# Getting Started - Enrolling Devices

### Before you Begin

We highly recommend testing your Blueprints on designated testing devices rather than in your production environment. This approach helps ensure your configuration functions correctly before deployment.

We suggest following this testing checklist:

1. Remove the current MDM (if applicable). After removing the previous MDM profile, confirm that company devices can still connect to Wi-Fi.
2. Test all desired security settings.
3. Conduct thorough app compatibility testing for all teams whose devices will be enrolled in Kandji.

### Enroll Devices

Adding devices to Kandji through Automated Device Enrollment with Apple Business Manager is easy to set up and can create a true zero-touch deployment for your fleet. To configure device setup, follow the steps below.

#### Individual Device Assignment

1. Log in to [Apple Business Manager](https://business.apple.com/) and select **Devices** from the left-hand navigation bar.
2. Search for a device in the search field.
3. Select the device from the list.
4. Click **Edit Device MDM Service.**![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/Kandji-Support-KB-1146AM@2x(2).png)
