Old BYOD put on JSS

[avargas]

Hi Everyone,

We are starting a 1 to 1 here at our district and are moving along smoothly. However, previously, we had instituted a BYOD program. Now we are thinking of putting those devices (BYOD) on JSS to be managed in case any students/parents want to use the devices they purchased. Have any of you ever had a case like this? What steps have you taken?

I was thinking of creating a smart group and manually adding the BYOD devices to that group.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

it kind of depends on how much stuff your managing on these devices. if its only light management then you might want to check out the personal device profiles section in the administrators guide http://docs.jamfsoftware.com/9.9/casper-suite/administrator-guide/Personal_Device_Profiles.html

If your looking to control a bit more of the settings then the other way that my school has done it in the past is by creating a smart group and scoping the configuration to it. If you name the devices with a prefix like "BYOD" you can setup rules to make the device's auto populate into this group when they are enrolled...
