new year, new pin issues

[KK20]

A new year, a new set of pupils not following the instructions for the ipads. Following a pupil forgetting their PIN, usually I reset the ipad using diagnostic mode and a mac. Sending a passcode removal from MDM wont work because WIFI isnt enabled before PIN. I havent been able to share internet from a Mac due to the Mac not being "trusted" (even though I dont have USB restriction in place and the Mac is sharing internet connection).

 

Is there a way to configure a profile with device trust? Or a certificate pairing that would have an ipad trust a particular Mac (so that I can cable internet share which should "listen" to the PIN removal request from MDM?). Anything to save time on entire ipad reset.

 

another thought, even though we have MDM via ASM, can you export an apple configurator 2 "certificate/trust/link" so that I could use a mac with AC2 and its "advanced/remove passcode" facility?
