Automatically apply policies to Apple Configurator-enrolled iPads synced from ABMSolved

Hi @isaiah,

Apple Business does not provide an option to preselect a specific Hexnode enrollment profile while assigning a device to an MDM server. From Apple Business, you can only assign the device to the required MDM server. During activation, the iPad contacts the assigned MDM server and receives the enrollment configuration from Hexnode.

If the enrollment profile or its associated settings were modified after the ADE payload had already been deployed to the device, those changes will not be reflected on that already activated device. In that case, the device must be factory reset and activated again so it can fetch the latest ADE enrollment profile.

For policy assignment, a more scalable approach is to use a device group:

1. Go to Manage > Device Groups in Hexnode.
2. Use the default iOS device group, or create a new dynamic device group with criteria that match the enrolled iPads.
3. Associate the required policy with that group.

Once configured, newly enrolled iOS devices that match the group criteria will be added automatically and receive the assigned policy.

That makes sense. Since factory resetting adds an extra step for our deployment flow, we went with the dynamic device group method instead. Assigning the policy to the iOS dynamic group worked better for newly enrolled iPads.
