Bulk actions for schools – erase device, clear passcodes

[JamesG1]

Hi, we have many thousands of iPads spanning 32 different schools and each summer has been a chore to wipe the devices en masse. There is currently not a bulk command to do this. Selective Wipe under Quarantine leaves photos etc.

If this is not possible to add in to the Command menu, does someone have a Python script to do this using the API?

Thanks,

James

...also if there was a script we'd need to have a way to limit the scope to student devices and not staff.

It would be wonderful to have both of these features available through the dashboard so we can utilize tags/select the iPads we want. If there was some way to do this through the API that would be okay as well.

This should get you started with the API.

Looks like you could pull this together with some loops iterating through arrays. (You know... like most Python Meraki scripts.)

https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs#list-the-devices-enrolled-in-an-sm-network-with-various-specif... <-- call this and filter by the tag you use for student devices. Shove the results in a variable.

Make an array of the ID numbers or serial numbers.
