Is there way to restrict a specific app using profile manager?

I want to restrict a specific app, in this case boot camp assistant, from being able to launch or run for users. I noticed that in the restriction payload section on the Mac Server that you could prevent apps, that are at a specific location, from being used but you cannot seem to pinpoint one particular app instead of all apps in the folder. Does anyone know how to segregate and restrict a specific app?

No you can not. But you can diable all the installed apps, and keep only the default available.
For this do as follow:
Go to setting
General
Restrictions
Apps
Click on Don't allow apps.
(applicable for 6.1.3)
It is strange that after spending for the best phone in the market, we are begging for locking software! Apple is sleeping!
If any one knows the better way then post it.

  • Is there way to remove the bar you use to move a JFrame?

    Is there way to remove the bar you use to move a JFrame? I don't want it there for several reasons, if you want, I will give more detail.

    I have seen a couple of posts in this forum suggesting to use a JWindow. Well, I can't get a JWindow to work. Here is the sample program I used.
    a) Without doing anything type "aaa"
    b) use tab key and then enter "bbb"
    c) click on text field then enter "ccc"
    d) use tab key
    e) click on Dos window and use Ctrl-C to kill application
    1) What is wrong with the Focus Manager. No caret is displayed in the text field or no 'rectangle' around the button.
    2) Why is 'aaa' displayed on the Dos window when you kill the application?
    3) I have seen a JWindow used in the JDK1.3 SwingSet2 demo, but it is only used to contain an image. Is a JWindow not meant to be used with other components?
    Any comments would be appreciated.

  • HT5188 Can I use Profile Manager to deploy paid Apps?

    Can I import VPP codes and push the apps to the ipads without user interaction?

    No, some user interaction will be required. With any MDM they will have to accept the app.
    While we use the term push, the user has to accept all App installations on the device. They will have to touch install. Please read below from:
    http://krypted.com/iphone/configuring-using-profile-manager-2-in-os-x-mountain-l ion-server/
    " This brings up an interesting limitation of how Profile Manager interacts with the App Store. It kinda’ doesn’t. If I were pushing apps to elementary school iPads in a 1:1 I could either use Apple Configurator (if I wanted to burn up a VPP code per student per year) or I could use iTunes (if I wanted a labor intensive process of restoring an iPad per computer rather than a parallel process). But either way, I’m gonna’ stay away from Profile Manager for apps.
    So if you push an app to a device and the user taps on the app and the screen goes black then make sure the app is owned by the AppleID signed into the device. If it is, have the user open App Store and update any other app and see if the app then opens."

  • Failing to push out apps via profile manager

    Hi,
    Been helping out at a school where they have bought 90 iPads for their kids to use - after weeks of frustrations they were all finally enrolled on the mac server (runs OS X Yosemite). Thought I had finally managed to help them finish it off but now when they try too push out apps from profile manager they're having an issue.
    The devices are grouped in groups of 30 and when I tried too push out an app to them (Scratch Jr, if that makes any difference at all) it would only push out to 14 of the iPads in the group - with varying degrees of success. The room there kept in doesn't have a great signal from their wi-fi so I thought it might have something to do with that but when I tried to push out another app (PhotoMath) it got pushed out to all the iPads in the group, again with varying degrees of success.
    Essentially I have 2 problems - Why would the server only push out to some iPads for some apps but then suddenly find them all when pushing out an another? And why would some iPads not even pick up the app? Even when, in the active tasks, it says app deployment has been successful? The school have had these iPads since September and have only been able to use them sparingly - so to say they're dead keen would be an understatement.
    I hope I'm making sense - please help! I've checked the logs from the server but I'd be lying if I said I could understand that stuff...
    Thank you.

    I'm not familiar with LANDesk, but ARD will allow you to push files to remote Macs as specify their locations.
    So if everybody need a particluar font on their computer, you could push it to /Library/Fonts on all of your Macs. You can also remotely install packages. This is useful if your deploying a something like Adobe CS5 to a bunch of workstations.

  • Remove app from Profile Manager

    hello there,
    Having set up my Lion Server with several users, I was testing the pushing of apps. It works just flawless.
    But after playing I wanted to delete all the test apps I uploaded.
    I can't find any option to delete them. Only a link on internet to delete it in the database.
    Weird, one should be able to delete something?
    Even, when I upload my first App, and then one day later the same App, but a newer file, still the old date of the first upload is in the App list.
    Do I miss something?
    Please helpme!

