+18I see lots of posts about the difficulty of clearing forgotten passcodes since the iPads no longer connect to wi-fi after going to sleep for a period of time, resulting in a DFU as the fix - but I did not see anything about whether we could block students entirely from entering a passcode on the iPad? Is that possible?
Thanks!

Yes, you can create a configuration profile to restrict Modifying passcode under Restrictions -> Functionality and assign it to your student devices. You could then do a search and perform a mass action to clear the passcodes from those devices.
This will remove the passcode from the devices and prevent the students from setting it again.

+18Hot diggity! Thanks, that language in the policy was a little less than intuitive to me...can't modify it unless it has been created first...hence my question. I did a quick test and that solves it!
Our prestage it set to only show Location Services to the user, so the other suggestion should already be handled.
THANKS!
