A primer in Profile Manager: The setup

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>This is part 2 in a multi-part series on setting up Profile Manager to manage your Mac OS, iOS, and Apple TV devices. For an introduction to the series, have a look at last week’s article, A primer in Profile Manger (http://www.macworld.com/article/3005492/business/a-primer-in-profile-manager.html).</p><p>To begin our work with Profile Manager, we’re going to start with a fresh install of El Capitan (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-el-capitan/id1018109117?mt=12) and a fresh install of the Server app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id883878097?mt=12).</p><h2>A note of caution</h2>
<p>You may already have El Capitan and Server installed on a Mac somewhere, but it’s never a good idea to play with server configurations on computers in a production environment, so we’re going to spend a little time here setting up El Capitan and Server on an external drive. Once you’ve practiced using Profile Manager in a test environment, you can take what you’ve learned here and introduce it to your production environment.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3008629/servers/a-primer-in-profile-manager-the-setup.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
