Renewing Your Apple MDM Certificate for Intune

You can configure the Apple MDM push certificate in the Intune Admin Center, a necessary step for enrolling Apple devices in Intune. However, it’s crucial to renew the certificate, which has a one-year expiration. Administrators will receive notifications 30 days and then 10 days before it’s due to expire.

If the certificate is not renewed and it expires, generating and installing a new certificate becomes necessary. This, in turn, requires re-enrollment of all Apple devices.

Therefore, it’s more convenient to renew the certificate before it expires. I recommend noting down the certificate’s expiry date and setting a reminder in Outlook or any notification system you use to alert administrators about the impending certificate expiration.
