IPad – Can’t get WiFi Payloads to iPad using Apple Configurator

I have 400 iPads I need to prep and am having a couple issues. I was hoping somebody could give me a bit of advice..

Question

• How can I verify the WiFi payloads are copied to the iPad?

Background

• Apple Configurator 1.5
• I received a backup config from the customer
• I also received their settings in case the restore didn’t work.
• Of the settings I’m concentrating on two to verify the restore worked, or a manual config and prepare worked. Those are verifying an app was installed, and wifi payloads.
• When I restore using the supplied *.iosdevicebackup file neither the app or the wifi settings are on the iPad
• I configured iTunes for the customers account -> downloaded the app -> imported into the Apps tab of the Configurator program and now get that loaded, but I can’t confirm the wifi payloads.
• have 3 wifi payloads configured in the setup tab -> wifi section. 2 are for the customers wifi and the 3rd is for our in-house wifi just for sanity’s sake. Each are configured with ssid and WPA / password, but when the IPad is restarted after the prepare I would assume I would see all 3 networks and the iPad would connect to our in-house network automatically as it's the only one available. But I only see a list of available networks, and I’m asked for a password when I try to connect to our in-house one. I thought that was what the payload was for.
• I also tried making a profile and setting the wifi payloads up there, same result.
• I’ve been speaking with the local apple store, and while polite and professional, not much help..
• When I try to do a manual prepare my settings -> Restore value is Don't resort backup. If I have that set to the backup I received I get an error when trying to customize the device at the end of the update.
• I also tried only 1 wifi payload, our in-house WiFi. Same results. I'm asked for a login / password when I try to connect.
