Deploy Devices Using Manual Enrollment with an Enrollment URL

  1. In the JSS, enable the Apple Configurator enrollment method(s) you intend to use.
    See Apple Configurator Enrollment Settings in the Casper Suite Administrator's Guide.

  2. If you are enrolling via a dynamic URL, use an enrollment invitation to generate and view the enrollment URL or send it to the person operating the Apple Configurator workstation.
    See "Viewing or Sending a Dynamic Apple Configurator Enrollment URL via a Mobile Device Enrollment Invitation" on the Apple Configurator Enrollment Settings page in the Casper Suite Administrator's Guide.

  3. Make sure a supervision identity is in the JSS and on Apple Configurator 2 workstations.

  4. In Apple Configurator 2, add the enrollment URL for the JSS to the MDM server preferences.

    • If you are enrolling via the static URL, enter the static Apple Configurator enrollment URL for the JSS.
      The static Apple Configurator enrollment URL for the JSS is the URL for the JSS followed by “/configuratorenroll”. For example, "https://jss.mycompany.com:8443/configuratorenroll".

    • If you are enrolling via dynamic URL, the enrollment URL is available in the JSS or in the email or SMS message sent via the enrollment invitation, depending on whether you chose to view or send the URL.
      See "Mobile Device Management Server Preferences" in Apple's Help documentation.

  5. If users will not connect to a network independently, create a Wi-Fi configuration profile.
    See "Create and Customize a Configuration Profile" in Apple's Help documentation.

  6. Create a blueprint that will be used to apply the profile and enroll devices with the JSS.
    See "About Blueprints" in Apple's Help documentation.

  7. Modify the device information for the blueprint if desired.
    See "Modify Device Information" in Apple's Help documentation.

  8. Prepare the blueprint:
    See "Prepare Devices Manually" in Apple's Help documentation.

    1. Select "Manual Enrollment".

    2. Select the Casper Suite as the MDM solution.

    3. Select your supervision options and choose a supervision identity.

    4. Select which steps in the iOS Setup Assistant to skip.

  9. If you created a Wi-Fi profile, add the Wi-Fi profile to the blueprint.
    See "Add Configuration Profiles" in Apple's Help documentation.

  10. Connect devices to the Apple Configurator 2 workstation using a USB cable.

  11. Apply the blueprint.
    See "About Blueprints" in Apple's Help documentation.

The devices are configured with the settings in the blueprint and enrolled with the JSS.
