Managing Duplicate Devices

This section is applicable to iOS and Windows 8 devices.

Before Ivanti EPMM version 10.6.0.0, duplicate devices with an "active" state were retired. From Ivanti EPMM version 10.6.0.0 or supported newer versions, administrators can set duplicate active devices to the “Unknown” status by selecting Enable managing duplicate devices.

Removal of device records from the Ivanti EPMM database applies to the following retired device types:

Active Devices with no device details (iOS and Windows 8 devices)
Devices with no subject holder (iOS and Windows 8 devices)
Devices with the below statuses (iOS Only)
- Enrollment Verified
- Enrolling
- Enrolled

Ivanti EPMM also supports Daily, Weekly and Monthly options for scheduling this feature.

Ivanti EPMM matches devices by device type. Ivanti EPMM uses various device information to determine whether a device is a duplicate or not. For information on finding devices by device type for Apple User Enrollment, see Apple documentation.
