Security Policies for Lost / Stolen / Damaged Devices
- When a technology has been recorded as “Lost” or “Stolen” a secure management profile is installed rendering the device as useless for resale or personal use.
- After a TJS device has been “wiped”, the screen will display “Hello” and look like it is able to be sold or kept for personal use.
- During the setup process, the TJS management profile will be activated and ask for Active Directory credentials. Device setup cannot continue unless active and valid credentials are provided.
- If the device has been recorded as lost/stolen/damaged in Fuji/Destiny and valid Active Directory credentials are provided, the iPad will go into “Lost” mode and be rendered useless.
- Devices and accessories are not able to be sold or repurposed for personal use.
