Q: Enable "Prompt User To Enroll Device" for all new devices

I've got DEP setup and working fantastically IF I create a placeholder for the device I'm about to enroll and define the Enrollment Settings to my liking.   Said DEP devices will prompt for all of the right stuff when the user goes through the setup assistant and then automatically enroll in the MDM, install apps etc.  This is all fantastic.

 

I'd really prefer not to have to create place holders for all of the devices though as this process is already convoluted enough.  Is there a way to either define the "Prompt User to Enroll Device" as the default behavior for all new devices that are setup for DEP?  There is the "Allow enrollment during Setup Assistant for devices configured using Device Enrollment Program" that can be defined based on user group but that doesn't have the desired effect. "Prompt User to Enroll Device" set for the device placeholder does exactly what I want but how can this be defined globally other than creating placeholders for all devices?

 

Thanks,
Jeff

    I'm able to add all of the placeholders (Which I didn't realize were created in Profile Manager automatically 30 mins or so after serial numbers are added to DEP) in a device group which then allows me to define this setting for all devices in said group but the process of adding the placeholders to the group is manual.  I'd rather not have to go into the group each time a DEP device is added, find that device or devices and add them to the group.  Am I missing some obvious way to handle this?

    Hi Jeff!

     

    Did you ever find a solution for this? I have the exact same situation.
