Meraki & iPads - Specify time for app install

[Renfield-64]

Does anyone using Meraki know how to delay the MDM from rolling out apps? The problem I have is I select apps in the dashboard and roll them out to 45 iPads but this results in strangling our crappy internet connection to death whilst they install. If I could delay the updates until the evening or overnight it wouldn't affect anyone.

 

Any ideas?

Don't think you can schedule installs.

 

You could license each device a few at a time (if you've got DEP or unique apple ID's)

Oh yes that's a good point. Maybe do 5 at a time.

you can turn off auto-install of apps which means you can get it all configured but fire out the apps at a time of your choosing. That way you can stagger your installs.

Ok that's worth a try to. I could fire them out from home then at night.

 

Thanks,

You could also get a Mac mini to use as an app caching server.

Thanks, I am trying to stay away from Macs as much as possible though (apart from the configurator program to set up).
