Apple DEP upgrading to Apple Business Pros and Cons?

[MikeMandalorian]

So we will be upgrading to Apple Business from AppleDEP before Dec17th cut off 

for anyone that has already done it, anything to look out for , bugs,glitches, lost licences,tokens

I've gone through this, its all very easy. Basically nothing much changes apart from its a centralised dashboard that allows you to manage DEP and VPP as well as managed Apple ID's in one place.

The migration was fairly smooth. I freaked out at first because it appeared a good chunk of my devices were missing post-upgrade, but I just had to click the force sync button, and everything populated as expected. Haven't had any syncing issues since then.

We have been using the new system for an number of months now. I had posted when we first went over:

Only thing to note is the VPP.

Meraki have also updated the documentation for this: https://documentation.meraki.com/SM/Apps_and_Software/Apple_Volume_Purchase_Program_(VPP)

The only thing to remember is that the APNS Certificates are still part of a different system!

Now time to get all our customers across...
