Cannot wipe iPhone from Intune
But how can I access the company portal on the device if i don't have the PIN-code to login to the device?
And I am not sure how a retire will help me in this case?
The phone is still locked with a PIN.
Hi PatrikStar73,
you're right, if you don’t have the PIN code, accessing the Company Portal app on the device to initiate a factory reset is not possible.
Retiring the device from Intune management won’t unlock the phone. It will only remove the device from management and ensure data protection while retaining user accounts and data. The phone will still be locked with the PIN.
In such cases, you might need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
It’s always a good practice to have employees share their device PIN or passcode before they leave the company to avoid such situations in the future.

That makes no sense. If you have a corporately enrolled phone it is fully controllable, including erasing the PIN/passcode. If you mean an apple ID that is different.

Are there any documentation from MS about this?
I cannot seem to find any.
