Learn to automate iOS and iPadOS device management within your existing macOS fleet using Jamf Pro in this comprehensive conference presentation from JNUC 2025. Discover how to leverage Apple Business Manager for zero-touch enrollment of supervised devices, deploy applications through Volume Purchase Program (VPP) without requiring Apple IDs, and configure Jamf Security Cloud for comprehensive mobile threat defense. Master the key differences between macOS and iOS management approaches, understanding that iOS relies exclusively on configuration profiles and blueprints rather than scripting or packages. Explore pre-stage settings for automated device naming, activation lock configuration, shared iPad deployment, and setup assistant customization. Implement Self Service for on-demand app installation, books, PDFs, and Wi-Fi profiles to reduce initial setup time. Configure managed app settings for applications like Outlook and Self Service, ensuring pre-configured deployment. Deploy Jamf Security Cloud with both app-based and network-based threat prevention, including automated security deployment through Jamf Trust App and activation profiles. Navigate the requirements checklist covering Apple Business Manager setup, token management, managed app configuration, and smart group automation. Understand the migration process from Microsoft Intune to Jamf Pro, particularly the new iOS 26 capability that eliminates the need for device wiping during transitions. Gain insights into smart group coexistence, managed Apple ID implementation, Jamf Trust SSO integration, compliance enforcement strategies, and practical migration considerations for organizations expanding their Apple device management capabilities across Mac, iPhone, and iPad deployments.