  • Distribute Apps in Profile Manager

    Updated to Lion Server OS X 10.7.2 on my MacMini (4GB RAM).
    Setup a Device Group to Distribute an App as a test. Sent out both a commercial app (Keynote) and a free app (FirstClass Mobile).
    The iPads received the apps, but neither worked. On the iPad, when I attempted to launch the app, the screen would flash and nothing would happen.
    So is this new feature a 'tease' which doesn't work, or how do you get this to work?

    I found in the documenation that the apps push only works for internally devleoped applications not apps from the market.
    You can install and remove in-house iOS apps on managed devices.
    In Profile Manager's Library, select a device or user, or a group.
    Select the user, device, or group you want to modify from the list.
    Click the Action (gear) button, then choose Edit Apps from the pop-up menu.
    You can:
    Upload an app to Profile Manager:
    Click upload, then choose an .ipa file. You must select an app archive that has been created for enterprise distribution.Uploading the app to Profile Manager makes it available for you to add to other users, devices, and groups.
    Send an app to a device:
    Click the Add button next to an app. Make sure that the app's provisioning profile authorizes the device to use the app, or the app will not install.
    Remove an app from a device:
    Click the Remove button next to an app. The app and all of its data will be removed from the device. You can only remove apps you've previously added to the device using Profile Manager."

  • Managed App Configuration using Profile Manager

    Hello,
    We're using Profile Manager as the MDM server of our iPads. Everything works fine except that recently we want to manage some app configurations through MDM, but were unable to find the Managed App Configuration settings from Profile Manager.
    May I know if Profile Manager supports Managed App Configuration for iOS?
    Thanks,
    Jacky

    We are not running it yet but I am believe that when you setup a user in airwatch or another MDM and you install the agent on a device the user has to authenticate with AD creds, so then you can configure it to pull a cert from your SCEP server using those creds and it will then pull a user cert. instead of a generic certificate. Obviously that is a pretty dumbed down explination but in a nutshell that is how it is going to work.

  • OSX Apps in Profile Manager

    I've been using Profile Manager to great success to deploy dozens of  different iOS apps to 500+ ipads.
    I've started importing OSX iMac into it and researching how to manage them.  It does settings well, but why no apps?  Anyway to get it to do apps like the ipads do?
    All iMacs are running the most current version of Mavericks.

  • Push config files made in Server app with Profile manager

  • Managing Dock Apps via Profile Manager

    I'm trying to create a payload with specific apps in the dock. It seems the only apps I have available to choose from are the ones installed on the server running the profile manager service. For example, in order to put Firefox in the dock I had to install it on the server. Once I did that it showed up as an option to add to the dock. I hope there is another way that I am missing. Seems a bit silly to have to install software on the server for the sole purpose of being able to add it to the dock. Anyone know of another way to do it?
    I realize I can still use WGM to set the dock and select apps from the machine I'm running WGM on, just trying to figure out the Profile Manager aspect.

  • Push one new app and Profile Manager resends them all; turn this off?

    I manage the ipads for a medium sized school district. We're using Apple Configurator on Maverics to manage about 700 ipads most of which have been updated to iOS7 and supervised manually through the mini that functions as our MDM and server.
    So average day: a teacher requests a new app to be pushed out to the 30 ipads that are in one of the shared ipad carts. I have all the ipads in a device group in profile manager, so I go out to itunes, download the app, upload it to profile manager and add it to the device group, hit save, and I can see that a new active task has begun pushing that app out to all the devices in the cart.
    The active task used to just say "Push Apps to [device group] 30 of 30 in progress: [#] succeded" 30 copies of an app, one for each of 30 devices. Totally normal.
    Now since the update to iOS7/Maverics when I send one app to one cart configurator is erasing EVERY app on that cart and resending them ALL. So now the active task in the same situation looks like "Push apps to [device group] __ of 538; [#] succeded." Where the 538 is the total number of apps on all 30 ipads.
    As you can imagine this is a bit of a mess. Not only does it bring the mac server to its knees, but it makes the ipads in question useless until the apps have all redownloaded-- which can take hours, if not days, depending on other network traffic. At the very least with iOS7 one doesn't have to hit "confrim" on each app install, but still, small consolation there.
    Is there a way to turn this weird behavior off? Are other people experiencing this? Is it just a horrible bug that someone is planning to fix very soon?

  • Disallow app access to Calendar and Contacts by app in Profile Manager

    Is there a method to disallow app access to Calendar and Contacts by app within a profile and push that out via Profile Manager?
    I'm aware that you can do this on the device itself but I'd like to enforce policy.
    I'm guessing I'd need a custom profile.
    Thanks

    Create a profile that contains an Restrictions profile and add thoase apps to the list of app you want to restrict.
