Deploying iOS Devices with Apple Configurator and the Casper Suite v9

This guide explains how to deploy iOS devices using Apple Configurator and the Casper Suite. This deployment method allows you to connect devices to a computer and enroll them with the JAMF Software Server (JSS) by installing profiles on the devices using Apple Configurator. You can also set up Apple Configurator to install apps and restore a backup on a device as it is being enrolled. Once devices are enrolled, they can be managed remotely using the Casper Suite.

Deploying devices using the instructions in this guide will result in supervised devices. Supervision allows you to install profiles and apps on devices without touching them. It also prevents devices from being synched with iTunes on another computer or being used with Apple Configurator on another computer.
