Hey all,
So, I'm not sure how many of us on here deal with managing and deploying iOS devices as part of their job. My current employer is a K-12 school district and has me (full-time) and another guy (half-time) managing and deploying iPads for staff and students using Apple Configurator (about 1500 iPads in the district with 1000 for students that I actually deal with). We have 2 schools that are full 1:1 deployments of iPads and 5 schools with a iOS here and there (typically bought with special monies for specific purposes).
Anyway, I recently started consolidating all of my notes, thoughts, and headaches from working with all of these iPads and I created a little deployment guide of sorts to help walk people through the process (and make them feel a little less alone while doing so). It is about 20 pages but includes examples and pictures. I made the guide using Google Docs and would like to use that as much as possible (so that anyone it is shared with has access to the latest version) but if there are people here that are interested, and possibly without a Google account, I can make this into a Word or PDF file and share it that way too. Having fleshed most of the document out, I was curious to see if anyone on here would like to checkout this guide I made and maybe save themselves a few
@%#$&! if they are look at or planning for similar deployments. If you are interested, let me know. Maybe say something here in the thread and send me a PM with an email if I can share with Google Docs. I will check back every couple of days to see if anyone wants a gander.
Oh, I'm totally open to questions, comments, and suggestions that you may have about the process or the guide I made.
TL;DR - I work with lots of iOS. Wrote copious amounts of notes and snarky comments. Then combined everything into one document to share with others.
