Support for Windows under Meraki Systems Manager is poor. Profiles (settings) that change device-specific settings (such as Wi-Fi SSIDs) cannot be pushed to a managed device unless the user who enrolled the device is logged in and has admin privileges. Yes, that's right. And what if you have more than one user on the same device? Well, that sure is a good question.   Basically, the only thing SM is good for on Windows is remote access and keeping track of the devices. Pushing profiles, which is easily done for macOS and iOS, is essentially impossible for anything important. Use group policy instead. ... View more

Well, that's certainly an approach, and I can see how it would work. Rather defeats the purpose of bothering with an MDM, of course.   It's not dissimilar to the way I run our macOS fleet, installing apps via Munki even though they're enrolled in Meraki. That's mainly legacy, because I simply haven't bothered to make all the apps available to the Meraki Systems Manager. However, the salient point is that, if I did, I could push apps out to my Macs from Meraki and it would just work — whereas doing the same for Windows clients is effectively impossible.   (Also unlike the Windows clients, having the Macs enrolled in Meraki even though I use Munki for apps still makes sense, since I can push profiles out and make changes to them even if they're just sitting there at the login screen. We simply assumed this would work for Windows as well, and, clearly, we were wrong.)   But thanks for the suggestion. ... View more

The Meraki client service should be running in the background with admin privileges that allow it to make changes even when no user is logged in. Clearly this is possible, as any number of services run when there is no user logged in.   If that's not possible for you to implement, then Meraki MDM is next to useless for Windows devices, and I will recommend to our technology director and administration that we cancel our Meraki contracts as soon as feasible and move to some other MDM. ...

I'm also going to note that 'kudos' is singular, not plural, and does not refer to a countable quality; there is no such word as 'kudo'. In exactly the same way that you do not give someone a 'congratulation', you do not give someone a 'kudo'. But, anyway.... ... View more

As noted elsewhere in this thread, that is precisely what Meraki have gotten wrong. There are settings on Windows that are device-specific, not user-specific, and these need to be pushed out regardless of who happens to be logged in at any given moment. Wi-Fi passwords are one such setting; there are numerous others. The Meraki MDM model for pushing profiles to Windows devices is broken; it works correctly for macOS and iOS. ... View more

We continue to be unable to perform as simple an operation as changing the password on our SSID thanks to our inability to push changes out to Windows devices. I continue to be stunned at Meraki's lack of response to this issue. ... View more

Yes, it all works just fine for Macs and iPads. Sigh. ... View more
