Multiple MDM questions

Hi all, I'm setting up JAMF for the first time for our Mac's. We also have Intune for our phones, also being freshly setup.

I was curious if anyone else does this. My question is should I be setting up a separate Apple DEP ID for our phones, or is there a good way to manage 2 different MDM's in Apple's DEP that I'm not yet seeing?

Thanks.

I'd probably go 2 seperate, assuming you're buying phones from a carrier.

That way you can auto assign devices to the appropriate DEP server.

You can have two or more MDM servers associated with a single Apple ID. As @rderewianko suggested, you will have one default MDM server that you can set for all new devices to be associated with. If don't mind assigning each device to the right MDM server, you can use a single Apple ID.

In school.apple.com at least default device association is by device type so you should be able to point different device types at different MDM servers. I don't seem to remember this being an option prior to upgrading to school though so for enterprise it may be different.
