Private, enterprise deployment + updating of iBooks, pdf's ... via app, or Profile Manager

Hello,
We wrote our own iBooks and PDF's for an internal, enterprise deployment. We need to distribute them to iPad users and then manage them (updates, etc.). Due to the content, there is no need and little desire to make them publically accessible (post on a webpage, use Drobox, Box, etc.). We could put them on smartcard or password controlled site. They are quite large so emailing them is a pain. In these later cases, it then requires the user to manually download the file, then when an update comes along, delete the old and download the new (a big pain). It would be best to do this automatically at night.
We're using MacOS Server Profile Manager for our MDM, which can push self-created apps & webclips but not iBooks and pdfs. It would be great if PM could add/delete/update iBooks & PDFs iOS iBooks app ... like it can with apps & webclips.
Until then, what's the solution to manage senstive iBooks & PDFs?
Create one (or more) apps the we self-publish & distribute that contains the iBooks and PDF files? Then update the very large app?
Thanks,
K

What about using a WebDav? Download a 3rd party WebDav APP and go to the following URL on your server:
https://subdoamin.yourdomain.com/webdav/
You do have to enable the share for WebDav to do this in server app but it works great. We use it for iWork and pdf documents.
Thanks,
ebrind

How do i add more than one pdf at a time to profile manager books

How do I add more than one pdf at a time to profile manager books? When I browse to my pdf folder I can only select one pdf at a time. I have 500+ pdf files I need to add. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They were in the CC of the email I received. is there anyway to drag them all into an address book group all at once. I hate having to add and address and then having to find the address and then add it to a group. thanks
no, there is no way to do that, sorry. you need to control-click on every email address one at a time and select "add to address book". if an email is in the address book already that option will not be there.

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

Update 3.1.1 external calendar issues (and profile manager)

So I did the 3.1.1 update and now I am of course regretting it. I am having the non functional profile manager issue but, more importantly my calendar server is not communicating to any of the devices outside the network. I have a firewall in place so the question is did apple add a port to this update? I ran wireshark and couldn't find anything new.
Help!

How long between syncing?
This link provides the data included with the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you received or placed a call, the same for SMS/MMS, used Safari, made any changes to contact info and calendar events, there were changes to the data included with your iPhone's backup. If there were no changes to any of the data included with your iPhone's backup since the last sync, your iPhone's backup wouldn't be updated.
Does your iPhone's Camera Roll include a number of photos that haven't been imported by your computer followed by being deleted from the Camera Roll, or have been imported but not removed from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete?
2. The other symptom I've noticed (that commenced with the prior OS version) is that the phone is hesitating sometimes and won't respond for up to a minute to screen inputs-- seems to be preoccupied with some task it wasn't doing before.
Any change after powering your iPhone off and on and/or after doing an iPhone reset when this occurs?

Can I use my G5's DVD drive, to update my non-DVD iBook's OS via network?

Okay, here is the thing, I recently erased my old iBook's HD for a clean start. And I want to update its OS back to what it was. The problem is, to get it back to speed I would need a DVD reader in it for it to work with my 10.4 updater disc. My iBook does not have DVD capability.
I was wondering, how could I run the installer/updater from my Dual 2.7 Power PC G5's DVD ROM for it to update my iBook's OS via an ethernet network.
I have very little experience setting up a network, but I have managed to get the basics down. Thanks to the help of some basic how-to websites, I was able to link my computers up to drop files into each others' drop boxes. So, I have that much basic knowledge. But how do I use one computers DVD-rom drive to update my non-DVD-ROM iBook's OS from the updater DVD? It seems possible to me; almost as if I were using an external DVD-rom. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Scroto Saggins;
I think you will have much better luck with Target Disk Mode rather then using the network.

Why is the Profile Manager web portal inaccessible after update to 3.2.1 ?

We run the Profile Manager in OS X as an MDM. We also use the Device Enrollment Program.
After updating to 3.2.1, the web portal for Profile Manager became inaccessible, and DEP checkbox in Profile Manager became unchecked.
I've attempted to re-enroll in the DEP, but it always rejects the Token I give.
I don't know if the two problems are related or not.
Does anyone have a solution?
This is the log from the Profile Manager Service Log when I attempt to log in to the Profile Manager portal.

Adobe Reader XI enterprise deploy-disable display PDF in browser?

There appears to be conflicting information about Adobe Reader XI and how to pre-configure the "disable display pdf in browser".
The Enterprise Administration Kit/Guide says you can do this via the MSI Property:
DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION = YES
However, acrobat help, indicates you can ONLY do this manually via individual browser add-ons.
I have the redestributable version from Adobe and I used the Enterprise Guide to make the AIP and used the Customization Wizard to create the package and am using the properties line when the msi is installed to disable the display
so which one is right?

I am out of the office until 1/22/13.

