The appliance enables you to upload MOBILECONFIG files that contain the configuration settings required to create Mac profiles.
You have obtained a file that contains the configuration settings, or payloads, required for the profile, and that file uses the filename extension MOBILECONFIG. For example, mail.mobileconfig. For information about creating Mac profiles and downloading them from the Mac OS X Server, go to http://help.apple.com/profilemanager/mac/4.0.
NOTE: You cannot view or edit the payloads of profiles that have been uploaded to the Administrator Console. However, you can modify the payloads in the MOBILECONFIG file outside the Administrator Console, then upload the edited file as a new profile. |

To ensure that profiles are installed on devices that are offline, consider setting up schedules to deploy profiles. See Distribute Mac profiles on a schedule. |
