iCloud Restore Breaks Remote Management - iOS 11.X.X
I am a part of an enterprise that leverages Apple's device enrollment program. We are in the process of transitioning from one MDM provider to another. I am attempting to establish a pilot program for the migration and am having users back up their device via iCloud. Afterwards i have them go to settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings. This factory resets the device and brings it back to the first time setup screen. While the phone is resetting I I reassign the device via serial number in deploy.apple.com, initiate a sync with the enrollment program in the MDM solution and then assign the DEP profile to the device. Once the device is wiped I have the DEP profile configured to allow restore from iCloud backup. The expected behavior is that the restore completes, the phone reboots and then you are at the remote management screen and in order to continue with first time setup you have to enter network credentials to authenticate. The actual behavior is that the device is bypassing the remote management screen and going straight to the home screen without a management profile installed. This occurs on both MDMs we currently use, but didn't start occurring until iOS 11 when we had to modify the DEP profiles to not skip the Apple ID sign in for the restore from iCloud option to become visible once more. If I choose to setup the devices as new, I get to the remote management screen as intended. But as of now Apple's device enrollment program devices can be bypassed as long as the user has an Apple ID with an iCloud backup to restore from. My question is, are there any others in the enterprise environment experiencing the same thing?
