The Blueprint appears to apply ok- copies of apps are assigned to my test iPad, the apps download etc. Erase all content and settings (just to be safe) Update iPad to latest iOS verion (9.2.1 at time of writing) My process of attempting to apply the blueprint to a single iPad: I don't have an MDM system, just trying to use AC2 to configure a bunch of iPads. I have a fairly basic setup- a single blueprint, with a single profile and around 20 apps (via VPP). Like many of you, AC2 is driving me insane. If you download an app from iTunes, AC2 treats this as a 'personal app' and requires the same Apple ID used in iTunes on each iPad as well.Ĭharles Edge has put together a complete guide to using AC2 which should answer a number of your questions.

Has taken me two days to get it to work with no errors.You shouldn't be using iTunes IPA files with AC2, you should be buying the free apps from VPP choosing 'managed distribution' why you may ask.? Has taken me two days to get it to work with no errors. This way has worked for me every time, so I am going to keep it as it is. I tried all manor of different ways and trying to get into one BluePrint, and it would not work at all for me. But I would forget the order so wanted it set out like a workflow and in order. Obviously most of these can be done manually. Simply download from iTunes and point configurator to pick them up from the Music Folder - iTunes - iTunes Media - Mobile Applications. The new way of using the Apple ID will be great for VPP, but I'm installing mostly free Apps.

Something I did notice was that it was a lot easier to install Apps from the Mac using the IPA files. Just that I am now moving to Profile Manager as Meraki will not support the locking down of Passcode and Wallpaper which is important I get configured. Or use the MDM URL on supervision to configure this. I would imagine you could at this stage install Meraki Profile as well. Add it to my iPad group so that it then picks up the Restrictions. Once all these are complete I then manually install the Trust Profile that is from my Profile Manager and then after this is complete I install the Enrollment Profile. Once the loader on iPad has stopped would then go down to to the next Blueprint. Once created I would run through each Blueprint in order. So that number increases each time.Ġ5 - Apps/Profiles -> Here is all my Apps to install, along with WiFi Profile, Wallpapers, Tags. Supervised to my Organisation with what I wanted skipped.Ġ4 - Rename -> Here is just renaming iPad using my naming convention. Adding Master backup.Ġ3 - Supervise -> Here I added Prepare info.

I then ordered them in the folders required and completed a Backup.Ġ1 - Upgrade -> here is simply target iPad, update to latest OS.Ġ2 - Restore -> Here is just Restore from Backup. Updated it to latest iOS, Supervised it and installed all Apps required. So I now have 5 Blueprints that are Numbered and each do something different but in order.įirstly I created my Master. Instead of Backing up Masters why can't there be an option to have a template for apps and folders?Īnyway.the only way I have got this to work is to treat the Blueprints as a Workflow. Looks promising from last version, and love the idea of Blueprints! but still not exactly there in terms of helping us Techs out. I too have issues with getting Configurator 2.1 to work. I did try on iPad 2, iPad Air and iPad 4. Same blueprint can be used on different iPads. After the iPad’s are restored, I would go to Actions - Add - Profiles. I did not add a profile to the blueprint. I just don’t have time to test it out, the above steps are working fine for me. I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work without it.

I haven’t tried without this option, but after applying this blueprint I would get an error message (see the image below), and I click Stop on the message and the iPad is successfully restored. Go to Actions and select Modify - Wallpaper (if you are have set up one already). īrowse for the backup of your master iPad and click OK. Go to Actions and select Restore from Backup. Click on New and highlight the new blueprint.ĭouble click on the new blueprint and add the apps you had already installed on your master iPad. Go to Blueprints and select Edit Blueprints. Once your master iPad is ready, select Backup.
