IPhone Configuration Utility: Email with alias(es)

Hello everybody!
I have to add an email account to two iPhones and two iPads. The account includes many email aliases.
In the iPhone settings there is the possibility to add aliases to an account, but it is long-winded by adding so many aliases.
On my Mac I can add aliases by annexing the aliases after the main address in the address field in the preferences. (e.g. "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
So I tried to create a configuration Profile with all account informations in the iPhone Configuration Utility (iPCU). This app is very comfortable for that tasks, but it seems there is no easy way to add an account with aliases! I didn't found a field for aliases in the email tab and the line of action like Mac's mail.app (main address and alias addresses in one text field separated by comma) doesn't work In addition I tried to write all addresses in the email address field separated by semicolon: failed
Note: If I added an Email account to my iDevice via iPCU I'm not able to adjust the email address field in the iOS ettings, so I can't add aliases. If I leave the Email address field in the iPCU in blank, my iDevice request me to enter the address, but I can't add aliases, too (However adding aliases on iDevice that isn't my intention, but maybe it is an good hint for you)
Thanks for you support!

I have exactly the same problem, I bought temple run oz but it says not compatiable with my ipad 1G, I used iphone configuration utility to install it and it works fine, but now I cannot go back to itunes to sync, it says sync completes but never really sync anything
Anyway to help?

Apple Configurator vs. iPhone Configuration Utility

Hi,
I've been using iPhone Configuration Utility to create and upload profiles for an iPhone 4S. It hasn't been updated to support iOS 6, though the Windows equivalent has. I'm assuming that the reason for this is that Apple Configurator now assumes all the same functions of iPhone Configuration Utility. Can someone then confirm for me that, as far as creating profiles and uploading them to attached devices goes, Apple Configurator is just the same as iPhone Configuration Utility, only with support for the new features in iOS 6?

Hi Todd,
sorry for not responding sooner. I don't suppose you'd fancy walking me through the process of adding a new profile using Configurator? Let's assume just one iPhone 4S with no profiles currently installed, with the aim being: to install a profile (previously prepared in Configurator) adding a new calendar syncing service; and to make no other changes whatsoever.
Also, would you be able to sum up the ramifications of using Supervised mode? There are some Restrictions in Profiles that seem to only apply when supervision is turned on, but it seems Supervision does more than simply make them available.
Thanking you in advance.

Issue with iphone configuration utility: eap-tls certificate selection

hello,
I am a new Apple user so if there's anything obvious, please bear with me. I also tried to search in the forum but didn't find any solution.
here's my issue:
I use iphone configuration utility v2.1 for windows. I added 2 certificates(one user cert and one CA cert) under 'credentials'. then i configured one wifi network (eap-tls using the certificate i justed added). then i synced with my phone. everything worked fine so far. however, when I tried to connect to wifi, i got error and found out that iphone was using a certificate issued by IPCU CA instead of the certificate i uploaded.
this behavior could be corrected by manually change the certificate from wireless setting. however, this has to be done every time I try to connect to wireless network which is quite frustrated. a workaround is to email me the certificate and install it from iphone. but i can't install the CA certificate via this way.
i am wondering if anyone has similar issue and how to fix this.
thanks,
-ns

the configuration utility doesn't allow you to select the iPCU cert which is kind of a self signed by the software. you could only select the cert that you imported.
upgraded to ipcu ver 2.2 today and it seems to fix the problem. will monitor it for several days and report back.

Cannot turn off iMessage in IOS 5.1 with Iphone Configuration Utility 3.5

Summary:
When phones are upgraded to the new iOS 5.1 and if they either have a iPhone Configuration Utility (IPCU) template already in stalled or if you install a new one there is no way to successfully turn off iMessage. Used to work with iOS 5.0 by using IPCU and turning off 'Allow Facetime' and the end-user would no longer have facetime OR iMessage. Do the same in the IPCU and apply it to a iOS 5.1 device and the iMessage will still work and FaceTime. Take a 5.0 phone with the template already in stalled where iMessge and FaceTime do not work...then upgrade phone to iOS 5.1 and the iMessage comes back!
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a template in (unsigned) in IPCU and turn off 'Allow FaceTime'. Apply this template through the use of the IPCU to an iPhone with iOS 5.1. iMessage will NOT be disabled.
OR
Create a template in (unsigned) in IPCU and turn off 'Allow FaceTime'. Apply this template through the use of the IPCU to an iPhone with iOS 5.0. Then confirm iMessage is gone (not working or available) then upgrade teh iPhone to iOS 5.1 and you will see iMessage will NOT be disabled and is in proper working condition.
Expected Results:
By turning off the 'Allow FaceTime' in the IPCU this will and has in the past disabled and removed the FaceTime and iMessage Apps.
Actual Results:
By turning off the 'Allow FaceTime' feature in IPCU and loading it onto an iOS 5.1 iPhone the iMessge and FaceTime Apps still are there and work.
Regression:
We have been able to test and get the same results on the iPhone 4 and 4S for iOS 5.0 (works as promised) and then once upgraded to iOS 5.1 (doesn't work as promised)
We have tried using IPCU 3.4 and 3.5 FYI.
Anyone else see this issue?

