Logging into iPads, anyone know anymore about how this will be achieved? Please be able to mirror Active Directory PLEASE!

 

Education - Mac, iPad, Apple TV - Apple

 

This worries me : << Students know which devices to use because their pictures are on the Lock screens. >>

 

Sounds like it's not truly flexible in that students ideally have to keep using the same devices, presumably due to the small internal memory being unable to cope with multiple "logons".

ABSOLUTELY FUMING!

Yes I have just seen that. I don't know why they bothered, how many schools can afford iPad Air 2 etc. Another kick in th teeth from Apple. A bit like airdrop!

I love iPads but its getting harder and harder to defend them these days. I was really excited for these features. Im guessing the classroom app will be all but useless without multi user support.

They're probably "joined" to a Profile Manager server. As long as the Profile Manager server is joined to AD, they could probably be made to use AD credentials too.

Those are all A8 or above based iPads. This is pure speculation on my part but I'm willing to bet that anything less probably doesn't have enough RAM. I think that the iPad Air 2 was the first to get 2GB. I'm less than impressed that 32GB is the minimum for storage though.

Meh...Apple will NEVER support AD logins on iPads get over it or use an MDM solution that can link to your Active Directory like Casper Suite

 

There were plenty of claims around a few years ago that apple would never support integration with Exchange on either iOS or Mac OSX. Never say never.
