In this lesson, we're going to review how to set up a mobile device management over the air using our
profile manager and Apple school manager, now a Minneapolis school manager here.
And I've set up my apps and my books.
I've purchased 50 floating licenses, 10 of each of the apps.
And the book that I want to assign my devices.
First thing I have to do before I can do anything is actually assign a device to my MDM server.
So you can see down here, I've got my Udemy test server that we set up in the last lesson.
Right now I have a default device assignment sent to none.
That means that any new devices that I purchase are not going to be automatically added to the server
means I have to assign devices to the server manually, which I'll do in a second.
Now, if you are setting this up, you'll probably only have one MBM server that you're going to want
all your devices to automatically be assigned to.
And if that's the case, you can change this and have it automatically.
Make this your auto device assignment's or.
But for our purposes today, we're going to go over here to device assignments and other devices.
Enter this in here.
Search for it.
All right, I've got an MDM server selected here, but that's not what I want.
I want to select you dummy test server.
And I'm going to do that hit, Don.
All right, it has been assigned.
So now when I go back into.
My settings option here and I go down to you dummy test server, you can see I have one device listed.
All right, I'm going to minimize all of this, I'm going to go back to profile manager.
I'm actually going to open up profile manager in Zafari.
And now that I've done that, I should be able to go to devices here to refresh.
And I have my device.
All right, now I'm inside profile manager and taking a look at this iPad, one of the things that I
could do is just go in and start setting this up so you can go to settings and you can see right here
if you're familiar with.
Apple configurator, which you should be at this point, you can edit a very similar interface to app
to Apple configurator here for setting up all of your different restrictions in other settings.
So I can do all the same things I did in configurator here.
On a per device basis, now, typically, you're probably not going to want to do this individually
for every device, right?
You're going to want to go in and set up a template similar to what a blueprint was in Apple configurator
for your device device groups that you're going to have.
So I'm going to do that here down below.
I've got device groups and I'm going to create a device group and we're just going to call this you
done group.
Now, this allows me then to have the same access so I can go in here and and set up some settings,
so let's first just start by editing the settings for our you dummy device group.
And what I'm going to do just very simply, I'm just going to create a couple of quick restrictions
here, will hit configure and I'm going to disallow face time and I'm going to disallow Siri when the
device is locked and I'm going to disallow iCloud back up and I'm going to disallow iCloud photos just
randomly.
These are all things that you can look through on your own and see just the level of detail.
But again, just like Apple configurator, pay attention to where they say supervised only about 99
percent of the time we're going to go in here and and enable supervision anyway, which we will do here
in a second.
We'll go through the groups here.
We're going to go ahead and disallow the use of the iTunes store and for media content, we're going
to go ahead and change the movies to PG and the TV shows to TV by seven.
And we're going to allow only apps for ages nine below our nine and up.
So we're going to say this and we're going to turn off the music.
So pretty simple.
Say, OK to that now, I've got some restrictions here for this Udemy group going down through enrollment
settings, we're going to go ahead and enable.
We're going to say let's allow activation lock.
And we'll do bypass code.
We won't set the device name for now.
We're going to prompt the user to enroll in the device management because I want to showcase what that
looks like on the device to you.
We're going to make sure they can't skip it.
We're going to make sure they can't uninstall it.
And we're not going to allow them to pair with any machines, we want these to be static devices and
I'm not going to set this up as a shared iPad, although this is where you would do it and be able to
set your number of users.
We're not going to require credentials for enrollment.
And then this is all a setup, assistant options, so I think we did this in the past, we're not going
to prompt to set up cellular.
We're not going to prompt a move.
We're not going to set up screen time.
We're not going to set up updates.
We're not going to try to pair with an Apple Watch.
We're not going to change anything with the home button and we're not going to do a new feature highlights
so that allow us to skip through those things.
We're not going to touch ID, not going to be true down to Apple Pay or to set up a new or restor and
we're going to do any of these that actually will keep Siri on.
So you can see that actually prompts for that.
So that gives us the options that to make those changes.
I can see there's some Mac OS ones in here.
We're going to ignore those for right now.
We'll come back to that later.
And it saved save this group.
Perhaps we're going to go ahead and add, I basically want to put in.
One of each of these so we're going to go ahead and say, OK to that and we've got these set to automatic
so they'll automatically install as part of the setup.
And for books, all right, I'm going to go ahead and add books, and you can see I have nothing listed
here and I want to point something out because this trip me up as well.
When I was first using this, you can only assign in-house enterprise books.
So if you're creating your own textbook full of ebooks author, for example, you can add those in and
assign them here.
And you can see I do have iPad User Guide listed here, and it is under my assignable modes, but you
can see when it comes to assignable modes here, you can see device is not an option.
So I can assign books by user and you can see here I can assign them only by Apple ID or manage to Apple
ID.
So adding a book to a user.
I'll show you the interface for that a little bit later.
Apps.
We've got these applied here so I can apply those to the device via the device group.
So kind of tricky there, you can really only add the books if they're something you've done yourself.
They're not out there on the bookstore.
If you want your users to be able to redeem a book on the bookstore, you have to do it through the
school manager and assign it and it cannot be revoked and assigned to someone else.
Next, we go to members, we're going to go ahead and hit the plus here, we're going to add a device
to our thing.
And here is the iPad that we had set up.
So we'll go ahead and have that.
So now our iPad is part of.
This group, and we've got no activity to track here, so at this point, I've got my settings set,
I've got my apps assigned, I've assigned it one book to this group or sorry, one iPad to this group,
rather.
And I'm going to hit save.
And now I have got this ready to go.
All right, so we've gone ahead and set up our apps and our device settings, but we still have to sign
those books.
So here's how we actually do that.
We're going to users.
We find the user here.
In this case, we'll just pick on some Egill.
So here's Lisa.
She's basically set up on a user level.
She's part of the all users group.
And.
We've got our settings and everything for her is basically basic, we're not overriding any special
settings for Lisa.
She doesn't have any special apps, although we could hear assign specific apps just for Lisa.
And this is where you actually sign up the books, so you go hear it.
Plus, here's where you have your option to select the book for her.
It OK and hit save.
So this is assignment mode with her applied, so based on Lisa McGill's Apple I.D. that we have registered
for her, she can go to the eBook store and it will show up as purchased and she'll be able to download
the iPad user guide into ebooks.
So that's how we assign books.
Now, I did mention that we can also do other things for us so we can make some special restrictions
for her and we can adjust those things as well.
And we can go in and make adjustments on enrollment as well as set up specific.
Restrictions and mobile config profiles just for Lisa.
Across your devices.
And we can actually on board and assign a device to Lisa, so we actually say this particular device,
let's say.
It's this one is Lease's device, and that would override the settings that we've set into the device
group or will merge them.
So listen over to the iPad, we'll go ahead and step through the set up, you'll see that we get to
the remote management prompt this time, which is new, and this is where it goes up and check and see
if there's any configuration profiles or any other remote management supervision or other things that
need to be applied and applies those and then steps us through creating the passcode, which we'll skip
for now, Siri.
And once we get to the welcome to the iPad screen, we can slide over and see that it is starting to
install the apps that we had assigned to the device.
Once those apps are done, installing the device is pretty much ready for the user to be able to start
using.
