I have several hundred Groove 52ac devices to update, configure and install digital certificates on. Is there a way to do this in bulk ie. connect 24 of them at a time to a switch and have them reach out to some sort of distribution point where they could automatically fetch a firmware update and apply a standard configuration file?

Thanks

There should be possible to install custom default script during netinstall.

Or you can put a RSC file with the script and reset the device with no defaults followed by automatic script running to set a device as you wish automatically.
