iPad in the enterprise

With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft Exchange, iPad is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPad in business, go to www.apple.com/ipad/business.

Using configuration profiles

If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other items on iPad by installing a configuration profile. Configuration profiles let your administrator set up your iPad to use the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a configuration profile might set up your iPad to access the Microsoft Exchange servers at work, so iPad can access your Exchange email, calendars, and contacts, and it may turn on Passcode Lock to help keep the information secure.

Your administrator may distribute configuration profiles by email, by putting them on a secure webpage, or by installing them directly on iPad for you. Your administrator may have you install a profile that ties your iPad to a mobile device management server, which allows your administrator to configure your settings remotely.

Install configuration profiles: On iPad, open the email message or download the configuration profiles from the website your administrator provides. When you open a configuration profile, installation begins.

Important: You may be asked whether a configuration profile is trusted. If in doubt, ask your administrator before installing the configuration profile.

You can’t change the settings defined by a configuration profile. If you want to change settings, you must first remove the configuration profile, or install a new configuration profile with the new settings.

Remove a configuration profile: Go to Settings > General > Profile, then select the configuration profile and tap Remove.

Removing a configuration profile deletes the settings and all other information installed by the profile.

Setting up Microsoft Exchange accounts

Microsoft Exchange provides email, contact, tasks, and calendar information that you can automatically sync wirelessly to iPad. You can set up an Exchange account directly on iPad.

Set up an Exchange account on iPad: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap Add Account, then tap Microsoft Exchange. Ask your service provider or administrator what settings you should use.
