Vorsicht bei iOS 9.2 und MDM-Systemen wie Intune

Seit einigen Tagen ist ja iOS 9.2 für iPhone und iPad verfügbar.

Microsoft warnt aktuell vor dem Update, wenn das iOS Gerät an Intune angebunden ist.

Apple’s recent iOS 9.2 release introduced errors affecting MDM functionality. This issue affects Microsoft Intune, and has been widely reported across multiple Mobile Device Management (MDM) providers. Microsoft engineers are working directly with Apple to assist in resolution of this issue.
Action requested: Please advise end users to defer upgrading their devices to iOS 9.2 until the issue has been resolved.
Impact details: The impact to an iOS 9.2 device managed by Intune will include:

  • Managed application installations are affected
  • Managed application status information will not be reported
  • Compliant/Non-Compliant application information for customers using app whitelist and blacklist policies will not be reported
  • Compliance checks initiated from Intune Company Portal on the device will fail
  • Device syncs initiated from Intune Company Portal on the device will fail
  • New configuration policies created by the admin will not be enforced
  • If devices are compliant, they will continue to be compliant and will be allowed by Conditional Access
  • If devices are not compliant and brought into compliance, they won’t update their status and will be blocked by Conditional Access

For the latest information on this issue, head to the Intune Status dashboard or the Intune blog.

Ok, das ist jetzt kein Totalausfall aber dennoch sollte man darauf achten und möglichst keine Updates auf iOS 9.2 machen.

Ähnliche Probleme dürften übrigens auch andere MDM-Lösungen haben.

Ich versuche auch, die Situation im Blick zu behalten und euch zu informieren, sobald es hierzu etwas Neues gibt!
