Apple “Device Enrolment Program (DEP)” devices are designed to be enrolled into Intune straight out of the box. The device cannot be setup or used without being first enrolled into an MDM system, and DEP cannot be removed or wiped from the device by the user.

This document explains the installation procedure to enrol Apple iPads and iPhones devices that have been set up for Apple DEP into Intune MDM. This is usually mostly will be for new devices bought from vendors such as Academia, XMA, etc. Your experience may differ slightly, but the principal procedure of this guide will be comparable.
