A method for determining auto-enrollment eligibility for an electronic device with an enterprise domain is provided. The method includes generating a reverse lookup of the IP address of the host through which an electronic device is requesting initialization in order to determine an associated domain name. The method also includes comparing the associated domain name to a list of enterprise domains and determining if the electronic device is eligible to auto-enroll with the an particular enterprise domain. The method also includes determining if the enterprise domain has an available license for the type of electronic device and sending a request to the electronic device to initiate auto-enrollment.
