This is a guide on how to use Apple's MDM.Â
By now you should have received your credentials in your mailbox. Make sure to activate it (We will know if you did or didn't, we get notified).
To activate simply use your provided email which is normally your email + .mdm in the name. So a.albayat@foodics.com will become a.albayat.mdm@foodics.com for the purpose of Apple's MDM.

How to remove MDM from a client?Â
WARNING:
1- YOU MUST MAKE SURE THE CLIENT IS AN EXPANSION CLIENT
2- THE CLIENT FIRST BRANCH/CONTRACT MUST BE BEFORE AUGUST 2026*
*When you check Salesforce and it seems that the client is an expansion client, we must make sure that the initial subscription (When they were considered New lead and not expansion) happened before August 2026. If the client is an expansion but he was a new lead after August 2026, then MDM still applies to them.Â
1- Go to Devices in the Apple Business management
2- Search in the inventory search bar using the customer's device Serial Number
3- Once you find the device you wish to remove MDM, select it then press on "Unassign Device management"Â
4- That is it from our end, there is a big chance it might not reflect immediately to the customer. What they will need to do to remove the MDM from the device is to factory reset their device. There are two methods to do that.
