Regional User Conference - San Francisco
Overview
Please join us for a day of sessions highlighting Apple and JAMF Software technologies, and techniques for their adoption in the enterprise. If you're familiar with our yearly National User Conference, this single-day event will feature abbreviated versions of some of the best presentations from that event. In addition, members of the JAMF Software user community in your area will be presenting, sharing their knowledge and discussing best practices.
All user conferences are free and open to users of JAMF Software technology (Casper Suite, Recon Suite, Imaging Suite and Composer), our partner community, and anyone committed to the success of the Apple platform.
This is a crucial time in the evolution of Mac and iOS devices in the enterprise and we have reached a day that many have long hoped would arrive. Now that the Apple platform is experiencing widespread growth and acceptance, we are committed to help ensure that IT administrators have the knowledge and tools they need to help their peers and organizations succeed with the Apple platform.

Configuration Profiles for Lion with the JSS

Ben Graham, JAMF Software
Upper Level Lounge 1:00 - 2:00 PM Back to top -
Description
With the release of Apple's OS X Lion operating system came a new tool for the management of settings on your Lion computers. Configuration Profiles leverage many of the same frameworks and methods used in iOS mobile device management, applying them to your OS X clients. Using these same frameworks, JAMF Software has incorporated the ability to use Configuration Profiles to manage your OS X Lion computers from your JSS. In this session, we will explore how this new functionality can be implemented using your JSS, the benefits of Configuration Profiles over previous settings management tools, and explore some of the specific uses for Configuration Profiles.

Since the release of the first iPhone, iOS devices have seen an ever-growing presence in enterprise organizations. As the number of iOS devices in an organization increases, IT needs the ability to ensure the necessary applications or "Apps" are available so that end users can accomplish their goals.
