Deploying iManage Work Desktop for Mac using MDM

If your organization uses a Mobile Device Management (MDM) application such as, Microsoft Intune or JAMF, perform the following steps using the MDM application to deploy iManage Work Desktop for Mac for all the users in your organization:

NOTE:

Before deploying a new version of the application, ensure that you quit the existing instances of iManage Work Desktop for Mac for all the users in your organization by using the MDM application.

  1. Install the iManage Work Desktop for Mac.pkg file, and quit iManage Agent.

  2. Set the ServerURL, Email Client Configuration, and CheckIn Default options in the user-level com.imanage.configuration.plist file at ~/Library/Application Support/iManage/Configuration/com.imanage.configuration.plist and push the file to users' Macs. For more information about these options, refer to Setting default value for Preferences.

    NOTE:

    Ensure that the users in your organization have Read/Write permissions to access the configuration files.

    (Alternatively) To apply the ServerURL, Email Client Configuration, and CheckIn Default options for all users who sign in to Mac, configure these options and also set the MDM Payload option to true in the root-level com.imanage.configuration.plist file at /Library/Application Support/iManage/Configuration/com.imanage.configuration.plist.

  3. Start iManage Agent for the configuration changes to take effect.

Repeat this procedure each time a new version of iManage Work Desktop for Mac has to be deployed.
