Change Wi-Fi settings on supervised iOS devices confgured for App Lock to differnet network

  • 1.  Change Wi-Fi settings on supervised iOS devices confgured for App Lock to differnet network

    Posted 03/23/23 10:17 AM

    We have wifi only ipads currently configured with APP lock on a specific WIFI network.  We need to change them to different WIFI network, now.   

     

    I have been advised I have to connect them to the original WIFI Network change the policy to one without app lock, take them to the new network, connect and then change the policy back to the APP lock policy.  Is there any other way to accomplish this?

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Mitch

    Hope you're well. 

    While I've seen such scenarios before, I don't think there is any magic bullet here. 

    The alternative is manual configuration which as you would expect, will be more time consuming and frustrating. 

    I suggest you proceed with your original proposed sequence of actions. 

    Interested to see if anyone else has such an experience and lessons learned. 

    Best
