Andre Downer Apple System Engineer downer@apple.com

3 ways of Configuring iPads: 1) manual configuration - can do restrictions of apps like camera, mail, and safari. Nice basic way to configure and can be done via iTunes. Will restore encrypted passwords as well. Nice for small number of iPads. 2) MDM Configuration - a few different mobile device managers can do mass configurations for you. Can layer policies. Even macbooks can be managed by MDM's. 3) Apple Configurator - great for mass configurations and redemptions of VPP codes. 3 levels of configuring: prepare, supervise, and assign.


 * It is CRITICAL that if you use Apple Configurator on a macbook to have a time machine backup on it since VPP codes are tied specifically to that machine!
