Can't believe how difficult this has been. We're looking at replacing our between 2-5 year old various Android devices with a bulk of iPhone 6s. I purchased one from Amazon so I could get the configuration down, automate the set up as much as possible and roll it out. I've connected Apple Business Manager to our MDM which is Cisco Meraki Systems Manager. The iPhone wasn't purchased through an authorised reseller so I need to add it manually (it's on iOS 12.something so from what I've read in Apples manual this should be possible). Do I still need to use Apple Configurator to do this? Going to ABM > Device Assignments and entering the serial doesn't work (I'm assuming because it's not linked to us in anyway). I can connect it to Cisco manually and it works fine, I'd just like to be able to do it through Apple Business Manager and then automate the connection and deployment of apps through Meraki.
