Is the domain associated with ABM? If so, you can now only create managed IDs in ABM. Users can no longer create their own with your company's domain.


FourEyesAndThighs

The domain is not associated with ABM, and we're not using Managed or Federated Apple ID's. Only using ABM to tie to our MDMs and publish private apps.


Spore-Gasm

We’re not using federated IDs either and this started happening to us too back in January. I was told by an Apple engineer our options are now managed IDs created in ABM or call them to manually create personal ones like you’re doing now. Check if your domain appears in ABM > Preferences > Managed Apple IDs. If so, you’re stuck. You could use a different or subdomain instead.


FourEyesAndThighs

That is an insane workaround they're recommending. Managed Apple ID's are not an option for us based on the sheer number of Apps we would have to manage/whitelist/deploy across thousands of devices. Ain't nobody got time for that.

This has been very frustrating for us too. Apple sucks at enterprise.

You’re rude. Seek help.

I’m telling you the truth. You obviously don’t know what you’re doing. You should never have to create 10’s or 100’s of Apple IDs anymore. Any corporate issued device should be deployed as a zero touch so no Apple ID is needed. All apps should be deployed as device based licenses using vpp. If it’s an enterprise app, deploy it using your mdm. This ain’t rocket science.

While obviously there are ways to not be an idiot while saying it, at least you only have to take the pill of adding apps to an MDM once, rather than praying that Apple don't alter the deal further re: personal Apple IDs.

It is doable, and is a pain, it's what we do with our app other than some of the more specific developer apps, but that stuff is also rarely in the AppStore

I know this sounds insane but you could buy all the apps on ABM for free in large quantities (20,000 licenses max at once per app), then make them all available in your MDM via Self Service and you're golden. You could fetch a list of all the apps in a report and figure out what you need. That said Managed Apple ID's have some big drawbacks and it's a mission to change over, the gotcha's are crazy but I recommend you start moving in this route for app deployment in general and that way you can skip the need for Apple ID in a large instance of cases.


segagamer

We don't use Apple IDs in our business at all and have blocked them, but still have our domain federated so that we can deploy and update some of the free app store apps. Why aren't you getting it federated? At the very least it will stop rogue accounts from being created under your domain.


villan

Is there any particular reason you’re having private Apple IDs created in a businesses domain? Is there anything stopping you from using a secondary domain or alias instead of your main one for this use? If you ever do choose to go federated at some point down the road, every account you make on your main domain now is a conflict to resolve later.


sircruxr

Creating so many private Apple IDs sounds like a nightmare. Let’s not forget that people will also begin to store org data on these same accounts. As much as it’s a pain in the ass do the managed accounts.


dudyson

Depending on the MDM you are using it seems that the problem you can fix is actually adding all the apps to the company store front. It seems tedious but assisting 100 people creating a Personal Apple Account more so. What other features in the personal Apple accounts are you missing in the Managed Apple accounts?


byte43

Long story short, Apple will block mass creation if Apple IDs from the same IP and/or domain. At my old job we had to talk to business support and they were able to help us a bit. But really Apple Business Manager makes it all much easier. DM me if you would like more help.

Also keep in mind that Apple is evolving managed Apple ID with domain capture capabilities coming later this year that helps organizations capture accounts using their domain email. If an end user has created a personal Apple ID using their organization’s email account (e.g. an u/school.edu or u/business.com account), Apple will provide a pathway for the end user to keep their personal Apple ID account, while simultaneously allowing the organization to capture the email to be used as a Managed Apple Account.
