Import and export custom profiles

You can easily import or export custom profiles, when needed. This can help you create a local copy of your custom profiles, share them with other users, or to quickly import previously backed up custom profiles. A custom profile always has a unique name, description, type (a configuration or command profile), and the associated configuration. Each configuration in the profile includes a name unique in the profile, description, an indicator of whether it is configured, an OMA-URI, the operation associated with the configuration (Add/Replace or Execute), order in which it is defined, the data tape, and its value. This information is stored in a KCWINPROFILE file. For example:

<WindowsCustomProfile>

  <Name>A Valid Import</Name>

  <Description>A Description of a valid import</Description>

  <SetType>Configuration</SetType>

  <CustomPolicyConfigs>

    <CustomPolicyConfig>

     <Name>Config One</Name>

      <Description>Configuration One</Description>

      <State>Configured</State>

      <OmaUri>some/value</OmaUri>

      <Operation>AddReplace</Operation>

      <Order>1</Order>

      <DataType>boolean</DataType>

      <DataValue>true</DataValue>

    </CustomPolicyConfig>

  </CustomPolicyConfigs>

</WindowsCustomProfile>

For detailed information about custom profile fields, see Example: Create a local administrative user on an enrolled device.

To import custom profiles:

  1. On the Libraries tab, in the top-right corner, choose Add New > Import Custom Profile.
  2. In the Import Custom Profiles view that appears, click Browse and navigate to the one or more custom profile files that you want to import. Then click Import.

    The profiles you are about to import appear listed in the view. You can only import a valid custom profile. If any syntax issues are found in the import file, they are displayed. Also, the name of each custom profile must be unique.

  3. Click Import to confirm that you want to import the listed profiles.

    The list of configuration profiles refreshes, showing the newly imported profiles.

To export custom profiles:

  1. On the Libraries tab, select one or more custom profiles that you want to export.
  2. In the custom report profile view on the right, click Export.

    A ZIP file containing one or more KCWINPROFILE files are downloaded to your system.
