ADE Profiles

What

The ADE (formerly known as DEP) Profile section allows us to create, edit and remove ADE (Apple Device Enrollment) profiles.

When/Why

There are a lot of different reasons for creating and editing ADE profiles, but in general ADE profiles control device setup behavior for Apple devices.  With these profiles we can control what dialogs users see during device setup, force devices to enroll in our MDM environment, and even control device naming.  ADE profiles are a critical part of setting up automated device enrollment and setup.

How

The below is a quick run-through of creating (and editing) a new ADE Profile targeting AppleTV devices.
