CHAPTER 1 Setting Up Your Device and Your Computer
Using user profiles
Only IT managers may need to use user profiles for their company. If you are not an IT
manager, you can skip this section.
Suppose your sales organization wants to distribute two dozen devices that all have a common
company phone list, a set of memos, and several key applications. A user profile can be created to
install this information before the devices are distributed to employees. When the employees
synchronize for the first time, this common information becomes part of their user-specific
information.
A user profile enables you to install the same information onto multiple devices before each
device is individualized with a unique username and user-specific information. A device that has a
user profile installed can be given to anyone, because the device is not yet identified by a unique
username. When the new user synchronizes for the first time, he or she gives the device a unique
username.
Devices that are synchronized with a user profile must be either new devices that have
never been synchronized or devices that have had their usernames and information removed by a
hard reset
.
