iPhone OS Enterprise Deployment Guide

Learn how to integrate iPhone and iPod touch with your enterprise systems. This guide is for system administrators. It provides information about deploying and supporting iPhone and iPod touch in enterprise environments.

Read this section for an overview of the system requirements and the various components available for integrating iPhone and iPod touch with your enterprise systems. iPhone and iPod touch devices you use with your enterprise network must be updated with iPhone OS 3.0 or later.

iTunes 8.2 or later is required in order to set up a device. This version is also required in order to install software updates for iPhone or iPod touch, install applications, as well as to sync music, video, notes, or other data with a Mac or PC.

iPhone Configuration Utility lets you create, encrypt and install configuration profiles, track and install provisioning profiles and authorized applications, and capture device information including console loges. To create configuration profiles for devices with iPhone OS 3.0 or later, you need iPhone Configuration Utility 2.0 or later

The utility allows you to create an Outlook message with a configuration profile as an attachment. Additionally, you can assign users’ names and email addresses from your desktop address book to devices that you’ve connected to the utility. Both of these features require Outlook and are not compatible with Outlook Express. To use these features on Windows XP computers, you may need to install 2007 Microsoft Office System Update: Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies. This is necessary if Outlook was installed before .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
