Of course those 'extra' security features ended up biting us as well.My video walking you through the process of setting up a virtual machine that can run macOS Monterey! Requirements & Instructions (Modified Original Instructions) However, if you mention multiple locations, and in those cases, it might be safer to have those devices supervised, as it means you have more control over them. However, you might want to consider Guided Access Mode (with a Passcode), as it's very similar and will be possible with an unsupervised device. Most of what you are trying to do seems like it should be achievable with just an MDM on an unsupervised device. So it's definitely possible to backup and migrate. The only solution to this is to factory reset the iPads and supervise them on another Mac, resulting in the loss of any data on the iPad. If there is a fault, such as a hard drive failure, which causes your Apple Configurator data files to be lost you will no longer be able to manage your iPads. If your iPads are supervised by Apple Configurator they are permanently tied to a single Mac. However, I know he kept pushing for DEP because of that reason. By the time I got to this, we were already on the DEP program. I'm not too familiar with Apple Configuator as we had another employee who handled that and he left already.

It can be upgraded to El Capitan so for $150 it is a reasonable expense for us to try out.Īm I understanding correctly that if an iPad is deployed as Supervised using Apple Configurator then that software install is the only one that can manage the device later? What provisions exist for backing this up? I was looking at a used Mac Mini (late 2009) model as an option.

The new MDM that we have in evaluation supposedly offers the full gamut of iOS policies and supports DEP, but I don't have access to it yet.

Our current MDM is Google, which only offers the basic security policies. I was hoping to deploy the iPads in Single App Mode running the conference room control UI, unify the system settings between all devices, as well as save profiles that have the static network configs that's required, apps, and other settings to keep downtime to a minimum if anything happens to one of the units. The conference room system they work with is only in place at one location for now, but may be expanded to others.
