Hello,

we recently have the problem that the commands coming from Jamf Pro are stuck on the “pending” status. Not too long ago i tried to unmanage an iphone, which worked. But now its not possible to unenroll or to initiate commands in general without them being pending.

Thank you in advance, i will put a screenshot of the problem as an example.

Kind regards,

Siraj

 

I’ve had this happen a while back when my APNs certificate was expired. could that be the case?


When was the last inventory date of the device in question?  I know that if it goes longer than say a year, the communication certificate will have expired and MDM commands will fail to work.


Seen something similar. We had a small set of iOS devices where the MDM Profile certificate didn’t get renewed, for whatever reason.

I created a smart group to let me know via email which devices have the MDM Profile expire within 30 days.

Is it possible the MDM Profile expired? Can check the device record: MDM Profile Expiration Date.


I’ve had this before where so many commands got stuck that I created an inventory report of all devices and hit “actions” and cancel all management commands. then everything went through.

This is true….only if devices are checking in properly.

Where can i look this up?

Thats interesting, how do i do that?

from the one in the screenshot, the last inventory date was in april. There are several devices with a last inventory date longer than 3 month, only a handful are recent ones.

the apn is not expired but i might renew it, however it says that it wont work on existing devices in jamf anymore if i renew it as far as i understood?


For mobile devices, always check that the Date and Time on the device is not in the “future”…. :)
