iPad in the enterprise

With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft Exchange,

www.apple.com/ipad/business.

Using conguration proles

If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other items on
iPad by installing a conguration prole. Conguration proles let your administrator set up your
iPad to use the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a
conguration prole 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 conguration proles 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 prole that ties your iPad to a mobile device management server, which allows your
administrator to congure your settings remotely.
Install conguration proles: On iPad, open the email message or download the conguration
proles from the website your administrator provides. When you open a conguration prole,
installation begins.
Important: You may be asked whether a conguration prole is trusted. If in doubt, ask your
administrator before installing the conguration prole.
You can’t change the settings dened by a conguration prole. If you want to change settings,
you must rst remove the conguration prole, or install a new conguration prole with the
new settings.
Remove a conguration prole: Go to Settings > General > Prole, then select the conguration
prole and tap Remove.
Removing a conguration prole deletes the settings and all other information installed by
the prole.

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.
