Migrate DEP devices from a source server

You can migrate
iOS
devices that are enrolled in the
Apple
Device Enrollment Program (DEP) from a source
UEM
server to a destination
UEM
server. Complete the additional tasks detailed below to support the migration of DEP devices. After completing the steps below, DEP devices with the
BlackBerry UEM Client
and the
MDM controls
activation type can be migrated using the
UEM
management console. DEP devices without the
UEM Client
or with other activation types instead require a factory reset and reactivation on the destination server.
Note that the DEP enrollment configuration is not migrated and the devices will lose the enrollment configuration settings in the destination environment.
In the management console, on the menu bar, click
Apps
. Search for and click the
UEM Client
. On the
iOS
tab, clear the
Remove the app from the device when the device is removed from BlackBerry UEM
check box. If you try to migrate devices without clearing this option, the
UEM Client
is removed and the device may be unenrolled from
UEM
.
  1. In the DEP portal, create a new virtual MDM server.
  2. Connect the destination
    UEM
    instance to the new virtual MDM server. For instructions, see Configure BlackBerry UEM for DEP.
    Verify that the DEP profile of the destination
    UEM
    server matches the DEP profile of the source server.
  3. Move the DEP devices from the source virtual MDM server to the new virtual MDM server.
  4. Do any of the following:
For DEP devices with the
UEM Client
and the
MDM controls
activation type, instruct users to open the app that is configured as the authentication delegate. This will trigger the migration on the device.
