This blog will cover how to manage corporate iPad; iPads owned by the company/school. Once all prerequisites have been setup, enrolment is very quick as easy as turning the device ON. Device Enrolment steps  Unbox and turn on Select language Select Region Connect to the Internet At this stage the onboard MDM agent will check in with Apple servers to see if the device is part of the Apple Device Enrolment program. NOTE: Devices not added to this DEP program must be enrolled manually: see below Open Safari and navigate to the URL https://account.manage.microsoft.com Enroll corporate-owned devices with the Device Enrollment Manager (Microsoft Intune account specifically created and can enrol 2000 devices)  The Company portal page will ask you to Enrol the device and install the APN certificate.  Run through this process until finished.

DRIVER MANAGEMENT 1.1 KEY STEPS • Identify drivers that match Hardware IDs • Installing, and capturing drivers • Importing drivers, categorising, and creating a driver package • Updating Task Sequences • Identifying missing drivers if necessary. 1.2 IDENTIFYING DRIVERS  The first step in identifying drivers can be timely depending on the hardware vendor.  Vendors provide self-service support pages; it is possible to find the model and specific supported drivers. With the example of Dell computers; it is possible to download all the drivers for a particular model via driver CABs from the community pages.  This does allow you to proceed quickly but the CAB will typically contains extra drivers to cater to all variances of the model. NOTE: do not import the whole CAB into SCCM.  The install and capture procedure will ensure the driver package is a small as possible. http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/2065.dell-command-deploy-driver-p...

Windows 7 / 8.1 : Dynamically load drivers in a SCCM 2012 task sequence with Nomad Overview: Within your organisation you have many different types of computer models.  You want a single build task sequence that can dynamically select the correct driver package to install with the OS. The Answer: To achieve the dynamic selection it is necessary to implement a MDT 2013 database (supply link) in which the Task Sequence will gather the assigned PackageID based on a Model type WMI query. With this Task Sequence variable %OSDDRIVERPACKAGE% it is possible to use a command line to run an election and locate the PackageID within the local subnet. NomadPackageLocator.exe -Nomad_local -RemoveHTTPLocations -RequireNomad -HideErrorDialog -RestrictPackages=%OSDDRIVERPACKAGE% Then as a follow up step the use of SMSNomad.exe prestage command will query the DP for the package and then download the Package from the winner of the election SMSNomad.exe --s --Prestage --pp=http://%SMSDP%/SMS_PP_SMSPKG...
