All right, I've got my mobile configuration profile set up and I'm ready to start onboarding and enrolling
my devices into configurator.
So the first thing I'm going to do, I've got my iPad connected here, fresh out of the box since hello.
I've got the hello screen.
Now, the first thing I'm going to do with this is I'm going to check and make sure that there isn't
any updates required, because the easiest way for me to update all of my devices to select them, hit
update, let them check in with Apple and see if there's a required update out there.
No, and it looks like all my apps and the OS itself is up to date, so that's great.
So I'm running 12. three and I can go ahead and confirm that in my list.
Sure enough, I am.
Had I been running something older, like 12, that one, it would have gone ahead and installed an
updated 12. three to four.
I would continue.
So when we go back here, I've got my iPad here again, and now we're going to go ahead and prepare
this and basically add it to Apple configurator for management.
So there's a couple of options for when you start to prepare devices, there's manual configuration
and there's automated enrollment.
We'll talk about automated enrollment in the section about MDM is that requires a mobile device management
solution for that.
So we're going to do manual configuration for today.
I'm not going to have the device to the device enrollment program.
I actually already have a device in DSP via app, a school manager.
And we'll talk about that again in a future lesson, too.
And we talk more about MDM and auto enrollment.
So I'm going to leave that alone.
I do want this to be a supervised device, so I want full access to all of those different configuration
options that have the parentheses supervised behind it.
And I'm going to allow these devices to pair with other computers.
I'm actually going uncheck that because I just want these devices to be standalone iPads.
I don't want them.
I'm going to be giving this to a student.
I do not want them to go home, plug it into their Mac or Windows machine.
I just want to make it its own self-contained experience.
So I'm going to go ahead and choose next.
I'm not going to enroll in MDM.
Had I set up a mobile config or mobile device management server earlier and the preferences I'd have
it here is listed in the list, but I'm not using MDM will hit next.
I've got my organization here which we set up, so I'll hit next to that.
So this is one of the things that's really cool.
Now, you mentioned that I have the device basically sitting at the hello screen like it's fresh out
of the box.
These are all the things that it could prompt my user for.
And if you set up an iPad, you're very familiar with all these.
You may not want if I'm going to hand this device to someone and have them go through the setup at all,
you may not want them to have to choose every single one of these.
So this is where you can do let's say, let's show no steps or only some of them.
So this gives you the option here to go through and make the choices that you want.
So I'm just basically going to say I'm asking about Siri, asking about the language and that's it.
The rest of the stuff we're going to leave alone.
I'm going to go ahead and say prepare.
And now it's preparing for the debate, preparing the device.
All right, now that that is completed.
I am ready to go through the quick steps to bring the device up and running.
All right, I've got my iPad here and I'm going to go ahead and get started with the setup.
It's asking me to choose a Wi-Fi network.
They go ahead and do that.
All right, it's prompting me for Siri, I'm going to say, yep, we'll continue, we'll use Siri.
Welcome to iPad.
Get started.
Boom.
Here we go.
So my device has been completely on board at that point, and it's going to go through and finish installing
some of the apps that are custom that came with the operating system.
So we're going to go ahead and let those install.
But you can see, because I prepared my device in such a way when I hand it to the user, they only
had to join the Wi-Fi and go ahead and, you know, enable Siri or not on the device.
And that was it.
So it cut down that initial time, setting up the device to just the setting that I wanted the user
to choose.
They chose their language.
They got on the Wi-Fi and they enabled Siri and now they're at the home screen.
All right, now I'm back inside Apple configurator and the other thing I want to do as a boy on board
this device, I noticed that I had not included any of my mobile config profiles at this point.
So I want to add one of those.
This is just going to be a generic iPad.
I'm not going to give it to the math department.
So I'm only worried about one profile and that is the my company profile.
So I've gone in here, I've selected the iPad.
It's still connected to my Mac and I hit the plus sign.
And I choose profiles at this point, you know, promise me to find my mobile config profile and I go
ahead and add that and you can see it will start adding it.
Here's my prompt.
So it's prompting me right with the option we'll say except.
And it's completed, so let's switch over to the iPad and see what it's added for us.
Switching over to the iPad here, I've got all my apps, looks like they've finished installing, and
if I just swipe here to the right, the last icon on the home screen is right there.
There's my Help Desk icon.
So that's the Web clip.
So that shows that that was applied.
I can also go into settings.
And you can see up here underneath it says this iPad is supervised and managed by my company.
So I can see that it's also supervised and it has the information there in.
At that, to learn more, the user wants to learn more about that.
And I can go to General and I can go to profiles.
And I can see my configuration profiles in here.
I can look at more details, shows me what was applied.
So they give you all the information that you need as far as whether or not the settings in the mobile
config profile we provided were applied properly.