Acrobat 9.1 Group Policy Enterprise Deployment

Hey there,
I'm wondering how to properly create an msi based on the new security update for enterprise deployment via gpo.
i found an acrobat 8 doc that specified: msiexec /a "\\network computer\Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional\AcroPro.msi" /p "\\network computer\Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional\security update\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp"
but this simply updated and extracted all files...
i'm not overly familiar with packaging acrobat so any help would be great.
even better would be an acrobat 9.1 full msi :)
thanks

One thing to note: Make sure you apply ALL .msp patches to the admin in the correct order!
i.e. You can't just jump to the 9.1.2 patch as they are all INCREMENTAL and have a weird schedule! Sucks, but somehow it makes sense to Adobe. The scheduling and it's explanation can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html
So, the methodology is:
Make an admin install using the /a switch from msiexec
Expand the patch file from the source to the network share in the correct order, one by one using the /p switch of msiexec, 9.1.0 first then 9.1.2
Create your .mst file via the Customization Wizard
Create your GPO referencing the gpo_ad doc here ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/gpo_ad_9.pdf )
Enjoy!

Can't open my book in progress (an ibooks author file) after updating to ibooks author v1.1. Help!

I've been working on an ibook in author now for 2 months. I've had some upds and downs with the format, but finally have a product that's close to finished. I updated my ibooks author software to 1.1 yesterday and now I can't open my file. Please help!!!!

The only people who can read your book in .ibooks format are people with an iPad, and an iPad cannot read a dvd. So you should probably export it as .pdf.

What is your need to upgrade to Leopard? So you can sync to iPhone, iPad, etc?
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

Enterprise deployment of Flash Builder 4, how?

What sources or tools are available to aid in enterprise deployment of Flash Builder 4? I need to create a 100% silent, 100% no touch installation and uninstallation. I'd rather not capture it into a MSI. I'm finding nothing on how to automate the installer at all.
I'd like some customization along with just how to do the actual install. For example, being able to NOT install Adobe AIR, Flash Plugin/ActiveX and the accompanying Microsoft VC items or selectively installing them. In our environment, EVERYTHING is layered - no application installs other vendor installs. This simplifies managing and updating them. When a user requests a application, all pre-reqs are installed and the actual app only installs if they all completed.
Thanks,

For the path to your own copy of eclipse, if the link file isn't created automatically in silent mode, you could fix that quickly afterwards by copying the link file (either manually or with a script) from the bundled eclipse dropins folder into your own copy of eclipse.
Regarding silent deployment of volume SNs for FB4 Plug-in, we've been working up some documentation for that. Here's the approach, if anyone needs it.
Phase 1: Package the RIBS subinstaller (STIWrapper) for network deployment
first, install FB4 Plug-in normally (interactively) once locally, to obtain the embedded subinstaller here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in\install.support\AdobeFlashBuilderPluginSTIWrapperWin
that STIWrapper normally gets run automatically and silently by InstallAnywhere. Because it’s in CS Installer format, an enterprise deployment engineer can use Adobe’s regular CS5 Enterprise Deployment tools to configure it for embedding a volume SN.
when configuring the STIWrapper for Enterprise Deployment, the install path needs to go all the way down to the bundled Eclipse folder. For example that will be here by default: <Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in\eclipse</Property>
docs and downloads for Adobe's Enterprise Deployment tools are available here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
Phase 2: Deploying FB4 Plug-in to End Users
Before deploying, it’s important that any previously installed versions of FB4 Plug-in and its STIWrapper have been uninstalled. Generally, the Plug-in uninstaller will uninstall the STIWrapper automatically, but for more robust deployments, the enterprise engineer may want to automate a prerequisite step of uninstalling both FB4 and its STIWrapper.
Next, the silent installers need to be deployed in this order:
install the STIWrapper first, using the CS5 Deployment Toolkit
run the regular InstallAnywhere FB4 Plug-in installer silently.
To run the Plug-in installer silently, you can either use the "FB4_Plugin_Win_Installer.exe -i silent" syntax in your deployment scripts, or else place a new file named installer.properties right next to FB4_Plugin_Win_Installer.exe, in the same VM folder, and include this line in that file:
INSTALLER_UI=silent
Important: in step 2 above you need to run the extracted FB4 Plug-in installer, using the same folder tree format found on the DVD, not the self-extracting ESD archive named FlashBuilder_4_Plugin_LS1.exe.
Alternatively, if you only have the ESD exe named FlashBuilder_4_Plugin_LS1.exe, and don’t have the FB 4.0.1 DVD available, you can obtain the same folder tree by running the plug-in installer interactively on a local machine. Cancel the installation right after it finishes with the part that says “...downloaded files are being extracted.” Locate the full plugin installer tree from your Temp folder, normally here: [yourHomeFolder]\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plugin\
Post this extracted folder (from the DVD or from the Temp folder) to a convenient share on your network and then use it for Step 2 above.
Note that this will only work fully on Win, because InstallAnywhere doesn’t support silent deployments on OS X. You could still use Step 1 on OS X to deploy a Volume SN the same way, but Step 2 would involve running the Plug-in installer interactively on OS X.
If you try out this approach, please let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
-Chris
