An org’s network requires non-personal devices (think digital signage, inventory scanners, etc...) to be bound to a set network using MAC address. That then requires “Private Wi-Fi Address” to be disabled on all the iOS devices otherwise the device MAC does not match up to the registered MAC.
For these type devices, I have a config set to disable “Private Wi-Fi Address” but that only comes through AFTER the device is enrolled (and gets internet access of course). With a random MAC, the device cannot do the initial out of box activation and eventually times out. I can get around all of that with a USB ethernet dongle, which allows the device to get online, enroll, get wifi config settings etc... but that is time consuming.
Does anyone know of a way to disable the private wi-fi address setting when you first connect a device to wifi out of the box?
I have tried backing out on the setup screen and holding the wifi name in question to try and bring up options, but so far no luck. I know I have seen some type of "Advanced Options" related to wifi at setup, but I cannot get it to manually appear and am hoping there is some direct access for it.
