Did you ever figure this one out? I had 205 out of 208 devices enroll properly, but 3 of them did not... "Device not accessible" is in the CSV file. How can I get these devices in the DEP system? They are actively used devices...

Hi all.


If you are getting an 'device not accessible' error it is indeed because the ipad serials are not on your re-sellers portal.


I have today had the same issue on numerous ipads when trying to add them with serial numbers on the DEP portal.


Your apple re-seller will have to register the ipad serials on their side of the portal and you then should be able to add the ipads via the orders section of DEP.


I shall be testing this tomorrow so will post an update...:)

You have to buy them through Apple's Business Channel on your Business account. Just buying off the shelf from the Apple Store (including the generic online store) does not allow them to be enrolled in the DEP. You can still add them to your MDM that manages the DEP devices, but you will have to do that manually, and you won't have all the options that are available for a DEP purchased device.
