It's this sort of support nightmare that keeps us waiting for Apple to fix their problem. It's great that WLAN vendors are creatively coming up with work-arounds but I have yet to find gadget/method/paradigm/unicorn dust that both satisfies the technical and administrative challenges of devices that just aren't ready to play on business networks. But like everyone else, I'm hoping for sunnier days soon:)

If so how are you dealing with the time sync issue when the apple tv loses power?” Is that we don’t deal with it very well. I met with our technical team yesterday and we are planning to limit the mDNS service to our 802.1x SSID only. As you know, to bootstrap the device to an 802.1x network, you need to plug in an Ethernet cable first to get the time set and then unplug the cable to switch over to WIFi. If the device loses power, you need to repeat the sequence. There is no current workaround that I’m aware of. Either we find a way to make the device happy to think it is living at the dawn of unix epoch or we wait for apple’s promised fall 2013 ATV code upgrade to fix change things. -Scott From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Hurt,Trenton W.

I wanted it to get the latest Bonjour configuration running. Apple TV pilot project is going well. -Scott From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Legge, Jeffry Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 12:59 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC 7.4.100.60(Beta Version) Is anyone running this release?
