# Get Bootstrap Token

Gets the bootstrap token from the server.

## Discussion

A server that supports this request needs to include a `com.apple.mdm.bootstraptoken` value in the `ServerCapabilities` key of the MDM profile payload to enroll the device.

This request returns the device’s bootstrap token data that the server stores.

If a bootstrap token isn’t available, the server returns a success response with either a zero-length value for the `BootstrapToken` key or omits the key.

Requires a device enrolled using Automated Device Enrollment.
