Accept the EULA and click on Yes to Enable the extension, read the bit about ‘next time the console starts’, it’s important to remember !

After a couple of minutes, if you have a working internet connection it’s enabled !

Note: At this point, close the console ! If you don’t you’ll see iOS 9 support listed as iPhone 9.x so be aware of that.

After they are listed as Enabled, close the console and restart it. You should see the following asking you to update the console, answer yes.

the extensions are updated…

Once done, you’ll be informed of the console needing another close, click on Close.

After the console restart you can now deploy Configuration items and apps to iOS 9 devices (and iPad 9)

To troubleshoot the extension installation, look for the AdminUI.ExtensionInstaller.log file in D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\AdminUILog

In addition to the above log review hman.log and dmpdownloader.log as they may contain info about the success or failure of the extensions installation/download.
