Is there a way to install iOS 11.2 beta on an iPad that is stuck in lost mode? This iPad is not able to get out of the lost mode from the JSS commands. I believe I have the beta profile on this iPad but it is my understanding that one needs to tap on the profile to start the installation. Is this correct?
Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Yeah once the beta profile is actually on the device, you have to go to Settings and manually pull a Software Update. As far as I know this can't be done remotely. (I haven't tested trying to trigger a software update from the JSS on a device with a beta profile, but my guess is that nothing would happen since the software update in question is a beta...but that might be a fun test)
