The OIMT Apple Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) Program Workflow outlines the procedures for purchasing, onboarding, and enrolling Apple iOS/iPadOS/MacOS devices within the Department of the Interior's Apple Business Manager (ABM) Portal. The workflow consists of three phases:
1. **Purchasing & Onboarding**: Authorized vendors must be included on the Apple Device Authorized Carriers/Vendors List. Vendors not listed can be added via a formal request. Purchasers must request onboarding during device purchase.
2. **ABM Approving & Linking**: Approval must be completed before powering on the device. If turned on prematurely, a factory reset is necessary. A request for approval must be sent to the mobile device team, providing specific device identifiers.
3. **Powering ON & MaaS360 Enrollment**: After the device is approved, it's powered on to go through a streamlined enrollment process. Users or IT specialists must ensure that the device is correctly linked to the MDM (MaaS360) for application installation and policy enforcement.
This structured process ensures compliance and proper management of mobile devices for OIMT employees, promoting efficient setup and security adherence across the organization.
