Troubleshooting: Activation errors and issues

Activation errors

Error
Possible solution
Device activation can't be completed because the server is out of licenses. For assistance, contact your administrator.
In the
UEM
management console, verify that licenses are available. If necessary, activate licenses or purchase additional licenses.
Profile failed to install. The certificate "AutoMDMCert.pfx" could not be imported.
This error is displayed on an
iOS
device when a profile already exists on the device.
Go to
Settings > General > Profiles
on the device and verify that a profile already exists. Remove the profile and try to activate again. If the issue persists, you might have to reset the device because data might be cached.
Profile Installation Failed: The new MDM payload does not match the old payload.
This error is displayed on an
iOS
device when a profile already exists on the device.
Go to
Settings > General > Profiles
on the device and verify that a profile already exists. Remove the profile and try to activate again. If the issue persists, you might have to reset the device because data might be cached.
Error 3007: Server is not available.
This error can occur if the certificate that
UEM
uses to sign the MDM profile that it sends to an
iOS
device is not trusted by the device (the user is prompted to trust this certificate when they activate the device). In an on-premises environment, install the root certificate for the CA that issued the certificate. See Changing the certificates that BlackBerry UEM uses for authentication in the Configuration content.
This error can also occur if you configure a transparent proxy such as Blue Coat that monitors port 443 for non-standard traffic and the
UEM Client
cannot make the required HTTP CONNECT and HTTP OPTIONS calls to
UEM
. Verify that your proxy configuration is not blocking the
UEM Client
from making these calls.
Unable to contact server, please check connectivity or server address.
This error can occur if the username (or customer address if registration with the
BlackBerry Infrastructure
was disabled) was not entered correctly or if the activation password has not been set or has expired.
Verify that the username, password, and customer address (if applicable) is accurate, or set a new activation password with
UEM Self-Service
and try again.

Activation issues

Issue
Possible solution
iOS
or
macOS
device activations fail with an invalid APNs certificate.
The APNs certificate may not be registered correctly.
Perform one or more of the following actions:
  • In the management console, on the menu bar, click
    Settings > External integration > Apple Push Notification
    . Verify that the APNs certificate status is "Installed." If the status is not correct, try to register the APNs certificate again.
  • To test the connection between
    UEM
    and the APNs server, click
    Test APNS certificate
    .
  • If necessary, obtain a new signed CSR from
    BlackBerry
    , and request and register a new APNs certificate. For more information, see Obtaining an APNs certificate to manage iOS and macOS devices in the Configuration content.
Users do not receive the activation email.
If users are using a third-party mail server, email messages from
UEM
can be marked as spam and end up in the spam email folder or the junk mail folder.
The user details screen in
UEM
is showing more activated
Windows
devices than expected.
When a user installs
BlackBerry Access
and
BlackBerry Work
for
Windows
on a computer, these apps display as a
Windows
device on the user details screen. This is expected behavior.
