it? If no, then are there other ways to do it and how? Please if possible provide sample plist to do so.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Supervision can only be done at activation time. There is no way to supervise once the device is out of the Setup Assistant you see when you first start the phone. You'll need to erase the device and start over to supervise.

    You need to do supervision either through Apple Configurator or through the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) if you're using MDM to managed the device. You can read more information about DEP, the current regions where it's available, and the restrictions here: https://www.apple.com/education/it/dep/
