Is it possible to delete an enrollment profile created in profile manager, and send out a new enrollment profile with ARD? Basically, I need to change the apple ID associated with the Apple Push Notifications in Profile Manager, which as I understand it means that a whole new enrollment profile needs to be sent out. Am I off in my thinking?

Yes it's more than possible. The profiles command has been around since 10.7 and ARD is ideal for using it to remove, install and view profiles installed on client computers. Consult the manual for its use in Terminal "man profiles" first.
As an example you could create and download the profile (mobileconfig file) you want to install onto the management computer with ARD installed. Copy this to a secure location on your target computers (the local admin account's Desktop or Documents folder is what I normally do) and once copied issue this command:
/usr/bin/profiles -I -F /Users/localadminaccountname/Desktop/Settings_for_iMac.mobileconfig
The above is all in one line
The localadminaccountname is what your local admin account name is on each target computer
Settings_for_iMac.mobilconfig is an example only
Obviously send the command as root. I would remove the existing profile(s) first before sending the replacement. But before doing anything wholesale try it first on one target computer and test until you're confident.
Hope this helps? Tony

Hi there.
Not 100% sure but there must be a script to remove the enrollment profile. Also I believe you have to enroll the mac's manually one by one.
