Schools Broadband Netsweeper - MDMs?

[snagrat]

So first Netsweeper migration happening next week and just wondered how MDMs and Google Apps behave?

 

Now we have to set a proxy obviously if the iOS or Chromebook cannot connect to the internet to be able to download the latest profile which specify the proxy to use then this isn’t good.

 

Or are MDM using different ports or except from any filtering/proxy settings?

 

Anyone who has migrated would appreciate your experience with such devices

Hi,

 

MDM and Google Apps will be fine as we ensure communication is allowed via both Netsweeper and the firewall. We can always relax the firewall whilst your setup is completed and then once you are happy start to put restrictions back in place.

 

Have you had your pre-migration appointment where you have chance to raise any queries?

 

If you PM me your school details I will find out what I can,

 

Thanks,

Unfortunately my MDM is not working. Devices cannot check in. Couldn’t see any open ports to Apple in the firewall so I have added ports 5223 to 17.0.0.0/8 and the logs suggest this is working better now.

 

However iPads still not checking in but think it is related to the proxy not being setup yet
