Unable to remove device management from iPad

[ArranFlynn]

Hi there,

I deleted an iPad from Systems Manager > Devices and I can't seem to be able to remove the Management profile from the device now. I can't even seem to re-add it to Devices.

I have tried 'Reset all Settings' from the iPad itself, Recovery mode reset from iTunes, and Restore from iTunes.

Every time I reset the device it just prompts me with a login screen titled 'Remote Management' 'Invalid network ID'.

I have added a new owner via the Systems Manager > Configure > Owners but when entering these details I get the message 'Your credentials are either missing or wrong. Try again.'

What can I do? We now have a device we are unable to use.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Arran

It sounds like the device still has DEP settings assigned to it, so it is still getting the Remote Management pane during iOS Setup Assistant for automatic device enrollment. To remove those settings, either "Remove" the settings in SM > DEP page (so you see the DEP settings as "Empty"). Or completely release the device from Apple's School or Business Manager portal. Upon next factory reset, the device should setup without the Remote Management screen.

But is there a way to remove it without the dashboard? I'm having the same problem with mine but it just says "cancelled"; And from what i've heard about the devices i have they don't exist to the inventory anymore and they've been removed from the Management Interfase. But on the devices they're still on there.

Without the Dashboard you can remove the Meraki Management Profile inside the device's Settings application. On iOS this is in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > Meraki Systems Manager > Remove Management. If you do not see the Remove Management button, the device was probably deployed as a company-owned device and cannot be removed unless the device is removed from business.apple.com and then factory reset. There's a SM > ADE settings flag for "Removable" which can control if end users are allowed to remove their own management profiles or not.
