![]() This time we will use make-profile-pkg to create a package containing our profiles. Luckily, Tim has made our life easy once again. I however choose to install the profiles via a package for my users. If you have a MDM server you could simply upload the profiles to that, you could have users double click the files, etc. If you have made it this far you should have two working profiles (one was already made for you).
