Step 1 - Onboarding Device to Apple Business Manager
- If the device has been reimaged or is new and has not be enrolled by supplier then start from #
- If the device has been enrolled by the phone supplier you can skip to **
In order to onboard an iOS device into Apple Business Manager you must first install the Apple Configurator App on your personal phone. This phone must be also connected to Wi-Fi (PBR Corporate Wi-Fi doesn't work with this process) so needs to be connected to Internet Wi-Fi. iOS version of your personal phone and the new PBR phone need to be similar, but not necessarily exactly the same (it worked for me with my personal iPhone on 18.01 and PBR iPhone on 17.7)
Apple Configurator App is available for the App Store, icon looks like
# If the device has been reimaged or is new and not enrolled by phone supplier then you can start here
- Open Personal iPhone and log into Apple Configurator with PBR Apple Business Manager Username (apple@pbr.org.au) and Password (in 1Password). This MFA's via SMS to the IT Mobile,(messages can be accesses from the Who's On Call App) Click on settings and ensure that 'Share Wi-Fi' is enabled
- If the phone has been used previously then it must first be erased, once erased or if new proceed with the guided setup until you get to the screen prompting to connect to a Wi-Fi network. (DO NOT CONNECT).
- On your personal phone scan the screen of the new PBR phone and a QR code will appear and then the new phone will go through the process to add to Apple Business Manager.
- Once complete log into Apple Business Manager https://business.apple.com with same creds as above. Navigate to Devices
**If the device has been enrolled by phone supplier then you can start here
- Select the device you added (best done by serial number) you now need to assign the MDM server to the device, click on 3 dots top right, select edit MDM server and select Intune as the PBR MDM Server.
- Now the new device will be updated as per below
This is all that needs to be done in Apple Business Manager.
Step 2 - Onboarding Device to Intune
Step 3 - Configuring Device in Intune
- Once visible you need to assign the device (
not theor user) to an AAD group, (this is where the majority of configuration gets applied) there are currently3the following groups setup -- Intune_iOS_iPhones_Individual - User Group

Wifi policy is attached to a seperate AAD group, to avoid issues with devices in Kiosk mode losing network connectivity when changing policy's.. thiis way a device cabn be removed from its Kiosk Mode group, whislt enabling it to stay connected. I have expereinced issue where you can get locked out of a device if in kiosk mode that gets disconnected from wifi
