Read the Device Enrolment Program Guide Carefully from the above link.
Deploying Devices
You can assign profiles to devices and additional settings, policies,
and restrictions from your organization’s
physical MDM server. These features can provide increased control and device functionality.
Here are additional features you can manage:
•
Device supervision
•
Mandatory configuration
•
Lockable MDM settings
•
Setup screens
Setup Assistant screens that can be skipped include:
-
Passcode
. Hides and disables the passcode pane
.
-
Location.
Does not enable Location Services
.
-
Restore from backup.
Disables restoring from backup
.
-
Apple ID.

.
-
Terms of Service.

-
Siri.

-
Sending diagnostics.

Please consult your MDM vendor’s documentation for the specific implementation of these features.
Once you’ve set your configuration information, devices will be automatically enrolled into MDM when
they go through the Setup Assistant. After each user has completed the Setup Assistant, the device is
automatically enrolled in MDM and configured with the settings and services you’ve specified.

Mar 12, 2014 12:03 PM in response to Sumesh_22by edwin1650,I am actually using Profile manager and a 3rd party called Air Watch. But I can not find the settings to disable passcode lock.

Mar 12, 2014 1:07 PM in response to edwin1650by varjak paw,I believe that's only possible if your devices are on iOS 7.1 where the Passcode Lock is now a separate preference, and it will probably require an update to Air Watch to support those new features.
