Setting up Meraki to use DEP and MDM
1 Setup DEP in Meraki
Linking Systems Manager to
Apple DEP
In order to use the Apple
DEP with Systems Manager, a Systems Manager deployment must be linked to an
organization within DEP. These steps assume an Apple ID for the organization
has already been created, as outlined in the Device Enrollment Program Guide.
In Dashboard, navigate to
Organization > Configure > MDM, then scroll down to the Apple Device
Enrollment Program section.
Download the
Meraki_Apple_DEP_cert.pem file provided.
Apple bit
In another browser window,
go to https://deploy.apple.com/ and sign in with the Apple ID tied to the
desired organization.
Navigate to Device
Enrollment Program > Manage Servers.
Click Add MDM Server.
Enter a Name for the MDM
server in DEP, then click Next.
Click Choose File... and
upload the public key downloaded in step 2, then click Next.
Download the server token
provided, then click Done.
This is a “smime.p7m”
file.
Meraki
Back in Dashboard, click
on the Choose File button in step 3.
Select/upload the server
token downloaded in step 8.
Choose the default Systems
Manager network where devices tied to this MDM server in DEP will be enrolled.
Click Save Changes.
Setup Apple Configurator 2
for your Meraki MDM Server, (Manual enrolment)
Get the URL for the Meraki
MDM Server
In yor Meraki Dashboard go to Systems Manager > MDM > Add Devices
> iOS > Apple Configurator > Enrollment URL (AC2+)
What you actually need is
the bit on the screen that says
Apple Configurator
Another option for
installing the management profile on a large number of devices is the Apple
Configurator. Below is a link to the management profile for your network.
Download and import the profile into the Apple Configurator to enroll devices.
Management profile meraki_sm_mdm.mobileconfig
With Apple Configurator
1.5+ you have the option to provide an MDM URL which the device must use to
enroll during device setup.
https://n147.meraki.com/?id=645703596574250997&org=422228
Copy and paste this into a
TXT file (I did any way so I could put it on my MAC)
Then in the Apple Configurator 2 You can setup your
MDM Server.
Follow the instructions at
the “Apple Configurator 2 - Manual
Enrollment” Section.
On the MAC you need to go
to, Apple Configurator 2 > Preferences > Servers Tab . Click “+” to Add a server, Next > Enter Your Name
(call it what you want “Meraki MDM
Server” is what I used), then in Hostname
or URL: copy and paste in the Enrollment
URL from the TXT document on your Stick. As per above.
Now you can set up in Apple Configurator 2 your devices.
First you have to create the Profiles and Blueprints that you are going to use,
but this is another story.
