Installing an app remotely (using MDM)

Question

I have read the Apple documentation regarding Mobile Device Management (MDM) but did not find what I was looking for. Can somebody help me with the following?

1. I have an enterprise account and I want to manage a few devices using MDM. Is it possible to install applications remotely (from the server side) to these devices that I am managing?

2. If yes, can someone give the procedure of doing it or some documentation related to this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

iOS 5 has added the ability to push a URL to the application manifest to the device using MDM, at which point the user will be asked if they want to install the application. The Apple MDM documentation has been updated to include the XML required to support this.
