Hi, I have a profile currently assigned to all users in my organization that I would like to phase out. Is there a way to keep the profile installed on all devices where it is currently installed, but stop it from being installed on newly enrolled devices?
If accecptable: change install mode of profile from auto to manual. Then, the profile will not be auto installed on new device. But keep in mind that users with new devices are able to manually install the profile through Intelligent Hub or Self service portal
Regular way to do that is to create smart groups . That would mean you have to split the total group of devices, between already enrolled and to be enrolled devices.

Hi! Also a very interesting question for us. The statement from VMWare we received was that either deactivation or deletion will remove profiles from enrolled devices. For us its also not clear why there's no function to deactivate a profile and enrolled devices will not change and new devices will not get the profile? Especially if it comes to Wifi profiles you are VERY imited. Happy if someone can proof this to be possible.
When already having an SG-I (Smart Group -One) with members A, B, C , D, E. For example: C and D should not get the profile Create a new SG-II with C and D. On the profile attached to the SG-I , exclude SG-II
Changing the profile from ' Auto' to ' Optional' is a good idea, I did a quick test and the device with the profile installed stayed unchanged. Thank you Wilbert. This is an acceptable solution, very few of our users use the Self service portal.
You're welcome, I'm glad to help you out. Be informed that the solution of Johan V. will be a more persistent and long term solution, this is just a quick win. But it can help in a certain situations. Have a great day!
