Frequently Asked Questions
Will my apps or data be deleted?
No. The enrollment process migrates device management and does not remove your data.
How long does the process take?
Most devices complete enrollment in 1–3 minutes.
What happens if I ignore the enrollment notice?
We have a 1 week window to complete this process. If it is ignored longer then that, we'll need to do a factory reset of the iPad.
