Perhaps I should document it and link to it in detail but basically you use Apple Configurator to create a profile and set its restriction flags accordingly and keep it somewhere you can redeploy with ease and simply DFU restore the iOS device so that it gets the latest clean iOS image. After that you don’t activate it by going through the setup screen. Instead you use the connected Mac with Apple Configurator to “Prepare” the device and the computer activates it and pairs it with your “organization” public key and you can add the profiles you created in the previous steps to apply the configuration restrictions. It’s like having an enterprise MDM except you don’t need a server just the local profile is enough.

Feel free to send me a note to the email in the profile. I will make sure to link to you when I get to documenting this.
