00:00.950 --> 00:05.420
In this section of the course, we're going to talk about device enrollment program and Apple school

00:05.420 --> 00:07.640
manager slash Apple business manager.

00:09.130 --> 00:16.930
The best way to really understand deep or assembly is in the context of how it enables over the air

00:16.930 --> 00:19.360
automation and configuration of your devices.

00:20.520 --> 00:26.870
What device enrollment program, or DEP, which was the legacy name of the service, used to be a stand

00:26.870 --> 00:27.130
alone.

00:27.150 --> 00:31.670
Now it's been integrated into Apple school manager, Apple business manager, depending on whether you're

00:31.670 --> 00:38.000
a school or a business, what it really does is it tracks purchases by your organization and it keeps

00:38.000 --> 00:46.550
a copy or a reference to a particular device, say, an iPad, a Mac, an Apple TV or any device that

00:46.550 --> 00:50.590
can be managed through an MDM solution or Apple configurator.

00:51.590 --> 00:58.670
So it maintains a database of all devices and synchronizes through either Apple configurator or through

00:58.670 --> 00:59.420
your MDE.

01:01.500 --> 01:06.510
The best way to illustrate this would be a diagram that looks something like this, so I'm really using

01:06.510 --> 01:08.270
two different solutions here.

01:08.280 --> 01:14.190
You could just use an MDM or just use the Apple configurator specifically.

01:14.190 --> 01:17.430
You'd want the MDM if you're going to use this with Macintosh devices.

01:17.700 --> 01:21.600
But for iPad and iPad, pro Apple Configurator will work just fine.

01:22.320 --> 01:29.250
So basically what we have is our deep database of all of our purchases, whether those be books, apps,

01:29.380 --> 01:34.680
any other items that we've purchased from a volume purchase perspective, along with all of those devices,

01:34.740 --> 01:41.520
all of our Macs, all of our iPads that have really been purchased probably since, I'd say 2012 or

01:41.520 --> 01:42.420
somewhere on there.

01:42.660 --> 01:48.690
When Apple started doing this that synchronizes back into assembly ABM.

01:48.690 --> 01:54.420
And we'll go through that just a little bit on how Apple school manager and Apple business manager tap

01:54.420 --> 02:01.200
into that deep database and then that would synchronize back down to Apple configurator or over to your

02:01.200 --> 02:01.830
MDM.

02:01.980 --> 02:06.720
And then basically, once you've configured your devices through Apple configurator, when they go to

02:06.720 --> 02:14.280
do their activation, they check in with Assembly ABIM and check to see that there's a record in the

02:14.280 --> 02:20.130
database and then you apply the appropriate settings from an MDM solution.

02:20.130 --> 02:23.430
It's even slicker, the device basically on boards.

02:23.430 --> 02:31.860
And at the time that you go through the setup assistant, it basically will connect back up to Apple

02:31.860 --> 02:38.490
school manager, Apple business manager and check the database and it'll point that device to a specific

02:38.490 --> 02:39.090
MDM.

02:39.240 --> 02:45.150
And then from there, the MDM takes over configuring the device with its mobile device model configuration

02:45.150 --> 02:50.700
profile and sets it up as supervised or whatever you've configured in MDM.

02:50.910 --> 02:53.100
We'll get into more of the MDM stuff in the future.

02:53.580 --> 02:59.250
But I think just for right now, I wanted to explain kind of how this all works together and why ASRM

02:59.550 --> 03:06.000
and EBM and DAP are important concepts to understand as it relates to configuring your devices over

03:06.000 --> 03:06.420
the ER.