This seems to be working for me now but will keep monitoring it the next couple of times I use it to make sure its not a one time thing

Issue with iPhone configuration utility

I installed the iPhone configuration utility, create a camera restriction profile and loaded to the iPhone. Later on I restored my pc. This process deleted all my program files including the utility. I reinstalled the utility but now I cannot delete the profile. I know it is my fault because I lost the profile information but what can i do now? I tried an iPhone restore using iTunes but it restored all the settings including the profile. Looks like all I have left to do is erase all data and treat it as a brand new iPhone. Is this my only option?

the configuration utility doesn't allow you to select the iPCU cert which is kind of a self signed by the software. you could only select the cert that you imported.
upgraded to ipcu ver 2.2 today and it seems to fix the problem. will monitor it for several days and report back.

Deploying iPads with iPhone Configuration Utility

We are trying to deploy some iPad2s into an enterprise environment. I have been able to push some settings like WiFi or remove Safari via iPhone Configuration Utility. However, we are needing to have one app installed (Prezi) from the App Store. I can't find a way to do this via the Configuration Utility, so I installed the app before applying the profile. One the profile is applied it hides the app on the homescreen. As soon as I remove the policy the app shows right back up. Is there a setting somewhere in the policy that is causing this?
On a related note, is there a better way to get the app installed automatically?

Reload with iPhone Configuration Utility

How can I reload an app on a iDevice via iPhone Configuration Utility, when I delete the app before, on the same device.

Get your iPhone Connected via WIFI
go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz (You will see an iPhone Formatted Website)
Choose Create APN
Choose United States
Choose Straight talk
Choose Create APN below the Carrier
This will set the APN Data Settings for Straighttalk.
This does not jailbreak or hack your iPhone in anyway and the website is used successfully by tens of thousands of people users per day all over the world. It uses the Same method as the iPhone Configuration Utility but some people find the iCU quite hard to use (or they don't know the settings/where to put the settings)

Multiple from e-mailaddresses / one account / iphone configuration utility

I trie to configure my e-mail account on my iphone. This works fine, when there is one e-mailaddress per account. But when I want to configure it to have multiple from-e-mailaddresses aka aliases I can choose to sent my mail from, there I stuck.
What I tried till now but without any success is
use the "name1 <[email protected]>, name2 <[email protected]>" syntax
leaf it blank and do it manually when the profile is installed, what works, but still just for one e-mailaddress
who could help?

thx for your answer
at the provider end every thing is configured the way it should
you know the way to configure other e-mail-addresses in iOS manually: Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > yourMailAccount > yourMailAccount > E-Mail yourEMailAddress
There you can put in your aliases, which enables you to select, from which address you send your e-mail from
the same thing you can do in Apple Mail, with the "name1 [email protected], name2 [email protected]" syntax entered in the Email Address field in Account Information in the preferences
But what to do, if you want to configure your iPhone with the iphone configuration utility?
if you leaf the from-address blank, you can enter just one address, the above mentioned syntax, that works for Apple Mail, doesn't
And the question for the super hero out there: How to do this in addition with certificates?

802.1x WEP & iPhone Configuration Utility

Hi All!!
I have just arrived back from our Easter vacation to find the school I work for has changed wireless from WPA-PSK to 802.1x WEP. It didn't take long for me to change my MacBook Pro over to the new settings, but we (our IT Guys and myself) are having great difficulties with the iPhone Configuration Utility and the resulting Profile file. A continuous error message of "Unable to join the network "School_Name"".
We have been using the same configurations for the iPhone in the Configuration Utility as we did for the MacBook Pro, but I keep having the feeling that we are missing something. I am a complete novice when it comes to this side of computing, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the preferences we have been using:
*_Network Prefs_* (Taken from MacBook Pro)
Network Name: School's SSID
Security: 802.1x WEP
User Name: Domain Login Name
Password: Domain Password
*_802.1x Prefs_* (Taken from MacBook Pro)
User Name: Domain Login Name
Password: Domain Password
Wireless Network: School's SSID
Authentication: TLS
TLS Certificate: VALID
*_iPhone Configuration Utility_*
We are little stuck as what to use for the Identifier under the General Tab in the iPhone Configuration Utility.
We have set the Security Type to WEP Enterprise with the EAP Type as TLS.
Under the Credentials Tab, we have generated a "School" certificate and a "User" certificate to be uploaded. These are the same type of certificates I have installed in my KeyChain on the MAcBook Pro.
The subsequent Profile which is generated is uploaded to the iPhone via email and is installed successfully. The profile shows that it is verified. But, no connection is made. The iPhone is not even showing up on the AIS Server log.
I hope that I have supplied enough information. If not, please ask for more.
Thanks in advance.
Rodger

Update your iPhone Configuration Utility.
There is a new option under "Security Type" Called "WEP Enterprise" This is 802.1X WEP.

