Might be a silly question but can you have multiple Push Certificates on the go at the same time?

Curious what you're trying to do, since I'm pretty sure an MDM server can only have one APNS cert.

When APNS became a thing, our ability to ran multi context JSS servers got sacked.

I sort of thought that would be the case. I made the schoolboy error of creating a new APNS cert instead of renewing. So 100 plus devices stopped communicating. Fortunately I was able to find the original AppleID I used to create the cert and went through the renew process and everything sprang back to life...bar one device which I had enrolled [during that very short time] with the "wrong" APNS cert. Unfortunately, despite this just being one device, it belongs to a VIP at the organisation and they are totally reluctant to give me the device back to re-enrol. I used pre-stage as well so the whole thing needs to be wiped as I understand it. I was hoping that I could have both APNS certs running simultaneously in order to keep ALL devices going.
