Remove an enrollment profile manually

You can remove an enrollment profile from a device manually if the device was not enrolled via Automated Device Enrollment.

If you manually remove the enrollment profile directly from a device, it is not communicated to N-sight RMM and the device reports as active until it is deleted using the N-sight RMM user interface.

Remove an enrollment profile from a macOS device

To perform a clean manual enrollment profile removal on macOS devices running Device Management for Apple, we recommend you first uninstall the Mac Agent and then delete the enrollment profile from the device. For more information, see Uninstall the Mac Agent.

If you remove the enrollment profile from a device that is still running the Mac Agent and Device Management for Apple has the Enrollment Helper enabled, the end user is prompted to enroll again.

  1. On the macOS device, go to System Preferences > Profiles. The Profiles option is not available until there is at least one profile installed on the computer.
  2. Select your enrollment Profile.

  3. Click the Remove icon (—) at the bottom of the dialog and then click Remove to confirm removal.

    4. Deleting the enrollment profile deletes all configuration profiles on the device.
