      I think that LanDesk might be what you are looking for:

      http://www.landesk.com/products/management-suite/

      It handles Mac.

          I'll check that out, I checked out Centrify. Centrify told me "it isn't going to be a good fit because we require a minimum of 50 computers, and you only need to manage 5 of them."

              I got Profile Manager setup and configured. But it doesn't push the profile. Talking to Apple but I bet this is going to be a dead end. Also looking into LanDesk.

                LanDesk offers self service support options, too, which are pretty sweet.

                    LanDesk does a LOT. It is used extensively by the tech support guys here -- for both Mac and Windows... Sadly, that's about all the info I have for you there.

                      I'm guessing they are probably going to be way out of our price range for this project since we're not interested in roping our Windows workstations into a new product.

                        Why does it need to be pushed out? for 5 computers? You said it needs to be connected to wifi based on device not user.. So just connect it manually. and if you need something to control it 802.1x is how. Pushing out wifi settings via GPO is not a method of controlling which devices have access anyway, that's just making it easier so techs don't have to help users connect.
