Use the -s to define a startup profile and take note that if it fails, the profile will attempt to install at each subsequent reboot until installed. You can configure profiles to install at the next boot, rather than immediately. usr/bin/profiles -I -F ~/Desktop/HawkeyesTrickshot.mobileconfig The following installs HawkeyesTrickshot.mobileconfig from your desktop: usr/bin/profiles -R -F /tmp/HawkeyesTrickshot.mobileconfig

Use -p to indicate the profile is from a server or -F to indicate it’s source is a file. The -I option installs profiles and the -R removes profiles. You’ll then see a prompt to remove all profiles, enter y to do so or n to skip:Īre you sure you want to remove all device configuration profiles? There are no configuration profiles installed in the system domain If there aren’t any profiles in the System Domain, you’ll see a message similar to the following: To see just user profiles, use the -L option: There are no configuration profiles installedĪs with managed preferences (and piggy backing on managed preferences for that matter), configuration profiles can be assigned to users or computers. If there are no profiles installed, you’ll see a message similar to the following: To see all profiles, aggregated, use the profiles command with just the -P option: To script profile deployment, administrators can add and remove configuration profiles using the new /usr/bin/profiles command. This, along with all of the operators remains static from 10.10 and on. System/Library/LaunchDaemons and /System/Library/LaunchAgents has a mdmclient daemon and agent respectively that start it up automatically. Once profiles are installed on a Mac, mdmclient, a binary located in /usr/libexec will process changes such as wiping a system that has been FileVaulted (note you need to FileVault if you want to wipe an OS X Lion client computer). You can then install profiles by just opening them and installing. You can still export profiles from Apple Configurator or Profile Manager (or some of the 3rd party MDM tools).

You might be happy to note that other than the ability to interpret new payloads, the profiles command mostly stays the same in High Sierra.
