@khurram sounds like the wireless payload has something incorrect or other things are needed to the payloads settings to take effect.

temporary solution to this problem is as follows.

• connect to WiFi using "other" SSID
• in JSS move the department from "ontoone-ipads" to "shared-ipads" and then back to "onetoone-ipads"

you will notice that all the configuration profiles take effect, in our case like followings.

• Exchange
• Webclips
• Restrictions
• WiFi

etc

Now move from "other" SSID to "student" and delete "other" SSID from the ipad.

all is well but I am trying to stop this from happening in first place.

It sounds like it will be the security type, password poor something along g those lines in the wireless payload.

It will normally connect straight away to the wireless network if it has the details in a profile.

Other possibility is that whatever network it is initially using to receive the profile via MDM is being remembered.

I take it you're using WPA-PSK?

As a side-check. Make sure you don't have another configuration with the SSID set up on it as well. You'll generally see this conflict in an Apple Configurator / Wireless setup, but its worth taking a look at just in case.

Is there a wireless payload being installed via Apple Configurator as well? Are they the same SSID?

EDIT: Oops didn't see the comment above. I agree, we found issues with what he mentions as well in that scenario.
