ActiveSync config through Profile Manager (Lion Server)
Finally got Profile Manager up and running to begin to centrally manage a small but growing fleet of iPhones and iPads. Profiles are pushing fine, but one major aspect we need to get working is ActiveSync configuration. In the AS config under User, it has the following note:
"The Domain and User must be blank for device to prompt for user."
In the standalone iPhone Configuration Utility, you're able to omit the user name; when the profile is applied, it'll prompt for info. In Profile Manager, however, the user is a _required_ field. Is there a way to leave this out so the user is prompted for the information?
What you need is here:
http://help.apple.com/profilemanager/mac/10.7/#apd073333AA-30C6-4FD2-B2E0-E0C956 58A2C4
specify the user variable in the user name field - we used the "short name" variable as it corresponds to user names in Exchange.
We made it work!

2 SC.Error: sc4012: lengths of pendingStoreQueryPairsguidsFromRemoteand did not match!
How do I delete these 2 errors that I deny the use of profilemanager?Heres a follow up.
As you can see.
the enrolment profile should push through since the trust profile is already verified.
Here are the screenshots of my device enrolment;

I honestly dont know why...;-( -
Can I restrict OS version upgrades for client MacBook Airs through Profile Manager?
Hello everyone,
We have all our employees MacBook Airs (all on 10.9.3+) enrolled on Profile Manager as a group. When Mavericks first came out early adopters caused us no end of problems trying to work between 10.9 and those still on 10.8.
We now have the Server App (3.1.2) running on our server (a Mac Mini running on OS X 10.9.4). Is it possible to restrict a group from installing the next OS X release (I can't mention its name or Apple takes the question down as it's not released yet) through Profile Manager? We can restrict access to the App Store but this is too general for us as people still need to be able to update Apps just not OS version updates.
Thanks,If your users are plain users, they can't install anything without Admin access.
If your Users have Admin access, they can bypass anything, including whatever you THINK you gave them as restrictions with Profile Manager. -
Fast User Switching through Profile Manager
We recently started using OS X Server to manage our Mac computers, currently only 2 but further expansion is expected. I only have one of the Macs set up on the server for testing purposes. We are primarily an Active Directory network and I have implemented Open Directory through OS X Server and bound that to the primary Windows domain controller.
So far, things have gone quite smoothly with the integration except for implementing fast user switching on the single client machine tied to the OS X Server box. I have gone through Profile Manager and under the Login Window settings for the laptop, enabled fast user switching. However, it still does not work on the client machine after the changes were pushed out.
The user does not get her user name listed in the upper right and we have found no other method of using fast user switching. She specifically wants to display the login window when she's not at her desk (and this is required for security reasons). As it is, she has to completely log out of her machine every time she leaves her desk which is, inconvenient, to say the least.
I have searched through the discussions here and every mention I've found that seems to reference this issue also references using network home directories, which we are not doing. I have the home directory set to continue to reside on the local machine so the AFP/NFS issue shouldn't apply.
Prior to implementing OS X Server, the only thing we were unable to do was limit external drive use and writable media on the Macs since they don't recognize those GPOs from the domain controller. Updates were easily handled through a third party appliance that we already use for all our other devices and computers on the network. At this point, if fast user switching is unavailable, it would be less work and less inconvenient for me to simply limit the external media use locally and allow the Mac to be locked by removing the influence of OS X Server.
If anyone knows how to enable it though, this would be my preference since the Software Update is *easier* through OS X Server.I found the problem. The device group that the laptop in question was assigned to also has an option for fast user switching that was not enabled. I enabled it there and the problem was resolved.

Errors deploying Enterprise iOS app through Profile Manager
We manage about 35 iPads through Profile Manager, including deploying a custom made app.
We first deployed this app in July and had no problems with it. Our third party developers have released an update for iOS 7 and we are running into problems pushing it out through Profile Manager.
When I try to upload the IPA file through the web interface I get the attached error. Looking at the logs I see the following errors:
Sep 16 14:42:50 mdm.servername.com ProfileManager[210] <Info>: Unable to find icon file for '/var/devicemgr/ServiceData/Data/tmp/temp_extracted_folder_for_data_file_30/Pay load/Hope.app/Icon-72.png'
Sep 16 14:42:50 mdm.servername.com ProfileManager[210] <Info>: Unable to find icon file for '/var/devicemgr/ServiceData/Data/tmp/temp_extracted_folder_for_data_file_30/Pay load/Hope.app/Icon.png'
This is the first time we've tried to update our custom app. In trying to narrow down whether it was a problem with Profile Manager or the app I uploaded an older version of Apple's Podcast app, and pushed it out to a test iPad, then uploaded the current version through Profile Manager and pushed it out to the iPads with no problems.
Our developers say that nothing has changed from the original version to the new version.
Any ideas?We could solve this by opening the firewall for some ports (443, 1640, 2195, 2196, 5223, ) and ip addresses (17.0.0.0/8). Have a look at

