After a recent phone call with apple, it seems that the ipads we've been using mdm with for the last 3 years aren't set up correctly.  I have been using meraki for DEP and pushing apps. Up until now, once the device syncs to the meraki it has asked to sign in with an apple id so the meraki can download the apps. I had created a generic apple id that I signed into on all the ipads, 100 of them.  These ipads are used by K-1 students who don't sign in in any way, and all the ipads are identical.   Anyway, we have always had the annoyance of frequent pop ups asking to sign in. Recently the account is frozen any time I enter the password, which is why I contacted apple. The rep told me an account can't have more than 10 ipads, I should use school manager, etc. etc.   I have been playing with changing how the ipads receive apps and have no problem changing the way we deploy apps by switching to school manager and VPP and assigning the apps by device. However, I am wondering what appleid I should enter or if there is a way to not use one at all.   So far it seems that until I enter an appleid, the meraki pauses and won't push out all the settings. I have gone through the deployment guide and don't see any mention of what to do. I assume I shouldn't use a regular account since that can only be used on 10 ipads. I created a managed account, which works, but keeps popping up a message that it isn't authorized to purchase anything.  Ideally, if  there is a way to get the device to sync without entering any appleid, that would be preferred.  ...
