Configure Device Staging settings to pre-load essential configurations, applications, and security policies onto devices before deployment to end users, creating a fully operational corporate asset ready for immediate productivity. This profile enables IT administrators to establish baseline device states during the provisioning phase, including Wi-Fi credentials, VPN profiles, certificate installation, application deployment, and organizational branding elements. Device Staging eliminates first-day setup delays by transforming new hardware into business-ready endpoints before distribution, reducing helpdesk burden and ensuring consistent configuration standards across the device fleet regardless of end-user technical expertise.
Streamline device provisioning and deliver a consistent, branded onboarding experience by customizing Setup Assistant screens for Apple devices enrolled through Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). This configuration enables IT administrators to skip unnecessary setup steps, pre-configure essential settings, and reduce time-to-productivity for new employees while maintaining security and compliance standards. This enrollment configuration is essential for organizations implementing zero-touch deployment strategies, particularly for remote employees or large-scale device rollouts where consistent configuration and rapid deployment are critical to operational efficiency.
Configure digital certificates for authentication, encryption, and secure communications across devices and services. Deploy trusted root certificates, intermediate CA certificates, user identity certificates, or device certificates to enable secure network access, VPN connections, email signing and encryption, or application authentication. Manage certificate trust settings, specify allowed uses, and ensure proper certificate chain validation to maintain security standards across your organization.
Configure WiFi network settings for Apple and Windows, including SSID, security type, authentication credentials, proxy settings, and auto-join behavior. Deploy WiFi profiles to automatically connect devices to corporate, guest, or secure networks without manual configuration. Control network priority, enable captive portal bypass, and configure certificate-based authentication for enterprise WPA2/WPA3 networks. Essential for ensuring seamless connectivity across managed devices while maintaining security standards and reducing help desk tickets related to network access.
