Reassigning a Device to a Different MDM Server

When reassigning a device to a different MDM server, does that device need to be factory reset to pick up the new configuration or will the configuration apply to the current status?


For information, moving from Intune to Jamf.

For iOS/iPadOS/tvOS, the new MDM will take place upon wiping and setting up again.


For macOS, you can remove the profile from the device using the existing MDM, then run:

sudo profiles renew -type enrollment


This will trigger the new MDM profile to install.


Ideally, you can stage that command in a script with a launchdaemon that looks for the MDM profile to be installed. If the MDM profile is missing, then the command could trigger and install the profile. I use a workflow like this to keep devices in compliance.
