Does anyone have any experience using this type of thing? I'm just wondering how it works but looking for a more practical description.

The utility enables you to create profiles with various settings in them such as wireless networks, email and exchange settings, VPN settings, security certificates, passcode requirements, etc. The exported profile files can then be sent to all the iPhones in your company so that they all have the same settings.

Or for someone like myself with an original iPhone in Canada (sim unlocked), it allows me to make incorrect settings to the phone to stop it from using Data. With the release of 2.0, you could no longer set your own APN settings, and therefore the only way to turn off data for your phone was to call your provider and have them block data. For a while I had a 5MB plan that I only turned on when needed. This tool was necessary.

Apple is developing on Microsoft Visual Studio .Net.

Never thought I'd see the day.
