Book excerpt: Working effectively with Apple platforms at a corporate or business level includes not only infrastructure, but a mode of thinking that administrators have to adopt to find success. A mode of thinking that forces you to leave 30 years of IT dogma at the door. This book is a guide through how to integrate Apple products in your environment with a minimum of friction. Because the Apple ecosystem is not going away. You'll start by understanding where Apple, third-party software vendors, and the IT community is taking us. What is Mobile Device Management and how does it work under the hood. By understanding how MDM works, you will understand what needs to happen on your networks in order to allow for MDM, as well as the best way to give the least amount of access to the servers or services that’s necessary. You'll then look at management agents that do not include MDM, as well as when you will need to use an agent as opposed to when to use other options. Once you can install a management solution, you can deploy profiles on a device or you can deploy profiles on Macs using scripts. With Apple Device Management as your guide, you'll customize and package software for deployment and lock down devices so they’re completely secure. You’ll also work on getting standard QA environments built out, so you can test more effectively with less effort. Apple is forging their own path in IT. They trade spots with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft as the wealthiest company to ever exist. And they will not be constrained by 30 or more years of dogma in the IT industry. You can try to shoehorn Apple devices into outdated modes of device management, or you can embrace Apple’s stance on management with the help of this book. What You'll LearnDeploy profiles across devices effectively and securely Install apps remotely both from the app store and through custom solutions Work natively with Apple environments rather than retrofitting older IT solutions Who This Book Is For Mac administrators within organizations that want to integrate with the current Apple ecosystem, including Windows administrators learning how to use/manage Macs, mobile administrators working with iPhones and iPads, and mobile developers tasked with creating custom apps for internal, corporate distribution.

Book excerpt: Managing Apple Devices covers a wide range of technologies that help you manage both iOS and OS X devices. This guide will teach you to formulate an effective plan for deploying and maintaining groups of Apple devices using iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks. You will be introduced to a variety of Apple management technologies including Mobile Device Management, the Volume Purchase Program, and the Device Enrollment Program. You will learn the theory behind these tools and may work through practical exercises that teach you to use the tools. For example, not only will you learn how to use Profile Manager–Apple’s implementation of Mobile Device Management–but you will also learn about the ideas behind profile management, how to make configuration easier for both administrators and users while maintaining a highly secure environment. The exercises contained within this guide are designed to let you explore and learn the tools provided by Apple for deploying and managing iOS and OS X systems. These exercises move along in a somewhat linear fashion, starting with verification of access to necessary services, moving on to the configuration of those services, and finally testing the results of those services on client devices. Each subsequent lesson and exercises can be seen as building on previous topics, with more advanced topics towards the end of the guide. Each lesson in this guide is designed to give technical coordinators and system administrators the skills, tools, and knowledge to deploy and maintain Apple devices by: • Providing knowledge of how Apple deployment technologies work • Showing how to use specific deployment tools • Explaining deployment procedures and best practices • Offering practical exercises step-by-step solutions available Recommendations: The world needs a book like this. The authors convey not only the nuts-and-bolts of how Apple's tools work but also the philosophy behind the tools. This is essential reading for anyone coming to the Apple world from other platforms. We do things differently over here and understanding the philosophy is every bit as important - perhaps more so - than knowing which buttons to press. I commend this book to anyone starting or modernising an Apple deployment. Fraser Speirs Head of Computing and IT Cedars School of Excellence, Greenock, Scotland

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to use Profile Manager, a feature included in OS X Lion Server, to configure and remotely manage iOS devices (including iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch) and Macs running Lion. With this eBook, you will learn how to use Profile Manager's web-based tools to configure user settings for services such as Mail, Calendar, VPN, and Wi-Fi; define passcode settings to prevent unauthorized access to data stored on your users' devices; and remotely wipe devices if they go missing. The Profile Manager uses the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS), so you can immediately push configuration changes to your devices, as long as they have some kind of network connectivity. Why do all the work yourself? Show your users how easy it is for them to use the self-service web portal to download and install the configuration profiles you've carefully crafted for them, and how to remotely lock or wipe their own devices without your intervention. This eBook includes the knowledge you need to configure your Lion Server to be an Open Directory master, use an appropriate SSL certificate, provide Profile Manager services, and perform basic troubleshooting.
