How to migrate devices from Profile Manager to Soti

With Apple ending support for macOS Server we intend to use Soti to manage all our apple devices but I have hit a wall

We have around 400 devices that need to be enrolled in Soti. Doing it by hand is gonna take forever

Does anyone know of a solution to automatically enroll these devices from Profile Manager to Soti? Keep in mind that I dont have these devices listed in Apple Business Manager because I havent bought them from licensed apple resellers

The problem is that most if not all devices enrolled in profile manager were bought from random shops and not from apple official resellers 

Apple support was really not helpful in giving me a solution to migrate devices from profile manager to anything else

Hi Stefan,
 
Thanks for posting on SOTI Pulse. Regarding your query about automatic apple device enrollment. you can refer to the document given below:

https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v15.6/en/console/devices/managing/enrollment/apple/dep/appledep.html
 
But, As you have mentioned that you do not have access to the Apple business manager, So we are checking it if there is an alternate way to enroll the devices.

Moreover, could you please let us know what is the MobiControl version currently in use?

Hello,

I have access to apple business manager but as mentioned above it is not populated with devices because they were not bought from official retailers 

This is the version

Hi Stefan Dumitrache,

Sorry to let you know that you would have to do some manual work as devices are bought from unauthorized sellers .

One way to do this would be to use apple configurator , but for that there are some pre requisites as well .You could check the below link to learn more about that  :
