iPhone Air added to ABM by vendor automatically assigned MDM server even if Default Assignment is None for iPhones

iPhone Air added to ABM by vendor automatically assigned MDM server even if Default Assignment is None for iPhones.

There is no info about assignment in Activity report.

How can I find out what or who assigned this device to an MDM server ?

iPad Getting assigned to MDM via ABM but keeps asking to erase iPad and then loses MDM assignmnet on Device I have assigned an iPad to our company using the Configurator app. It shows in ABM and in our MDM. The iPad tells me it's asigned and the only option is to erase iPad. I do this and it goes back and tries to set the device up as a manual device again. I have been through the process 4 times and can't get the iPad to hit the login for the MDM regardless of what I try

Added MDM Server, but only option is "Erase iPhone" Hi Everyone, I could use some help with Apple Business Manager and my MDM. I used Apple Configurator 2 on a iPhone. I scanned the QR code and device I was adding, an iPhone, states "This iPhone has been added to "[my company name]". This iPhone has been assigned to MDM Server "[my server name]" in Apple Business Manager" I logged into Apple Business Manager and the device is correctly assigned to my MDM Server. Then I went to my MDM, in this case Knox Manage, and synced the device over. I can now see the device and I assigned it a profile. However, nothing has changed on the iPhone itself. I still see the same message with the only option being "Erase iPhone". If I click this button, the device erases and the OBE starts all over again. It is not clear where I'm suppose to go from here. Any assistance is appreciated. Kind regards

You would have to ask those who have access to your ABM.
