Chris, this is amazing! Thanks for this documentation.

While not directly related to a 1:1, I've seen some schools mention that for faculty/staff they purchase the white iPads , students get the black ones.
Makes it easy to identify if a student is in possession of a staff/faculty device.

Food for thought...

Hi,
I am working on iPads :)
and I know (Chris S) you talked about this (x27) in your presentation:

Packaged mobile apps in local admin account: /Users/KTMScart/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/
and a couple other files

I have a 2 part Self Service policy which is

1. Creating the local profile /KTMScart
2. Adding the package of iPad apps into that specific Profile (FEU and FUT both OFF)

When it installs, the profile is created correctly, but the files installed by the package in the second part have incorrect permissions:
Owner is _unknown instead of "KTMScart"

I think the issue is that on my original profile the account is 502
and when the account is created on my "test" target, is gets 501
even though the username is the same.

What's the easiest/best way to correct this?

I can manually propagate permissions, but am looking for a way to do so in the policy or to fix the problem outright.
I'll have limited control over where these profiles will get installed, as in what laptops, how many profiles already exist, etc.

Funny how putting it into writing clarifies things!
Here's what I did:
on Second policy I added a run command:
chown -R KTMScart ./Users/KTMScart/Music/iTunes
all is well :)
