Guys,

In my environment I got 85 devices enrolled in Jamf using User initiated Enrollment because my organization did not have ABM and that's why user initiated enrollment did for those 85 devices. Now my organization going to bring rest 30 - 40 devices unmanaged devices to jamf through ABM by enrolling through ADE. In case If I bring those 85 devices to ABM and assign the ADE profile to those 85 devices, shall I run the reenroll command to enroll through ADE or I've to do the factory reset and initiate the ADE. Kindly advice

it's always a best practice to reset the device and Enroll again.

    Hello!

    If you assign the ADE profile to the 85 devices that were previously enrolled via User Initiated Enrollment, you do not need to run the re-enroll command. Instead, simply remove the existing MDM profile from those devices and assign the ADE profile. This will initiate the Automated Device Enrollment process. Here are the steps you can follow: remove the existing MDM profile from the devices, assign the ADE profile to the devices in Jamf, and the devices will automatically enroll with the new ADE profile. This approach should streamline the transition without requiring a factory reset.

    Use the profiles command will achieve supervision, but it is a fairly hands on process. Reinstalling macOS would be straightforward process with little touch from IT. Ultimately its down to if reinstalling macOS is palatable, and what your tolerance of hands on time with devices.

    Once the devices are added to ABM, you can trigger the below command on the devices. This is like re-enroll so the enrollment policy may trigger again. Thanks.

    sudo profiles renew -type enrollment
