But when i looked at it in the past, it looked like utter turd and no way near as good as some of the others. But apart from Apple Config. (which you could use on a OSX VM) then you haven't many choices if you're after free. You might have better luck asking on http://www.enterpriseios.com forums though.

I've not done any MDM stuff, pain to support these remotely just now, be interested to hear what you come up with. | |

Although having worked in number of schools in the past, if the department has the budget spare then you can spend it on what ever; it's only when you have to grovel to the superiors for more that you have issues. As said though prices vary, so it's worth doing your homework. Certainly a lot of the 'cloud' based MDM's i was looking at were roughly £2 per device per month. [Edited on 06-07-2012 by Dom] | |

Schools generally don't like to spend vast amount of money on doing stuff like this so yes he is going to struggle. | |

If you're dealing with a handful of devices then go with Ed's option of Apple Configurator as it's free. Otherwise if you have a fair number of devices then i'd look at a OTA MDM, something like Tarmac/Zenprise/Casper Suite/Maas 360/Airwatch/Meraki - prices vary drastically though and obviously i'd trial a few systems. | |

No it isn't Ed as 1. I don't have a Mac and 2. I need to use more than 30 devices and 3. I want it OTA | |

All depends on what you want to achieve. Reporting? Usage? blocking certain things? | |

After seeing the shocking state of what the kids do with our iPads at work (I've just taken on looking after them after my colleauge has gone off on peternity leave), I want to look into Mobile Device Management (MDM) for them. |
