Hey guys,

Is anyone else having an issue with ABM auto-assigning new devices to an MDM automatically? This seems to coincide with the 'upgrade' to the new "Apple Business" but I'm not sure. In our case, these devices are being manually added to ABM using the Configurator and a second phone, but previously even those types of devices auto-assigned if I recall correctly. I've removed & MDM server from the default and re-added it, but no luck.

I manage a lot of devices on intune for my organization, and now we are getting a lot of apple devices added (iPhones and iPads). I need a way to track them if lost and I am worried that I cant do it with Apple BM and even Intune. I feel like I must be missing something here. We don't have the funding to get JAMF or such managers so I need to be able to control and track on Intune or ABM.

I setup the iPhone and managed devices with no user affinity but the "Locate" option is grayed out. Is this still is development or something?

Im attempting to do the Domain Capture via ABM, There is 59 unmanaged apple ID's (Not all will be in use anymore) However when trying to do the capture, Ive came across an issue where users dont even get the option to transfer it to the Org as seen here -

Is there something ive missed when doing the capture?
