Free Practice Questions for Apple DEP-2025 Exam

Account-driven User Enrollment requires a Managed Apple Account to initiate the process, enabling separation of personal and organizational data on personally owned devices. TheiOS Deployment Referencestates, "Account-driven User Enrollment requires the user to sign in with a Managed Apple ID on the device, which triggers the enrollment process and establishes a managed container for organizational data." Option B is incorrect as a personal Apple Account isn’t used for this enrollment type, C relates to manual enrollment methods, and D is not a standard requirement for this process.

Apple Configurator is a macOS application requiring a Mac computer to run, used for supervising and configuring iOS/iPadOS/tvOS devices via USB. An MDM solution (option A) can complement it but isn’t required. User acceptance (option C) isn’t needed, as it’s an administrative tool. A VPN configuration (option D) is unrelated. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide specifies a Mac as the platform for Apple Configurator.

Shared iPad requires Managed Apple IDs, created via Apple School Manager (ASM) or Apple Business Manager (ABM), to enable multiple users to log in with separate sessions. These IDs are organization-controlled and integrate with MDM for session management. Personal Apple IDs (options A and C, the same) are for individual use and incompatible with Shared iPad. There’s no “Shared Apple ID” (option D); Shared iPad uses individual Managed Apple IDs or temporary sessions. TheApple Platform Deployment Guidemandates Managed Apple IDs for Shared iPad.

For an MDM solution to operate effectively, it relies on certificates, particularly for secure communication with Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and for establishing encrypted connections via SSL/TLS. An APNs certificate is required to authenticate the MDM server with Apple’s APNs infrastructure, enabling it to send push notifications to managed devices. Additionally, an SSL certificate secures the communication channel between the MDM server and the devices, ensuring data privacy and integrity. Restrictions (option B) are policies enforced by MDM but are not prerequisites for its operation. Enrollment profiles (option C) are necessary to link devices to MDM, as discussed in Question 1, but they do not specifically address the APNs and SSL requirements. Apple’s documentation, such as theMDM Protocol Reference, explicitly states that certificates are essential for APNs and SSL functionality in MDM deployments.

Upgrading macOS requires volume ownership, tied to an admin account with permissions tomodify the system volume. ThemacOS Deployment Referencestates, "To install or upgrade macOS, the user must have volume ownership, which allows the system to authenticate the operation against the secure volume." Option B is for MDM updates, C is insufficient alone in newer macOS versions, and D is for content, not upgrades.
