Content token expiration disrupts app sync. TheApple Business Manager User Guidestates, "If the content token expires, app licenses won’t sync to the MDM solution until it’s renewed." Option B affects notifications, not apps.

AppleConfigurator for Macis a powerful utility for provisioning and preparing iOS and iPadOS devices. According to Apple Learning, one of its key uses is toenroll devices in MDM. This can be done by preparing devices with enrollment profiles, supervising them, and optionally assigning them to Apple Business Manager for Automated Device Enrollment. Configurator cannot remotely control devices — physical access is required. OS updates are still downloaded from Apple servers, though Configurator can facilitate the restore or update process. It also does not replace iCloud backups, especially for biometric data, which is never exportable. Its central role in deployments is enabling supervision, enrollment, and assignment of devices to MDM servers. This makes Configurator essential for environments where devices are not purchased directly from authorized resellers.

Configuration profiles allow IT administrators to manage Screen Time settings on iOS/iPadOS devices (and macOS to a lesser extent), such as setting app limits, restricting content, or enforcing downtime. These profiles are deployed via MDM or manually, aligning with organizational policies. Find My (option B) and iCloud (option C) are unrelated to Screen Time management. MDM (option D) delivers profiles, but the profiles define the settings. TheApple Platform Deployment Guidedetails Screen Time configuration via profiles.

Auto Advance skips Setup Assistant. ThemacOS Deployment Referencestates, "Auto Advance automatically skips all Setup Assistant panes on a Mac connected to Ethernet, streamlining deployment." Options B, C, and D are not standard MDM features.

Apple’sApps and Bookssection in ABM allows organizations to purchase licenses and assign them to locations. Apple Learning confirms that when licenses are transferred from one location to another, thetotal license count remains unchanged. The licenses are simply reallocated within the organization. They cannot be transferred if already assigned to devices or users — those must first be unassigned. Apple does not require approval for transfers between internal locations, as the entire pool remains within the same ABM account. Additionally, macOS installation has no relation to license transfers. The primary purpose of this feature is organizational flexibility, enabling licenses to be moved between campuses, schools, or departments as needs change, without altering the overall purchased quantity.

Server tokens expire annually. TheApple Business Manager User Guidestates, "The MDM server token expires every 12 months and must be renewed to maintain enrollment functionality."

Supervision on macOS provides additional management authority for IT, including enforcement of restrictions and advanced security controls. According to Apple Learning, supervision is automatically established on Macs when enrolled throughAutomated Device Enrollment (ADE)or through directDevice Enrollmentusing MDM enrollment profiles. ADE is preferred because it provides zero-touch deployment linked to Apple Business Manager. Device Enrollment, though requiring manual action by the user or admin, can also establish supervision. User Enrollment is limited to iOS and iPadOS BYOD workflows and does not apply to Macs. “Organization Enrollment” and “Supervised Enrollment” are not defined enrollment types in Apple’s terminology. Thus, the two valid methods for achieving supervision on Mac are Automated Device Enrollment and Device Enrollment.

Managed Distribution, available through Apple Business Manager (ABM) or Apple School Manager (ASM), is required to push apps to devices using an MDM solution. It allows administrators to assign app licenses (purchased or free) to devices or users, which the MDM then deploys silently, assuming the device is supervised or the user consents. An APNs certificate (option A) enables MDM communication but isn’t specific to app pushing. User acceptance (option C) may be needed for non-supervised devices but isn’t a requirement for supervised ones. A VPN configuration (option D) is unrelated. TheApple Business Manager User Guidedetails Managed Distribution’s role in app deployment.

Developer assignment is required. TheApple Business Manager User Guidestates, "To distribute Custom Apps, the app developer must assign the app to your organization’s Apple Business Manager ID."

The Organization ID links purchases. TheApple Business Manager User Guidestates, "Provide your Organization ID to the reseller to ensure devices are assigned to your Apple Business Manager account."
