Co-Management - Troubleshooting

  • I clicked the "Disable Activation Lock" action in the portal, but nothing happened on the device
    • This is expected behavior
  • Why don't I see the Disable Activation Lock code in the Hardware overview blade of my iOS/iPadOS device?
    • Use this query to check on the code: GET -https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/manageddevices('deviceId')?$select=activationLockBypassCode
  • Why is the Disable Activation Lock action greyed out from my iOS/iPadOS device?
    • The code has expired and been cleared from the service
    • The device isn't supervised with the Device Restriction Policy to allow Activation Lock
  • Why are my devices showing as Hybrid AAD joined, but None for MDM?
    • Did you have the required permissions and roles to configure co-management?
    • Which Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) hybrid identity option did you select?
    • What is your current MDM authority?
    • Did you install and configure Azure AD Connect?
    • Did you assign an Azure AD Premium license to the UPN that you used for configuration?
    • Did you assign Intune licenses to the users?
    • Did you configure hybrid Azure AD join for managed domains or federated domains?
    • Did you configure the Configuration Manager client agent settings for hybrid Azure AD join?
    • Did you configure auto-enrollment in your Intune tenant?
    • Did you enable co-management in Configuration Manager?
  • How do I tell who started a Retire/Wipe?
    • Under Tenant Administration -> Audit logs
    • Check the Initiated By column
  • Why is the CM collection not syncing with my AAD group?
    • Check the following:
      • Is Co-management completely set up?
      • Is your Azure AD user and user group discovery set up?
      • Is Configuration Manager enabled to sync with Azure AD groups?
      • Is your collection configured to sync to your Azure AD group?
      • Is your device hybrid Azure AD joined (Domain join + Azure AD registered)
      • Is your Configuration Manager set up for internet connectivity with connection to the URL's required for the sync?
  • What happens if I start a retire/wipe on an offline device or a device that hasn't communicated with the service in a while?
    • MDM certificate lasts for one year from enrollment and automatically renews every year
    • The device will remain in Retire/Wipe Pending state until the MDM certificate expires
    • 180 days after the MDM certificate expires, the device will be automatically removed from the Azure portal
  • Why can I sign back into my Office apps after my device was retired?
    • Retiring a device doesn't revoke access tokens
    • Conditional Access policies can mitigate this condition
  • Why wasn't my application uninstalled after using Retire?
    • The app was deployed as Required
    • The app was deployed as Available and then installed by the end user from within the Company Portal
  • Why is Wipe greyed out for Android Enterprise Work Profile devices?
    • This is expected behavior
  • I can't restart a Windows 10 device after using Wipe action?
    • Can be caused if you choose the "Wipe device and continue to wipe even if devices lose power" option - This might prevent some devices from starting up again
    • Can be caused when the installation of Windows has a major corruption that prevents the OS from reinstalling
  • I can't restart a BitLocker encrypted device after using the Wipe action?
    • Can be caused if you choose the "Wipe device and continue to wipe even if devices lose power" option on a BitLocker encrypted device
    • Use bootable media to reinstall Windows 10
  • Why do wipes sometimes show as Pending indefinitely?
    • Devices don't always report their status back before the reset was started. So, the action shows as pending even though it's not
    • If you've confirmed the action was successful, delete the device from the service
  • Why is the Reset Passcode action greyed out on my Android Device Admin enrolled device?
    • To protect from ransomware, Google removed the passcode reset feature on the Device Admin API
  • Why do I get a "Not Supported" message when I issue a passcode reset to my Android 8.0 or later personally owned work profile enrolled device?
    • The reset token hasn't been activated on the device
  • Why am I prompted to set a new passcode on my iOS/iPadOS device when I issue the Remove Passcode action?
    • One of the compliance policies requires a passcode
