Getting an MDM cert from Apple isn't an issue as we are registered as an Apple developer Have a look at Meraki, iirc they do a free product although you might have to register and administrate each device individually. 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. [Edited on 06-07-2012 by Dom]

	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]

	quote: Originally posted by VrsTurbo Going to struggle tbh! How? Most MDM's cover Pow's specifications :lol: Pow - Also note, if you're using profile based MDM's (some use an app-agent) then you'll need to grab a MDM certificate from Apple. And iirc (could be wrong), i think John did a MDM rollout a while back for iOS at his place.

	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. I believe Microsoft System Center 2012 also support MDM. I briefly looked into this a year or so back and the big issue i had was if the MDM used profiles then a user could potentially delete the profile and the device could be wiped. Not sure if Apple have corrected it since.

	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 VRSTurbo - deploying apps and blocking things mainly, not bothered by usage (we get feedback from staff about that). [Edited on 06-07-2012 by pow]

	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. Anyone have any experience? Dom, Willay, VRSTurbo?
