This workshop covers the integration of Windows Server 2012 R2 and OS X Server. It will include basic fundamentals of DNS, and how Active Directory is integrated with Open Directory and Profile Manager to manage users and groups in a mixed Windows/Mac Environment.
After covering how to configure Open Directory and Profile Manager, attendees will learn how to configure pay loads for pushing out printers, network shares, restrictions and more, and how to enrol devices such as iPads and MacBooks into Profile Manager. We will also touch on the Apple Configurator supervision process.
Finally, there will be an introduction to the VPP and how to deploy VPP Apps via Profile Manager on iPads.
