11.1 Linking ZENworks to Apple Deployment Programs Account

A DEP Server links the ZENworks MDM Server to the virtual MDM Server that you need to create in the DEP portal.

A ZENworks MDM Server can be linked to multiple virtual MDM Servers. However, a virtual MDM Server that is already linked with a ZENworks MDM Server, cannot be linked to another ZENworks MDM Server. The devices assigned to these virtual MDM Servers will enroll to the associated ZENworks MDM Server.

To add a DEP Server:

  1. On the Getting Started with Mobile Management page, click Add DEP Server. Alternatively, navigate to Configuration > Management Zone Settings > Discovery and Deployment > Apple Device Enrollment Program.

  2. Click Add to link a ZENworks MDM Server to your deployment program account.

  3. Click the Browse icon, select an MDM Server and click Download to download and save the Public Key certificate of the selected MDM Server.

  4. Click Deployment Program Web Portal and sign in using your DEP account credentials. On this portal:

    1. Select Device Enrollment Program on the Welcome screen or on the left pane of the page.

    2. Click Add MDM Server to create a virtual MDM Server, on the Manage Servers page.

    3. Specify a name for the virtual MDM Server. You can also choose to automatically assign newly purchased devices to this virtual MDM Server.

    4. Upload the Public Key certificate of the ZENworks MDM Server that you had saved in Step 3. Click Next.

    5. Click Your Server Token, download the token issued by Apple and click Done.

      NOTE:You have now successfully created a virtual MDM Server. You have the choice of assigning devices to this virtual MDM Server before or after creating the DEP Server in ZCC. If you have chosen to Automatically Assign New Devices to this virtual MDM Server, then any newly purchased devices are automatically assigned to this server. To assign devices to the virtual server, see Assigning Devices.

  5. In ZCC, click Upload to upload the DEP token issued by Apple to the selected ZENworks MDM Server. This token enables the ZENworks MDM Server to securely connect with the Apple DEP web service.

  6. Click Add DEP Server. You have now created a DEP Server in ZCC.
