Apple Certified Support Professional DEP-2025 Book

To install a configuration profile on an Apple device, user acceptance is required unless the device is enrolled in an MDM solution with specific automation (e.g., Automated Device Enrollment). Configuration profiles, which contain settings or policies, are typically downloaded manually (e.g., via a website or email) and must be approved by the user through the Settings app on iOS/iPadOS or System Settings on macOS. An MDM solution (option A) can push profiles, but it’s not required for manual installation. An APNs certificate (option B) is needed for MDM communication, not profile installation itself. An ADE token (option D) is for Automated Device Enrollment, not general profile installation. TheApple Platform Deployment Guidenotes that user consent is a default step for manual profile installation.

Licenses can be transferred within an organization. TheApple Business Manager User Guidestates, "Licenses for purchased apps can be transferred to another location within the same organization in Apple Business Manager." Options B, C, and D are incorrect as free content doesn’t require negotiation, assignment isn’t automatic, and multiple roles can purchase.

To ensure Apple devices can access APNs and other Apple services (e.g., App Store, iCloud), network configurations must allow outbound traffic to Apple’s network, specifically the 17.0.0.0/8 IP block on TCP port 5223 (with 443 as a fallback). This requires adjusting firewalls or web proxies to permit this traffic, as many organizational networks restrict outbound connections. VPN access (option A) is unnecessary and impractical for all devices. SSO payloads (option B) manage authentication, not network access to Apple services. Bonjour (option D) is for local device discovery, not APNs connectivity. TheApple Platform Deployment Guideprovides these networkrequirements.

The personal recovery key resets passwords. ThemacOS Security Overviewstates, "With FileVault enabled and the personal recovery key escrowed to MDM, users can use it in macOS Recovery to reset their password."
