+11Is this a stupid question? Is there a way to install configuration profiles via a policy. I want to map some drives via configuration policy, but I want them to happen at a certain time and date. Is there a way to deploy them via a policy? If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know. If not, would anyone else see a value in it, should it be a feature request.
Thanks!

The best thing to do would be to pkg up the profiles and then have a postinall script run that installs them on the machine. I've done this with quite a few configuration profiles. The postinstall script would just be something like:
/usr/bin/profiles -I -F /private/tmp/profile.mobileconfig
You could then add the pkg to your jss/jds and run this as a regular policy. Hope this helps.

+18This is exactly how I do it (packages with postflight scripts to install). I strongly recommend putting a little time into learning Iceberg or something similar if you haven't already, since packaging everything you do gives you a ton of flexibility and control.
+21I'd recommend just using pkgbuild for something like this. You could even look at luggage which is what I use for most of my pkg builds.
