How to Prepare a Device for Apple Configurator Enrollment — Step by Step
This is part of the Apple Configurator Enrollment in Microsoft Intune course. In this video I walk you through the complete device preparation process in Apple Configurator on Mac — from connecting your iPad to seeing the Remote Management screen. Once this is done your device is fully provisioned and ready for enrollment in the next video.
What you will learn in this video:
How to reset your iPad and get to the Hello screen before preparation, how to connect your iPad to your MacBook and get it appearing in Apple Configurator, how to select the device and enable the Prepare button, how to configure the Prepare Devices screen including Manual Configuration, why we do not select Add to Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager in this flow, why Supervise Devices gives you more management settings and when to enable it, how the Allow Devices to Pair with Other Computers option works and when to restrict it, how to select the Device Management Service created in the previous video, how to select or create an Organization for supervised devices, how Setup Assistance screens work and how they compare to skip keys in ADE enrollment, and what the Remote Management screen means and why seeing it confirms successful device preparation.
Why this matters:
Getting the preparation step right is critical — the settings you choose here, including supervision, pairing restrictions, organization, and Setup Assistance screens, directly affect how the device behaves during and after enrollment. This video makes sure you get it right the first time.
This video is perfect for:
IT admins following along with the Apple Configurator Enrollment course, anyone preparing Apple devices for Intune enrollment using Apple Configurator on Mac, and anyone who wants to understand what each setting on the Prepare Devices screen actually does before clicking through.
