3. How do you provide an amazing end user experience that
integrates with your network?

4. It Takes
Planning
Preparation
Training

5. Terminology DEP: Device Enrollment Program
Apple School Manager: DEP for Education
Supervision: Allows for extra restrictions & Single App Mode
VPP: Volume Purchase Program

6. Terminology OTA: Over The Air
Caching: Storing files & data for future use
Configuration Profiles: Settings & overrides for iOS devices
Managed Apple IDs: Restricted & disallow purchasing

7. Where to begin How many iPads are you going to manage?
What is your budget for the iPads?
What control do you want over the iPads? Realtime?
Do you have a Mac laptop available?
Are you going to use paid apps and iBooks or only free apps?

8. Volume Purchase Program
Three types of VPP
Standalone
DEP
Apple School Manager (Migrate Standalone to DEP first)
Redeeming iLife/iWork apps:
Rule of 10-20

9. Apple School Manager (ASM)
Next generation of DEP for Education
Creates and manages VPP accounts
Allows you to assign iPads to MDM servers for OTA settings
Create & manage “Managed Apple IDs”
Helps retain ownership over stolen iPads

10. Managed Apple IDs Different than Apple IDs for Students
Organization “owns” the managed Apple IDs
Avoids issues with children under age 13 under COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)

11. Apple Classroom

12. VPP / ASM best practices
Don’t make a regular username a VPP or admin account
Create an alias that can be redirected to a group or a single user.

13. Apple Configurator 2 Vs MDMs

16. Apple Configurator 2 Demonstration

17. #BetterTogether Using Apple Configurator 2 can speed up MDM enrollment
Apple Configurator 2 can help with DEP activation, but it can be cranky
Apply restrictions and profiles from your MDM, not Apple Configurator 2
Can’t share the same VPP account between MDM and Configurator 2
You can use multiple VPP accounts in each

18. Apple Configurator 2/MDM Demonstration

19. Speeding Things Up

20. Apple Caching Server

21. Monitoring Caching Server
Tail -F /Library/Server/Caching/Logs/Debug.log

22. Apple Configurator 2/MDM Tips & Tricks

23. Apple Configurator 2 Multiple Operations
I can only use AC2 for one operation at a time!? 😱
But wait, just open a new window from File 😎
Limitation: 🚫 use same blueprint concurrently

24. DEP, AC2, & WiFi

25. Supervision Identity Issues

26. Supervision Identity Issues

27. AC2 & Profile Identifier
Give yourself a better profile identifier than the default one

28. Activating DEP Devices via Non-DEP

29. Going Above & Beyond

30. What is Bonjour?
Apple’s implementation of zero-configuration networking (zeroconf)
Allows for printer, Apple TV, iTunes & other discovery on the subnet.
Limits: Broadcasts within subnet only.

31. Bonjour Browsers http://www.tildesoft.com/files/BonjourBrowser.dmg
(IOS Bonjour Browser)

32. Bonjour Gateways Rebroadcast Bonjour notifications
Doesn’t actually route traffic
Clients need functional route between subnets

33. Airprint Driverless printing for iOS & MacOS Via WiFi or wired network
Printers announced via Bonjour
Supported by most new printers
Extension of IPP (Internet Printer Protocol)

34. Legacy Printers No Airprint support
Examples: Copiers, USB connected printers
Free & paid products provide Airprint
Paid: Handyprint, Printopia, Presto
Free: Linux & CUPS

35. What is CUPS? Common Unix Printing System
Modular Printing system (replaced LPD)
Used by Apple in MacOS as well as Linux/Unix
