Has anyone tried using the configurator? I'd give it a go but it looks like it might completely wipe devices prior to applying the settings.

- r0nin 12y agoyeah, if your device wasn't supervisioned before it would clean install - i guess but i haven't tried and/or checked otherwise if you can than reapply your backup.
- joosters 12y agoI found a way: you can apply the restriction to a non-supervised device, which simplifies the process. You don't need to re-install or wipe. Just create a profile with the restrictions, then follow the instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5833 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5833 (Edit to add: It's actually unclear if the non-pairing restriction gets applied when using this method, it doesn't seem to get listed in the profile details once on the device)
- RKearney 12y agoIt does not. The Allow pairing with non-Configurator hosts requires that the device be supervised.
- 616c 12y agoThat is optional. (Source: Me, administers over 100 Apple devices with Configuration in day-to-day operations.) The software is so-so, but asynchronously managing USB connected devices is annoying, even with a shiny Apple interface.
