We've got ~50 employees, and for the most part everyone's got an iPhone and an iPad. Standard operating procedure up to this point has been to create an Apple ID for each employee using their work email on our Google Workspace domain. That's always been (mostly) fine up until now. Since Apple introduced Apple Business Manager, we are no longer able to create new Apple IDs with our Google Workspace domain. So now i've been trying to get my head wrapped around Apple Business Manager.

Does anyone here have experience with migrating to Apple Business Manager? How much of a headache am i in for? Will ABM reclaim all of our existing Apple IDs on our domain? From my limited digging, it sounds like existing Apple IDs will have to migrate to a temporary Apple ID, then let ABM reclaim the Apple ID, then you can reissue that Apple ID. Sounds kind of like a nightmare. Can we just leave all of our current Apple IDs as they are and just start managing the new ones with ABM?
