Hi Everyone,
I wanted to discuss few important topics.
1. If you are using an Mobile Device Management solution, please take a moment to determine the Apple Push Notification Certificate expiration date and the AppleID used to create the certificate. If this certificate expires, the connection between the MDM and the enrolled devices will break.
This certificate needs to be renewed once per year. I would suggest creating a reminder at the 11 month period to perform the renewal.
2. Important…..AppleID for Students is scheduled to close in June 2016 and will be replaced with Managed Apple IDs. Managed Apple IDs is a new type of AppleID for education. More information about these IDs can be found here. http://www.apple.com/education/preview/
If you are using the AppleID for Student portal and/or kiosk to generate AppleID’s please contact me off list so we can discuss the transition. IDs created using the AppleID for Students will continue to work after June 2016, but districts will not be able to reset passwords. Any open invitations to create ID’s will be voided after the closure.
Another great step in preparing for this transition is to leverage device based app assignment vs. user based app assignment. Most major MDM vendors now support device based app assignment. As always, I am more than happy to discuss MDM options, if needed.
It is really important to get in front of this transition so that summer deployments are a smooth as possible.
Thanks everyone and as always, please let me know if you have any further questions or needs,
Regards,
Marc Melkonian, Systems Engineer
