Introduction
Originally, only Apple devices purchased directly from Apple or from trusted resellers could be added to Apple School/Business Manager. If devices were purchased from other sources, they could not be automatically enrolled in Relution via Apple DEP.
iOS / tvOS devices via Apple Configurator 2
Apple now allows iOS and tvOS devices to be added manually to Apple School/Business Manager using the Apple Configurator. This allows you to enjoy all the benefits of automatic enrolment via DEP, regardless of where the devices were purchased. macOS devices must still be purchased from an authorized reseller in order to benefit from the advantages of automatic enrolment via DEP.
