We have 3 different departments, in which students get iPads for their Graduate School program. Each of the departments have different apps assigned to them based on their department. Our LDAP directory does not have a Departments field that populates in jamf. I have been using manually set Departments as the way we have organized the apps for deployments. I want to use the require login as part of the PreStage, but if I do so I lose the ability to automatically assign to a Department.
I also use separate PreStages for each of the school years and for each department so that when they graduate I can easily get the list of students for that graduation class so I can unmanage their devices as they keep them when they graduate.
What is the best way to:
1. Require Login during enrollment (to populate user information) so I can print a list of serial numbers and their assigned users.
2. Assign a department so that the users get the correct apps
I was thinking of doing Inventory Preload, but I don't want to have to hand specific devices out to specific people. We are trying to simplify our workflow so we don't have to put specific serial numbers on contracts and when students come in we can hand them any iPad in our inventory. We previously would assign iPads beforehand and hand them out that way.
