Download Configuration Profile

[Mahmod Ohner]

Ifigured it out, albeit a different way than I'm used to. I just connected wireless via Apple Configurator 2 and dragged-and-dropped it into the Apple TV 4K device. This should be helpful to those, like me, who are creatures of habit and tend to stick to the same method.

managed to get it to show up as paired devices but wouldent show in all devices. as there are no betas at the moment w. Thanks for help.ill wait till a new one comes out and hopefully it will give full instructons. Thanks for help, busy installing high sierra at the moment. (proberley be a new beta update out for all os's this week or earley next.)

Review this video which starts the relevant conversation at 05:49 (iPhone wireless connectivity). At 06:54, it talks about connecting to the Apple TV wirelessly. after watching the short segment I needed, it was just exactly how he stated it...very easy. I'm sure we are on the same beta, so it should work for you. Give it a shot!

Thanks very Much managed to get it link up..? dont think till i get a 2nd unit i will risk putting betas on this unit will stick with betas running on my apple tv 4.but I realy appretaited your help on this.

Now my problem is the beta won't install. It downloads, trys installing and at the end says it was not successful. And then says "To restart your Apple TV and try again, got to Settings > System and choose Restart. I have done this twice and it still will not install.

I tried this and it doesn't work for me. I'm having a real problem getting the profile installed. The device shows up as an installed device but I can't make any changes. Both XCode and Configurator seem to work OK, but have no effect on the Apple TV 4K. I sure miss that USB port. Why the **** did Apple remove it?

I tried to rollback firmware on TVOS (15->14). First connected with xcode then with configurater2. Rollback does not work because I got error tvos can not set back connect with usb. Usb is not possible on latest apple tv. So now how to proceed? I think it is not possible to rollback on apple tv 4k 2021.

I know one way to complete this if you have a single station you to need to re-apply a configuration profile to. You can add the station to the exclusion list under the scope. When the station next checks in Casper should pull that configuration profile from the station. To re-apply, you remove the exclusion and have the station check-in again.

I've run in to this same problem. I wish they handled the profiles more like other policies where you could just delete it from the log and it would re-run it. Or even if you could go in to a specific computer's management tab and re-push a profile.

Adding user to exclusion and then removing them isn't good option for us as we're talking about security settings in the profiles going out to students. Excluding them from these security settings, even temporarily, isn't an option. I've taken to editing profile again, distributing it to all, and there are still failures (5%?) but not the same machines so inevitably, I guess, the machines all get it.

@gachowski the problem when re-pushing an existing profile (in my case) is it isn't 'missing' as far as JAMF is concerned, so re-pushing never happens. Fingers crossed on that other feature request (I mentioned my use case in there, too).

Hi I know this isnt a complete answer but if you are pushing out profiles with say "Energy settings" and your first push fails on some macs for some reason etc just edit the Energy start up time by a minute or edit another simple innocuous change in a payload and you can push all the settings out again and see if they all deploy.

I have encountered issues where a Configuration Profile says it has been applied but not 100% on the client. Example is a Screensaver Config Profile (askForPassword=1, idleTime=1200, askForPasswordDelay=0) that does not apply the askForPassword setting. Taking the computer out of the Scope of the Profile and then putting it back in does not apply the setting, so aside from removing the profile I have no options. Worst part is that the log says it was Completed and unless I manually verify I would never know the profile was not working 100%.

Now this could be an specific issue related to OS X Sierra as Apple has made some major changes which could have affected the ability for JAMF to work properly or at all. I have along list of things that do not work via the JSS with my Macs and have had to do a patchwork of JSS, User Templates and scripts to get the Macs consistently working just so I can put them out in the field with relative confidence in them.

If you need to ensure specific settings are in place and can not be modified by the user, then why not create an extension attribute that runs a script determining if all those settings are correct and scope the configuration profile to the result of that extension attribute?

For example, if the need to ensure Screensaver settings are set like @Cornoir mentions, then have a script that determines the values for each setting are true and push the config profile down if not.

Although iOS configuration profiles have long been a security concern for iPhones containing corporate data, advancements in mobile device management and the iOS operating system are easing some of those concerns and keeping configuration profile iPhones safe.

An iPhone configuration profile is an XML file that enables users to load settings and permissions onto an Apple device. In BYOD scenarios, configuration profiles define settings for using devices on corporate networks.

Organizations can create them by using Apple Configurator or a mobile device management (MDM) platform. Deleting an iPhone configuration profile removes all the settings, passcodes, apps and data associated with the profile, thus rendering corporate systems, such as email, CRM applications or other back-end business systems, inaccessible to the device.

While configuration profiles are a useful tool, IT administrators might question whether they present some security vulnerabilities for iPhones in the enterprise. To decide how configuration profiles should fit into a mobile security strategy, it's important to understand how they fit into the landscape of iOS threats.

Attacks on configuration profiles gained notoriety before the prevalence of MDM platforms in enterprise organizations today. Today's MDM systems provision and secure configuration profiles, locking them down from unauthorized users throughout the mobile device lifecycle. Additionally, advancements in email security policies stand guard against emails bearing malicious configuration profiles sent as part of phishing emails.

As such, many security analysts see the threat of malicious attacks on a configuration profile as nothing more than an inconvenience. That doesn't mean IT should ignore this attack vector entirely -- there's always the possibility the configuration profile might play a part in some future iOS attack. There are no guarantees. Still, this shift goes to show the growing power and effectiveness of professionally managed MDM policies and native security features.

It's important to audit the security of all devices that have access to Google Workspace, Slack and other SaaS back-end systems. Data containerization -- separating corporate data from personal data on BYOD units -- should be a standard security practice on personally owned devices, giving an MDM platform full governance and security controls over corporate resource access.

Containerization is built into iOS, and Apple User Enrollment offers even clearer separation of work and personal data for BYOD iPhones. Additionally, organizations can consider MDM providers, such as Jamf and Kandji, for extra support in managing corporate-owned and BYOD endpoints. Jamf Pro, for example, focuses strictly on Apple device security and enables IT to create a standard configuration profile for corporate-owned and BYOD iPhones.

Today's MDM platforms manage and secure configuration profiles starting at device onboarding. Consequently, if a malicious attack on an MDM platform-managed device targeting a configuration profile were to occur, the configuration profile would become locked down and immovable. While attacks evolve, removing a configuration profile on a managed device effectively locks it out of corporate resources, keeping the organization's data safe from the attacker.

In addition to implementing MDM, IT teams should be aware of the iOS 16 features they can utilize to improve security on corporate iPhones. An email feature called Brand Indicators for Message Identification, or BIMI, enables the identification of authenticated emails and could serve as an additional tool in the future to alert users to potential phishing emails. Rapid Security Response is another useful feature, which enables admins to automatically deliver essential security improvements to their iOS devices between scheduled software updates.

Another new feature in iOS 16 is Lockdown Mode, an extreme security measure designed for users who may fall victim to nation-states and other sophisticated attackers. Lockdown Mode reduces an iPhone's attack surface from sophisticated spyware and strictly limits access to apps, websites and phone features, such as the configuration profile. This setting prevents installing a new configuration profile or enrolling the device in another MDM system. Nothing stops businesses and government agencies from mandating their employees use this mode if their travels take them to certain parts of the world.