Cannot install configuration profiles using iphone configuration utility, why?

I have several working configuration profiles, which I can distribute both via email and a website.
I'd like to install the profiles through the iPhone Configuration Utility, but I am not able to do so. The devices show up just fine in the list. When I choose the Configuration Profile tab and clicking the install-button on a profile (which will install fine via Email or website) in the list, nothing happens. Regardless of the device beeing out of the box, or activated via iTunes. What am I missing?
I have tried this on several iPad and iPad 2 devices with the latest (4.3.3) firmware installed.

Hi,
I have the same problem. After creating profile with only General tab being set up it is failing to install on my iPad.
Profile installation failed
The profile could not be added to device
Any suggestions?
I even erase all content and setting but that didn't help either.
The only alarming thing is that in my Certificate section I have red message:
"This certificate was signed by and untrusted issuer"
Can that effect installation?
If that is the case how to fixed it?
P.S. iPad was purchased from Apple Store.
Regards,

HT4839 the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6/2.2 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.

Hello.
the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.
It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:
failed to create an ipc port access is denied
Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.
I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?
I am using Windows XP SP3
I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.
I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.
I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.
Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)
I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?
THanks!!

Is the iPhone configuration utility borked?

I've downloaded the iPhone configuration utility and am trying to setup a generic configuration file so that ANY user on our network can download it and then be prompted to enter their username & password to set them up.
Seems it doesn't work that way, regardless of the admin guide PDF.
Under the Exchange tab, i've configured the Account Name, Exchange ActiveSync Host but when i leave the User and email address fields blank, then export the configuration file, when it's imported the first thing that it prompts for is a password. What good is a password if you have no username????
I created a new configuration file with my username/email address and imported that, it prompted me then for my password and it worked fine.
How can I create a generic configuration file that will prompt a user for their username and password (and have the server address and other options hard coded into the profile so they can't be changed)?
The admin guide seems at odds with the configuration utility, and contradicts it.
All advice appreciated
Cheers
Shane.

Hi,
You are using the Config Utility on a Windows PC, right? I've had the same phenomenon: Apparently, there's a bug in this version that doesn't create a proper config profile when you leave the Exchange Account name blank. (The Mac OS version does it properly.)
As a workaround, after exporting your profile from the Config Utility, open it with an XML editor (even Word will do), look for the Exchange Account Name key and string ("PayloadAccountName" I think it is), and delete them from the profile. When users install this modified profile, it should ask for the username as well.

Preparing for iPhone 6 - iPhone Configuration Utility

Hello, I've been tasked with drafting a configuration via the iPhone Configuration Utilty in preparation of our new corporate iPhone 6's landing in the next few days, Wi-Fi setup, Exchange Activesync etc. In addition I've also been asked to look into the feasibility and benefits of SCEP and S/MIME so was wondering whether someone could answer a few questions that I have;
1) Downloading of Apps to deploy via the profile
I'm a little confused as to how to download iOS app's onto our MAC Mini server and present them to the configuration utility. I understand that I need to import them via the add new application button in the top right of the utilty but in terms of actually preparing the app for import, I'm a little confused.
2) S/MIME
Does the iPhone Configuration Utility support a global S/MIME setup? By this I mean how does the device associate the user profile with the certificate and would the signing and encryption certificates need to be enterprise or user level?
3) SCEP
Is anyone using this method of distributing certicates to their iOS devices. If so what are the benefits and if known, outside of a CA and SCEP server, what infrastructure is required to allow it to function as an internal mechanism?
Looking forward to all your replies.
Thanks very much.

Perhaps I should have clarified;
Assuming that I can get iOS 5 installed on my iPhone 4 before leaving for my trip, will this allow me to transfer everything using the iCloud (music, contacts, email accounts, pictures, apps etc.) straight to my new iPhone 4S?

IPhone Configuration utility locked my phone now passcode doesn't work

Googled the heck out of this but haven't seen any posts even close to this problem.
I was testing the iPhone Configuration Utility, prior to deploying configurations to enterprise users. I modified the passcode settings to what i thought would be basic requirements.
I also created payloads for Restrictions, and Exchange ActiveSync, but haven't included in the post, since I am fairly certain they shouldn't have any impact to the issue.
Once I saved the profile, i deployed to my phone via email, and installed it on my device. It then locked, and will not accept the passcode that I was using before installing the "test" profile.
The only other screen that I made any change to, that refers to any sort of password/code, was in the General area:
I set a security password to control when the profile can be removed, but it is a password more than the simple four-digit that the phone appears to be looking for.
I can try 2 more times before the phone wipes, which isnt the end of the world thanks to iCloud, but I sure would like to know what happened....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Kevin

Thanks Bonesaw, I did connect the phone to the host running ICPU, but it was still looking for some unknown passcode. I ended up putting the phone in DFU mode as suggested by Kilt, and restored the phone. This is the first I've used the iPCU, but I would have been willing to bet the authentication password for the profile wouldnt affect the device passcode. I must have done something else wrong, so I will try it again and see what happens. Thanks for responding!
