  • 1.  Stop IOS from updating

    Posted Mar 02, 2016 01:24 PM

    I am trying to stop users on IOS devices from getting the update message on their devices. I have seen posts in the past that show if you setup a destination file with names mesu.apple.com and appldnld.apple.com, add it to an acl and apply it to a user role it would stop it from happening. We are running 6.3.1.14. So far that scenario doesn't work. I know in 6.4 you can use DPI but we are not ready to upgrade to 6.4 yet. Has anybody gotten this scenario to work?

    What controller are you using ?
    Do you have DNS query enabled on your controller ?

    Try to ping something aruba.brightcloud.com from the controller CLI and see if it works.

    If not you will need to execute this from CLI and it requires a reboot to take effect:
    ip domain lookup
    ip domain-name .
    ip name-server






    Thanks

    It's a losing battle to stop the notification as it comes via APNS. Some
    type of MDM would be the proper solution.
