[MacTUG] Upgraded to Apple School manager

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Ouch! Well it is not the default any more as I set it to none! That is a bad design and us Device Admins should not have that power!

Glenn and Cassie are going to look into the “Locations” functionality as that might make things more granular.

Thanks for pointing this out Jim!

In fact, I just logged in again, and now it is set the Env Server4.
So, definitely institutional.

That's what I hoped/thought at first.  It was set to the IST server when I logged in.
I set it to 'None'.  What does it say for you?  If 'none' then it is a global setting.

I view this option as saying something a bit different, Jim. If you or I set it, I think we are saying this is the default for us.

For example I just set the default server for me as my server -- and remember I am ‘just’ a device and content manager* so I don’t think I set it for you. And Glenn, when you are on you can look at the accounts and see things like this, correct? Can you look and see that my default server is set to envserver4 and that I did not set that for others. If I had that power as a mere device manager that would be really bad on apples part but I am curious to know!

*ie can just join devices and eventually (when we migrate all the VPP accounts) buy apps

May I suggest that under

Settings
   -> (Institutional Settings) Device Management Settings
   -> Default Device Assignment (Edit)
We should not put a default server in any of those.
Maybe Apple has changed the procedure, but it used to be the case that
there was a limit to how many times a device could be re-assigned between
servers.  Leaving it set to 'None' forces all of us to explicitly choose,
which should reduce mistakes.

Subject: [MacTUG] FYI: Upgraded to Apple School manager

This morning we moved from the old Apple DEP and VPP to Apple’s School Manager, everything seemed to go well.

Everyone’s account should be fine and have the same privileges as before.

If anyone encounters a problem or has a question, please contact me or Cassie.


The new address is http://school.apple.com if you go to the old deploy address and log in you will be notified that we have upgraded ( see screen capture )

Thanks,

Glenn
