VPP and DEP Apple ID
In order to utilise Apple’s deployment programmes, our recommended approach is to first setup an generic Apple ID which will be used as the program facilitator.
To do this, please complete the following:
Contact your e-mail administrator and request the following e-mail address be setup, deploy@yourdomain.com. This should ideally be assigned to a distribution group or a dedicated mailbox. The reason this should be assigned to a group or as an alias to a mailbox means it can be easily re-assigned to other staff at your organisation or institution easily to accommodate staff changes.
NOTE: This e-mail address CANNOT be already associated with any Apple services including exisiting App Stores.
Choose the correct program to suite your organisation / institution:
