An iPad fleet used for building inspections cannot run a Windows-only vendor wireless utility. What is the correct takeaway?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A Windows-only vendor utility is a PC wrench — it will not magically fit an iPad bolt. Match the config method to the OS: Settings, MDM, or an iPad-capable app. The tablets can still join the same secure SSID.
Full Explanation
Client configuration utilities are often OS-specific. A Windows-only vendor tool will not run on iPadOS, so technicians must use built-in iPadOS wireless settings, mobile device management profiles, or vendor apps that support iOS/iPadOS. OS limits on utilities do not mean iPads cannot use modern WPA2/WPA3 SSIDs shared with Windows. Replacing tablets with desktops solely to run a Windows utility is unnecessary when supported iPad configuration paths exist.
