Chromebooks not showing as Chrome o/s

New school year. For our wireless, all but seven student chromebooks are showing as "Other" for the o/s and not "Chrome os" as in previous years. It really helps us troubleshoot when we can sort by o/s and verify students are using the proper device.  Something I need to check somewhere? Thx.

Hey @MisG 

 

We pull the information from the HTTP user-agent string, explained here:

https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Group_Policies_and_Block_Lists/Applying_Policies_by_Device_Type#...
Have the devices send an HTTP Get first and if it doesn't auto-resolve you can take a PCAP to see what they are reporting in that field
