Add an iPad to Apple Business Manager (ABM) the fast way using Apple Configurator for iPhone. I explain what ABM is (the enrollment backbone that points devices to your MDM) and walk through the exact steps: reset the iPad, stop at the Wi-Fi screen, open Configurator on your iPhone, scan, and assign it to your MDM (Intune, Jamf, Kandji, etc.). Also what to avoid with Quick Start so you don’t tie the device to a personal Apple ID. Before you start: - Have ABM access and an MDM server already set in ABM. - Install Apple Configurator on an iPhone signed into your ABM-admin account. - Erase the iPad so it’s at the Hello screen and don’t proceed past Wi-Fi.
