Invalid profile after resetting device to prepare for Maas360 MDM

I have a device that is assigned to Maas360 in Apple Business Manager. After wiping the device, after the Remote Management screen that correctly indicates the organization I get an 'Invalid Profile' error. How do I correct this error?


Thanks in advance!

Greetings, lilyvd.


Review your settings to ensure that your MDM is setup as expected:


“Plan your configuration profiles for Apple devices


Configuration profile and payload planning helps reduce complexity. To make your work easier, follow these mobile device management (MDM) best practices before you begin deploying configuration profiles:

  • A configuration profile can have more than one payload.

  • A device can have more than one configuration profile.

  • On a Mac, you can combine user configuration profiles with device configuration profiles.

  • If you have multiple configuration profiles containing similar payloads with different settings, the resulting behavior is undefined. On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, if there are conflicting restrictions, the more restrictive one wins.

  • Some payloads can have more than one unique payload. For example, a Certificates payload often involves more than one certificate, and a VPN payload may involve more than one VPN setting.

Here are some examples of optimized payload management:

  • If you want to manage an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, use the same payloads for all the devices.

  • If you want to manage only iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices (or users of those devices), focus on iOS and iPadOS payloads.

  • If you want to manage only Mac computers or users of Mac computers, focus on macOS payloads, then decide if your management should be at the device or user level.

You can create a single configuration profile that contains all the payloads you need—for example, for different apps and settings, such as Mail, Safari, Bluetooth, andWi-Fi.” Plan your configuration profiles for Apple devices 


Should the issue continue, contact your local IT department for assistance. 


We hope this helps! 


Sincerely.
