• Significantly improved reliability, scalability and performance
• A new status view that includes time estimates and error information with recovery suggestions
• Ability to cancel scheduled or in-progress operations
• Administrators can install apps on devices configured to not allow users to install apps

Apple Configurator is a free download from the Mac App Store. [Direct Link]
