How to enroll a corporate MacOS device automatically

Question

I have a Mac device from the company for which I do not have purchase information and it does not have a T2 chip, it is an Intel based Mac.

The method tested was the one described in the following link:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/enrollment/device-enrollment-program-enroll-macos

I have followed all the steps and synchronized with intune, at the time of verification no devices appear because there are none in ABM, to add one it asks me for information that I do not have that is for sale.

What options do I have to configure an automatic registration like the one provided by autopilot?

Try to enroll manually, but the device does not have a T2 chip, which prevents this.

Thank you for your contributions.

@Douglas Bonilla Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

The link you provided is ADE method. ADE method needs that the device is purchased in Apple School Manager or Apple School Manager. It seems that your device isn't.

There are only three methods to enroll MacOS to intune. Given this situation, it is suggested to use BYOD enrollment method or Direct enrollment method to enroll this device.

For BYOD enrollment method, devices are marked personal by default. You can add the Macbook serial numbers to the corporate device identifiers to mark the devices as corporate. For Direct enrollment method, you can use this method when devices are owned by your organization. However, they aren't associated with a single or specific user. For more details, please refer to the following article:

Hope it will help.