Firefox doesn't open with profile even after creating a profile through Profile Manager.
I created a profile of Firefox yesterday using Profile Manager. And placed it in a virtual encrypted drive created by TrueCrypt. But Firefox didn't open with the profile. Instead it opened in default setting that Firefox usually gets when newly installed. I tried to select the profile through Profile Manager and open Firefox but to no avail. Even tried placing the profile in the Profile folder in Firefox pathway in AppData. Still same thing. At last reset Firefox and the profile was deleted. Now I'm with newly default setting. Luckily I had saved my bookmarks from Bookmark Manager.
I just wanted to save a profile so that only I can only access my profile and any other person would just had to use default setting. Also to restore my settings in case I install a fresh Firefox or reset Firefox to solve a problem.
Please help me fulfill my wants as stated above and why did it not work yesterday with the Profile Manager?Hello ams963, i think the problem is with TrueCrypt because it is not support your win 8 yet. see: http://www.truecrypt.org/
http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/version-history
see if can find a method in the next link, not too useful i think for your win 8 : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protect_the_profiles_contents Protecting the contents of the profile]

Difference between Profile Manager in Server v2.2 and Workgroup Manager - Mobility
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anybody experienced mobility management with Profile Manager in Server v2.2 ? It is known that mobility management in Profile Manager is broken in previous versions of Server:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3637378?start=0&tstart=0
Does anybody know if mobility management has been fixed ?
Thanks for your help. Best regards.I'd also like to know an answer to this. I'm managing a small network and don't have a test environment to stage things in. (This is needed as Profile Manager is WAY too unstable to production.)
I'm currently using WGM to look after Mobility settings and Profile Manager for everything else. I used this setup after I got the same reply as per thread 3637378. It would be nice to have the settings all in once place! -
Profile manager + Caching server 2
Is it possible to push an app already with an in-app purchase applied to it through profile manager, apple push notification and the caching service without any user intervention to install the in-app module? Synching such an app from a backup through iTunes over USB doesn't apply the in-app purchase automatically.
Hi all,
I can acknowledge the problem with unsigned configuration profiles. However, this seems to be inconsistent between installations.
After getting into trouble by upgrading two different servers from 10.9.4 both got a clean install from me. The fresh 10.9.5 installations both contain profile manager 3.2.1 and were made quite similar in different LANs and by independent Apple-IDs. Now there is only one of the two servers with profile manager showing the behavior discussed.
Patrick, I very much appreciate your a.m. fail list. -
I have my server set as server.xxxxxx.private, and need to know if it is possible to enroll it using profile manager. I assume this would have to be done when the IOS device is on the same network, and subsequently the DNS server would have to be added to the WiFi configuration. When I do this it tells me that Safari can't open the page. I manually installed the self signed certificate.
Same issues here.
Buggy as ****..
Also after some time, the Profile Manager PAne doesn't even fill in Server.app.....stays at Loading...
Nevertheless, the service itself works with the bug you outlined, plus enroll is impossible for me (check my post here: Can't enroll devices with Profile Manager - invalid key )
I hope all these get fixed in 10.7.1 !!! -
Install paid apps through Profile Manager?
I have been using the Mountail Lion Server and Profile Manager to push free apps to 70 ipads in our school. So far, so good. I now need to push a couple of paid apps through. Is that possible with Profile Manager? If so, what is the process?
No, and distributing paid apps to that many devices is against the iTunes terms of service if you didn't purchase them via the Volume Purchase Program:
http://www.apple.com/education/ipad/volume-purchase-program/
Have you looked into using Apple Configurator for this?

Pushing App Updates through Profile Manager
We are currently using Lion Server's builtin Profile Manager to manage a variety of iPads. I have been able to use it to push out new apps to the end users however I have not figured out a way to push out app updates. Is this possible?
For example our student iPads have Evernote ver. 4.1.9 currently installed. I would like to upgrade them to ver. 4.4.0. If I delete the the current Evernote app from the iPad I am able to then push the updated version. If I try to simply overwrite it the task appears to have worked from the view of the Profile Manager but the new version of the app is not installed on the iPad.
Any help is greatly appreciated.I found the problem. The device group that the laptop in question was assigned to also has an option for fast user switching that was not enabled. I enabled it there and the problem was resolved.

How to set a profile to a system profile in Profile Manager on Server Mavericks
We're trying to create a profile to allow wifi connection to allow AD logins. We have 802.1x PEAP network and we are able to set the profile up but it does not connect until after an user signs in. I know that there used to be a setting in Profile Manager to set the type (User, System or Login Window) but I can't seem to find it now. I know I could edit the profile code but I'd rather not get mucking around in there unless absolutely necessary.
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the OSX Server forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
Cheers, Tom -
When I started up the Server application, Profile Manager was not selected as expected. I selected it and started the first step of configuring Device Management in the Settings section. I entered the organization information and went on to the next step which was to Configure an SSL Certificate
I selected a "Self Signed" Cert. Which was the only one of the two choices that made sense. The other being the, com.deploystudio.server - Self signed
Hit next and it processed the info and went to "Finish" I click "Finish" and this is what I get when the setting are confirmed.
I stopped there since I suspect this error will probably come back to haunt me further down the line as if you recall we could not get the Profile to install due to the invalid cert which I suspect has something to do with this code -1 error at the get go. I ran the one command line instruction twice to verify this was not a quirk and the same occurred.
sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.shDid you ever get this resolved? This error is usually related to DNS, hostname, or Open Directory configuration. Let me know if you still need help.
