iMazing is a product from DigiDNA, which is a Swiss company. The PresentĪEiOS was retired and iMazing was chosen to control and image the Student Checkout iPads. The final nail in the coffin for this project was the core developer left our organization and we decided to investigate other solutions where we could greatly decrease our direct development and support, but provide similar functionality and with fewer bugs & stability issues.

Our code had its fair share of bugs and stability issues and especially for those external to our organization the code was probably very difficult to understand, let alone to give us feedback and contributions.Īnd at the Marriott Libary, we are getting more & more busy with additional projects, services with ever-increasing demands on our time.

Nobody wants to depend on code that is difficult to understand, unstable, and full of bugs. Maybe, our project solved a problem for a very few, but wasn’t the top priority that MacAdmins needed or time to focus on it? The truth is a lot of open-source code is not the best quality. This is often the case with open source projects, where there is a need for the solution but due to many factors very little feedback and contributions outside the core developers.Ī good open-source project solves a problem or the top problems that MacAdmins are actively searching for a solution. We started seeing increasing issues with technical debt the internally developed solution that we shared with the community on our public GitHub repository, but with no feedback or contributions. With our student iPad checkout program success and increasing demand for more and more iPads. Here is an overview of the workflow process: Technical Debt It had to be easy and simple as university students and non-IT employees would be interacting with it.

We wanted to set up a fully automated process that could easily take a new or recently checked-out iPad, erase it, apply a configuration to it, install apps, and quickly return it to students that would like to check it out. We have created a completely automated, and truly zero-touch solution for iOS device checkout using free and native Apple macOS solutions that require no interaction by our very busy support staff other than plugging in with check-in.

It wasn’t dependent on Jamf Pro could be used with any MDM solution, but we implemented it with our Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, Jamf Pro.īy integrating the best features of Apple’s Apple Configurator, Device Enrollment Program (DEP), Mobile Device Management (MDM), and Volume Purchase Program (VPP). It integrates the best of Apple Configurator, Device Enrollment Program (DEP), Volume Purchase Program (VPP), and Mobile Device Management (MDM). It was designed for our student checkout iPads in our student environment with very busy support staff. Users can configure the devices however they like, install their own applications, and even use iCloud, while we (MacAdmins) maintain user data privacy between each checkout. We wanted to provide our students and patrons the ability to use our iPads without restrictions as if they were personal devices. To meet this need and limited budget, we developed AEiOS (Automated Enterprise iOS) which is a python library designed to aid the automation of Apple iOS device management, configuration, and imaging. Originally, our iPad student checkout project started with 10 iPad with the use case of quick check –out and return with students attending classes onsite at the Marriott Library or in near proximity. Here is a link to the University of Utah’s Marriott Library and other case studies using iMazing Configurator and their other solutions.

We had a great experience with their technical support, Gregorio Zanon, discussing our management needs and requests and with them implementing many of our requests. iMazing has a feature called Configurator that allows blueprints to be built. IMazing is a product from DigiDNA, which is a Swiss company.
