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,

Using iPhone configuration utility to protect it from cracking

As most of you know, it is possible to use this tool to allow the iPhone to use a longer and safer alphanumeric password to keep it safe, also, it give s the user the possibility to erase ALL of the data after a certain numebr of failed attemps.
My question comes from this: there is a tool from Elcomsoft which allows the user to break the password and gain access to all of the data stored in the device. Is the configuration utility capable of protecting an iPhone with a custom security profile (long alphanumeric password + erasing all of the data after 5 failed attempts) in case it's stolen and someone tries to break into i by using the tool?

I too would like to see this added into the config utility...

I want to run whatsapp on my ipod can i use iphone configuration utility for this

PLze tell can i do it

Hey Abhi 18, Sorry-- I'm out of touch. Was not aware of the method of using an iPhone as a hat. I watched the link Illaass supplied, a little work, but it appears to work. Is it safe? I can't answer that, haven't done it, so I don't know. But I would think Illaass would not have given the link if it were not. Cheers.

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.

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.

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?

IPhone Configuration Utility: how to override tethering APN

My carrier, Swisscom, offers a product called "Corporate Application Access" (CAA) which essentially allows you to use a different GPRS APN (corporate.swisscom.ch instead of gprs.swisscom.ch), assigning you a public IP address (instead of a private NATed one). I need this for a specific kind of VPN.
Using iPhone Configuration Utility I was able to change the APN to corporate.swisscom.ch, and indeed I see the iPhone surfing the Internet using the public IP. I can even ping the iPhone from outside while on 3G, never saw that before :-). Also, my VPN works.
Unfortunately, when I enable tethering using the Personal Hotspot feature, the iPhone falls back to the default APN gprs.swisscom.ch, and still gets a private IP. As you may have guessed, my VPN doesn't work. I have already tried resetting network settings, and even tried a different iPhone (a 3GS instead of a 4, but both running iOS 4.3.3).
For some reason I think Apple may have blocked overriding the tethering APN, in order to avoid users living in countries where tethering is a paid add-on to overcome the limitation by changing the tethering APN to the regular data APN.
While I understand these reasons, I still need to have my Personal Hotspot work using the correct corporate.swisscom.ch APN. Otherwise I'd have to purchase a separate data card with a separate subscription just to access the VPN from my laptop, which doesn't make much sense.
Has anyone ever had this problem, and even better, solved it?
Thank you :-)

There are two ways, both unofficial I'm afraid...
Jail brake would be the first one - there are apps in the special store to override Apple scarce settings...
Or my personal choice - an Android phone ... Google is less paranoid about users free will (go figure)
Works on my oold Nokia N958GB, and my Galaxy Nexus... while iPhone 4S sits on a shelf, pried open, lifeless without a sim... why have you crippled me ow maker ;-(
Good to know Apple doesn't reed this

I need instructions on creating a configuration profile to turn off the Deleting Apps button on an iPad using the iPhone Configuration Utility, please.

The deleting apps restriction is new in iOS 6 but is available only on supervised devices. You can supervise devices and create and install a configuration profile containing this restriction using Apple Configurator.

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!

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.
Have Fun

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?

IPhone configuration utility for IOS 4

How can we use the new restrictions and features in IOS 4 to create iPhone XML profile ? Does iPhone configuration utility 2.2 can include new restrictions or is there a way do it by manually configuring the Apple.xml file?

I wonder about the same! Where is the Configuration Utility supporting all the promised new features like the Mobile Device Manamgent and Wireless App Distribution? And why is nobody else asking for these essential features for a real deep enterprise integration and lifecycle management?!?

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?
