JAMF100 Device Enrollment 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: How long is an Apple Push Notification service (APNs) certificate valid?
- 1 year (Correct answer)
- 2 years
- 6 months
- 90 days
Correct answer: 1 year
APNs certificates expire after one year and must be renewed annually using the same Apple ID used to create them.
Question 2: What happens if an APNs certificate expires in Jamf Pro?
- Jamf Pro can no longer send push notifications to managed devices (Correct answer)
- All managed devices are automatically unenrolled from Jamf Pro
- Devices are wiped and must be re-enrolled from scratch
- Only iOS devices are affected; Macs continue working normally
Correct answer: Jamf Pro can no longer send push notifications to managed devices
An expired APNs certificate means Jamf Pro can no longer push commands to devices; devices will only act on policies at their next scheduled check-in.
Question 3: What is the Volume Purchase Program (VPP) / Apps and Books used for in Jamf Pro?
- Purchasing apps in bulk and distributing them to managed devices via ABM (Correct answer)
- Providing free app licenses to all enrolled devices automatically
- Managing in-house enterprise app distribution outside the App Store
- Replacing the App Store on supervised iOS devices
Correct answer: Purchasing apps in bulk and distributing them to managed devices via ABM
Apps and Books (formerly VPP) lets organizations buy app licenses in volume through ABM and assign them to managed devices or users via Jamf Pro.
Question 4: What is a mobile device PreStage Enrollment used for?
- Setting default configurations and MDM settings applied to iOS/iPadOS devices during ADE setup (Correct answer)
- Staging iPhone images for bulk deployment via Apple Configurator
- Creating a backup of device settings before a factory reset
- Pre-loading apps onto devices before they are handed to users
Correct answer: Setting default configurations and MDM settings applied to iOS/iPadOS devices during ADE setup
A mobile PreStage Enrollment in Jamf Pro defines the MDM server, setup assistant options, and management settings applied when an iOS device first activates via ADE.
Question 5: Can an Apple device become supervised after initial setup without erasing it?
- No — supervision can only be applied during a factory reset or initial setup (Correct answer)
- Yes — supervision can be applied via an MDM command at any time
- Yes — a Configuration Profile can enable supervision on any enrolled device
- Yes — Apple Business Manager can remotely enable supervision without a wipe
Correct answer: No — supervision can only be applied during a factory reset or initial setup
Supervision is applied at setup time, so enabling it on a device that has already been set up requires a factory reset or restoration via Apple Configurator.
Question 6: What Jamf Pro enrollment feature allows different enrollment configurations to be applied per department or site?
- PreStage Enrollment — multiple PreStages can be created and scoped differently (Correct answer)
- Smart Groups — used to assign enrollment settings post-enrollment
- Jamf Pro Sites — enforce department-level enrollment automatically
- LDAP integration — applies settings based on directory group membership
Correct answer: PreStage Enrollment — multiple PreStages can be created and scoped differently
Multiple PreStage Enrollment records can be created in Jamf Pro, each with different settings, and devices are assigned to a specific PreStage via ABM.
