Meraki MDM Apple Push Certificate Expiring. What happens to iPads after expiring.

[AaronTeh]

Hello, I have a Meraki MDM Apple Push Certificate that is expiring.

Can I double check if the iPads enrolled will continue to work as normal even if the Meraki MDM Apple Push Certificate expires?

I would advise getting that profile updated before it expires, otherwise you will have to re-enroll all of your devices.

You do not under any circumstances want to let it expire. I believe if you do, you lose all functionality to control the iPads through the Dashboard until they are re-enrolled.

Hi @vassallon 

Thanks for the update. Got 2 more questions:

1) If I want to use a new Apple Push Certificate, will I still need to reenrol all the devices? Do you have a KB on that process?

2) Just in case some iPads get missed during the reenrolment process after the current Apple Push Certificate expires, will the iPads still work as per normal (but I just cannot remotely manage them)?

@AaronTeh,

1. It appears that based on the Meraki Documentation you will need to re-enroll all of the devices.

2. Yes, the iPads will continue to function but will not longer receive commands or update in the Meraki Dashboard until they are fixed.
