Device management | You can reassign devices from one MDM server to another. For example, you may want to spread the load of 10,000 devices from one single MDM server to three or four. |
Source | You can assign devices from different sources. For example, you may purchase all iPhone and iPad devices from one source and all Mac computers from another. The sources are:
|
Order number | Assigning devices by order number makes sense if a single MDM server is used for an entire device deployment (or a single order) and if devices are still in their original packaging and are going directly to the users. |
Device type | You can assign devices by type and model to a specific MDM server. This method makes sense if the devices you need to assign are all managed in an identical manner. You can search for device types using the search field at the top of the window. |
Storage size | You can assign devices by how much storage they came with when purchased. For example, you may want to assign all MacBook Pro computers with 1 terabyte of storage to an MDM server used by your graphics department. |
Serial number | You can paste up to 1024 serial numbers from a text file, with each serial number separated by a comma. |
