when you're Company is enrolled in the Enterprise iOS Developer Programm, and you want to deploy an App in whatever way (.ips / OTA). Do all Device IDs (10000+) have to be registered and be Part of the Provisiong Profile or is it hopefully handled another way?
After exporting the app binary, it can be distributed using MDM (Mobile device management). However, you must still enter each device's UDID. There isn't any other option.
First off, yes, you do still need an Apple Developer account if you want to distribute your app in the App Store. Sorry to get your hopes up, but there's no getting around it. The good news is that you can develop and test your apps on your iOS device without a paid Apple Developer account.
Every Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad has a unique device ID number associated with it, known as a Unique Device ID (UDID). Apple's device ID is a 40-digit sequence of letters and numbers. Customers can access their device ID numbers in iTunes or by downloading a free app from the Apple App Store.
No you don't have to register all your devices, as specified in Apple's guide.

It will open the Organizer window at the end and there you have the option to "Distribute" the app (you can choose to save the .ipa on the disk or distribute it directly).
In-house apps are not distributed through the App Store, you have several choices to deliver them to your users:
