To unenroll or remove a DEP device so that it can be re-enrolled with a new user: To unenroll a device from Workspace ONE is to completely remove the device from Workspace ONE management. To unenroll or remove a DEP device so that it may be re-enrolled (or placed under Workspace ONE management again) with a new user, send a Device Wipe command to the device from the Workspace ONE UEM Console and enter the new user credentials during configuration. Navigate to Devices > List View and search on the top right to locate your device.Click on the device name and select More Actions > Device Wipe to restore the device back to setup assistant.Once the wipe is completed you may delete the device record from UEM console. For more information on Enterprise wipes, see Enterprise Wipe versus Device Wipe for Workspace ONE. To reconfigure DEP when you want to associate the device with a different user: Within the Workspace ONE UEM Console, navigate to the Organization Group where DEP is configured. From here, select Groups & Settings > All Settings > Devices & Users > Apple > Device Enrollment Program.Select Disable and Save. Refresh the page.Click Configure and download the public key by selecting MDM_DEP_PublicKey.pem.Log into the Apple Business Manager (ABM) portal.Upload the public key to your AW MDM server.Sign in with your organization's Apple credentials. Confirm your identity by entering the verification code and the Device Enrollment Program portal screen will appear. Navigate to Settings > Device Management Settings > Add a MDM Server.Enter the MDM Server Name.In MDM Server Settings, upload the public key by browsing from your local repository.Click Save.Upload the Apple server token in the Workspace ONE UEM Console by clicking Upload. After clicking Upload, select Apple Server Token file (.p7m). Click Next. This action allows Workspace ONE and Apple to authenticate with each other. As a best practice, use only one token at the customer organization group. Multiple tokens should only be added if your organization has a complex configuration or if devices are being enrolled with multiple DEP accounts. Configure the Authentication settings.
