I still can't distribute apps due to various errors, and I need some further clafification and help please:
ENVIRONMENT FACTORS:
•On-premise
•SMC 3.6.0.5
•Active Directory Integrated
VPP SET-UP:
1. Enrolled in Apple VPP
2. Purchased an application ensuring that we select the Excel option (download codes) and NOT the MDM (managed) option!
3.Downloaded the sToken text file from the Apple VPP website
4.Entered the VPP Apple ID and token into System setup > iOS Volume Purchase Program
5.Manually invited a VPP user from SMC
6.Confirmed the user successfully joined to our VPP program
7.Used Apple Link Maker to get the link to the app created in step 2
8.Created a package within Applications in SMC. Ensuring we enter:
•Name
•Version
•Left Recommendation Status as blank (not mandatory)
•Select iOS 7 and above
•Assign a customer
•Use the link created by the Apple Link Maker
•Upload the VPP file (Excel spreadsheet) friom step 2 above
•Save and save again
9. Edit VPP user and associate the VPP license
10. Deploy the application to the user.
QUESTIONS:
Q1. Why have Sophos selected to not go with what Apple would call an MDM solution when purchasing applications and instead gone down the Excel spreadsheet route?
Q2. When manually import and invite the VPP users, am I to use their Activesync (corporate) e-mail address or their iTunes account e-mail address or does this not mater?
Q3. Every-time I purchase a new application do I need to download and re-import the sToken?
Q4. Following Sophos KB 120033 re access to vpp.itunes.apple.com to their 17.*.*.* network... What TCP / UDP port numbers need to be opened?
ISSUES:
i1. When I deploy the application I get error code: -3 Wrong parameter but not further indication of what the problem is
i2. I can't seem to find the "SHOW" button next to the application to add the user (as per the following from SDU:
QUOTE:
1. Via the application package itself.
Edit the VPP application package in the SMC console and press the "Show" button next to VPP licenses.
You can now select all the VPP users which you have invited and who already confirmed the inviation.
END Quote"
i3. When removing, re-adding, and re-associating a VPP app with a user I get the following error:
Message:
Could not store vpp user , user="Id: 3CustomerId: 15, GUID: ********-*****-*****-******, Last name: Bloggs, First name: Joe, Vpp status: Invited, Email: joe.bloggs@exampledomain.com"
REQUESTS:
Please change Sophos KB 118600 to include the need to download the Excel spreadsheet when purchasing from the Apple VPP program....
Thanks,
John
