We're deploying iPad devices to teachers and we're using wireless casting to Promethean TVs, CTOUCH TVs etc. One issue I have ran into is that on the i3Connect devices, Miracast and wireless sharing options don't show up properly. I know this is a wireless issue, as when I change the wireless on the tablet and TV to my hotspot, they recognise each other straight away and I can connect. If I swap back to the onsite WiFi, it can't find it again. Does anyone know or had experience with an issue like this? And how we can go about unblocking this connection through Sophos so it works on the standard WiFi?

Hey hey, We have a bit of an issue with the ipad setup. In March all was working on, but for the last month we have had no luck with distributing apps to ipads in addition to buying new apps and getting them to appear in the profile manager. Nothing has been changed to my knowledge and all the settings look ok The ipads do talk somewhat to the profile manager as the enrolling and pushing apps that are already installed go into the completed tasks log and appear ok. The apps when being pushed to the ipads if they are new to the ipad will say ‘No Copies Available’ With apps that have been associated with that ipad before will with go through ok or get stuck on ‘In Progress’ Our ipads are on various IOS levels some are on 9.1 to the latest. I thought I would mention this as I know there was an issue with 9.2. I have also replaced the VPP token When buying from the educational store, the item is purchased ok and all e-mail notifications are done as usual. But sadly the item never appears on the server to distribute later. I think that this is the main issue and the part will hopefully fix the other issues we are having distributing to ipads Has anyone had this issue before or got any ideas?

All our Ipads are on the Apple Dep and in meraki but I have had an email thismorning to say that one of the Ipads has had the profile removed i didnt think they could if it was in DEP?

Hi there, We have an interesting issue here. All the apple products(imaccs, macbooks) stop printing after about 2 weeks after they have been re-imaged but only if they are not on the same VLAN as our domain controllers. We do not use MDNS and Bonjour is disabled as well. As soon as you plug it back in to the main domain it starts printing again for about 2 weeks then it stops again. It looks like an authentication issue (Kerberos) but can't figure out what goes wrong. Using Windows 2012 R2 on the DC and Sierra 10.12.6 on the Macs Any ideas? Thanks Peter

Has anyone else noticed this issue with iPads?

DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS support is coming to Apple devices this fall. https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-devices-will-get-encrypted-dns-in-ios-14-and-macos-11

Hi All Were looking at managing a suite of 50 imacs and 20 ipads. Do we need to invest in Jamf to dish out settings, apps and updates or can Intune handle these things? We already have Intune as part of our campus agreement but wondered if it was an good with Apple products. Most of the places i've looked mention Jamf as the way to go but at a considerable cost. Any comments greatly appreciated. S

I'm trying to get apple classroom running on a set of 16 iMac's. I can install the teachers Classroom application fine and that run ok as far as I can tell. The issue comes when I want to add a student on a mac to a class, to add them I try and run the classroom preference pane in system preferences. It just brings up an error message You can’t open the “Classroom” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. To see this preferences pane, you may need to connect a device to your computer. Looking online the computers are the right specification and the OSX version is 10.14.4 and there are no updates avalible from apple. The mac's are all DEP and enrolled in meraki MDM I thought it might be a bluetooth or wireless issue but they are both on. I even tried tethering to my phone incase it was a filtering issue with the school broadband. Has anybody been able to get the classroom 2.0 app for mac working ? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT206151

Hi All, Just wondering has anyone had any issues with the Impero Client on Macs? We have an example where if a teacher logs into the Mac then they cannot access the Impero Console, but they can if they are on a Windows device? Do Macs have to be added via Device (as well as User?)? What I dont want to do is add the Mac to the "Access Rights Console" and then this lets students access the console - even though we have a password set up. Also on another note - has anyone seen the issue where Impero icon in the taskbar on the Mac quickly flashes up and then disappears again? Which then causes the Mac to hang for a second or two - really annoying when you are typing and the device just hangs for a second or 2. Thanks

I don't want pupils turning on the mac wifi and hot spotting the mac. pupils are using a standard user, not admin.

Does anyone bother using antivirus on Ipads? If so what? And why ? Just occurred to me that I don't. Although I do on my personal phone. Cheers in advance

Hi All, Now this one may have been asked before, but I couldn't find it from searching. The Secondary school I work for is looking at Airserver for our staff iPads. I've finally got it working with our terrible wireless network and it connects and mirrors fine. The problem I've got is that, how do you push out Airserver and have the package name the computer according to the Computer name and set a password? We will be deploying this on our current CC4 network but will eventually have it running on our Vanilla network (once we have moved across to it) Or, do I have to go around manually installing it to all teaching machines? :/ Thanks in advance!

Hi All We use Meraki Systems manager to manage the 100 iPads we have. For a year everything has been running smoothly. Last week I had to renew the Apple MDM cert. I followed the guide provided by Meraki and renewed the certificate, everything went smoothly.. until now Clients are not reporting in and when I view a client it says the push cert is non-compliant. I clicked "what is this" under neither and it reads "This device is using an outdated APNS topic and needs to be re-enrolled. I have tried to un-enrol the device, and then enrol it by following the instructions on the iOS deployment page". I tried this with 4 iPads and now they will not reenrol. I have tried deleting the clients and removing the Profile, to no avail. I'm hoping someone has some idea on a solution to this before I try adding a new cert and attempting to re-enrol all devices from there. Thank you in advanced to any help!
