Help deploying VPP Apps via profile manager

[junz]

Hi,

 

I am trying to deploy logic pro X via profile manager but the app does not seem to be deploying. I recently found that the APN certificate had expired and have renewed that so not sure if that was the issue. Any suggestions as to what I should do?

Hi Junz,

 

Sorry it's a bit later in the year now but if you haven't already fixed this, the APNS will make ALL the difference as that's the certificate the authenticates any 'Push Notifications' the MDM is trying to send. Once the APNS is up and running I would cancel any pending deployments and in the active tasks list, remove the software from the group/computer and then re-assign it all again.

Hi TomPearceGeek,We had this issue resolved a while back and the solution you have stated was what was needed to resolve this issue. I know have another issue with Logic Pro x where the Logic Pro X sound files need to be downloaded for each user but I believe that there is a way to deploy the sound files to each user and have them re index the files. Do you have any experience with this?

 

Thanks in advance.

I did have a script somewhere that I began working on. I will see if I can dig it out. I deployed the logic files through Munki (IT TAKES FOREVER!) which is the first step by downloading all the logic packages systematically using a python script and then re-packaging them for deployment via Munki (Means that there isn't millions of packages in Munki)

 

I used the following script to get the files https://github.com/carlashley/appleLoops

I then used Packages to re-package the packages into a new package.... packages.

You might want to have a look at this guys blog post... Looks like he's basically perfected it.
