I’m wondering if there’s a way to enable lost mode on a group of iPads in JAMF School. Using the admin interface you have to click on each iPad one at a time and then enable lost mode. We have a number of iPads left over from last school year that need to be retired this year and I want to disable them with a message to return them to our Helpdesk staff. I figure the best way to do this would be to enable Lost Mode. Is there a bulk way to do this? Maybe with an API? I couldn't find anything about this with a casual search.
Or is there any workflows that would make this more efficient?
As per the title I was looking for a solution for Jamf School. I heard back from support and they have informed me that this is not possible at this time but a feature request exists and is currently in review.
I don't have any mobile devices to confirm this but on the Mac, if you have a smart group with whatever criteria you have, you can send a remote command action to those macs which includes locking the device. So, create a smart device group and see if that works.

I already do have a smart device group matched on the device models we are retiring. However, how do you issue remote commands through a device group? Are you thinking of Jamf Pro. I know I can do that kind of stuff in Jamf Pro but I can't see how to initiate locking a device in any bulk way. You can select multiple devices in the Devices > Devices, but locking a device doesn't seem to be an option.
