We have a New Mac Pro that will host our JSS and run Netinstall. When we set our current production server up last year we weren't using a DNS name in the JSS URL. I know, what were we thinking? I got all of my Mac devices point ed to the DNS name (https://your.jss.name.com:8443) rather that the server name (
https://server1.xxx.xxx:8443. I created a policy for the Computers (/usr/sbin/jamf createConf -server your.jss.xxx.xxx), tested and that piece is good but I'm concerned about the iOS devices. I was told by my support rep that all the iOS devices have to be re-enrolled. Of course, not thrilled about that since I need to get this new Pro in production ASAP. Just wondering if anyone has some tricks up their sleeve on this one?

Upon thinking about it more we just named the new server the same al the old server, with the same DNS as well. All computer and mobile devices functioning properly with the new server
