Could the out-of-contact feature in SOTI MobiControl be used to retrieve and restore the APN settings on a disconnected device that has lost its APN configuration?

I'm pretty sure as this can be done by scripting.

Example here for Orange(SFR) we got in the past from the support (i don't remember what Toggle MCMR-24460 1 does sry):

writeprivateprofstring APN
writeprivateprofstring APN AccessPointName0 websfr
writeprivateprofstring APN DisplayName0 "SFR_Tablet"
writeprivateprofstring APN CountryCode0 208
writeprivateprofstring APN NetworkCode0 10
writeprivateprofstring APN ServerAddress0
writeprivateprofstring APN ProxyServerAddress0
writeprivateprofstring APN ProxyPortNumber0
writeprivateprofstring APN MmsProxyAddress0
writeprivateprofstring APN MmsPortNumber0
writeprivateprofstring APN MmsServerAddress0
writeprivateprofstring APN AccessPointType0
writeprivateprofstring APN AuthType0
writeprivateprofstring APN UserName0
writesecureprofstring APN Password0
writeprivateprofstring APN IsDefault0 1
writeprivateprofstring APN count 1
writeprivateprofstring APN MvnoType0 0
writeprivateprofstring APN MvnoValue0 0
apply apn

writeprivateprofstring Toggle MCMR-24460 1

Hi Rafael,

I made the changes to the script accordingly and tried to test it, but unfortunately, the device didn't come online. Is there any other way we can do this?

(I assume you provided the script/ before it went offline!)
So the script also won't work if you just send it to a TEST device or only when used as a out of contact rule?

In general i think the problem you may more likely investigate is why the device is loosing it's APN configuration.
Which means involving Soti support (if the APN is provided via the MDM) and the manufacturer support.

And the support may be able to assist why the script is not working.

Hi Rafael,

Thank you for your time and valuable comments. I found the solution by using another script. Thank you again.
