OS X Lion Server Supports iOS Management

Apple's newly released OS X Lion Server has the ability to manage settings for iOS devices, reveals AnandTech.

To manage iOS, Lion Server administrators can use the new Profile Manager to create XML files called Profiles - these profiles can then be downloaded by users, or pushed out to users devices by administrators to manage email settings, password requirements, network settings, and even remotely lock and wipe devices in the event of theft.


The site believes this is part of Apple's strategy to merge the two operating systems over time.
