I’m currently playing around with MDM and I’m looking for a way to automatically reapply a fixlet that installs an iOS configuration profile, when it becomes relevant again. I’ve set up the settings for that in the fixlet, but the fixlet is not reapplied again.
I’m using an automatic computer group to select all iPhones. The fixlet get’s correctly applied the first time. After that, I remove that policy from the device and I was thinking, the fixlet should become relevant again, as the profile has been removed from the device.
But that’s obviously not the case. Then I stopped the action for that profile and restarted it after a few minutes and then, the fixlet became relevant and was applied.
Reapply currently doesn’t work for the proxy agent component (which is part of the iOS maangement extender)… You can see this in the warning icon when you selevct the device in the take action dialog… however, we are working now to enable that functionality (should be available soon).
In the meantime, in your profile example, if you want to make sure that the user keeps it installed, why not set the profile so that it can’t be removed by the user?
