Need help with Meraki enrollment on new Ipads

[mikkydoos]

Hi all,

 

I haven't done this for ages and can't rightly remember how I did it... help!

 

We've got a stack of exsisting Ipads - staff and pupil devices.

 

Initial config was done with apple configurator then I set up an Apple ID for each user/device.

 

When I originally set these up I got Apple to whitelist our domain so I could create a stack of Apple ID's for each one in iTunes.

This is before DEP and Apple classroom etc existed. They won't whitelist the domain now and I have a restriction on how many ID's I can set up per day/week whatever.

 

 

Now..... I have a load of new ones that I need to get set up with Meraki in order to push apps to them etc. They haven't been DEP'd.

 

My current config has Meraki sending a push notification to the device, (We've got VPP all set up in Meraki incidentally) then the device prompts the App store password nag, then installs the apps.

 

 

Do I still need unique Apple ID's on each device?

 

Does Apple/Meraki/App store still work like that?

 

If not, how do I get them set up correctly?

 

 

EDIT: We are using the free Meraki so no device assignment is available to us.

 

 

 

Cheers in advance

Without device assignment in your MDM you will need a unique Apple ID for each iPad...

Cheers @Brimstone.

 

Yep. I fugired so. Apple whitelisted our domain so I was able to create them in the end.

 

What a faff !!!!!!!

For how many iPads...?

[mikkydoos]

It was 30 but that's plenty enough. Methinks I need to start licensing Meraki !

The only other benefit of using the paid Meraki licence is you get access to better support.

For 30 of them!!!!?

 

I'm currently speaking to Apple in the US to justify whitelisting a school who wants to deploy 650, Apple UK would not do this?
