What happens to apps left on device when unenrolling (BYOD)?

[jriker]

We have a scenario I wasn't expecting.  So basically we are eliminating JAMF and going with InTune.  Know not a new story.  However as this was never expected, all BYO devices have "our" apps set to remove on unenroll and were installed thru VPP.  This is going to cause a lot of issues as the individuals aren't leaving but being asked to unenroll and then enroll in a different MDM.  If we set the apps to not uninstall when unenroll, what would happen?  So the apps I guess stay behind but...

1. Will they keep working?

2. If they keep working will they stop eventually?

3. Will they be able to get app updates?

4. Will the apps magically get tied to their own iTunes account?

5. Depending on above, if a user goes into their Apple App Store and installs the app while already on the device what will happen?

Thanks.

If you are talking about a Mac, when you release from Jamf it will remove the MDM profile, and all profiles installed under that MDM profile, and Jamf deploys a package to remove the Jamf Framework. That is it, any applications installed will remain, any configurations set with a script will remain. App Store Apps should be removed and licenses reclaimed when the device checks in with apple. However, you really want to reimage a device when moving between MDM's.

For iOS anything the MDM installed should be removed if you have it configured to do so. 

At this point you really need to check with Microsoft Support for directions, and you will soon realize why I feel sorry for you. Cheers mate, and best of luck to you.
