Cisco 500-220 Exam - Topic 2 Question 91 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 500-220 exam

Question #: 91
Topic #: 2

A new application needs to be pushed to all iOS devices. Some devices report ''NotNow'' in the event log and do not install the application.

What does the ''NotNow'' event indicate?

CThe device cannot connect to Apple servers.

BThe device is locked with a passcode.

DThe device cannot connect to Cisco Meraki servers.

AThe application requires the most recent iOS version.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The error message ''NotNow'' is seen in the Event Log on an iOS device's details page when an action cannot be performed because the device is locked with a passcode. These actions include pushing managed apps, installing profiles, and other actions. When this occurs the device will attempt to re-connect with the MDM server as soon as the device is unlocked in order to retry the action. https://documentation.meraki.com/SM/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Status_of_%22NotNow%22_in_Systems_Manager_Event_Log

I think it might be similar to when devices show a pending status, but I’m not confident about the specifics of the ''NotNow'' event.

I feel like ''NotNow'' could indicate that the user has postponed the installation, but I can't recall the exact scenarios where that happens.

I remember something about this from practice questions, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s related to user interaction or just a system delay.

I think the ''NotNow'' event means that the device is temporarily unable to install the app, maybe due to a lack of storage or network issues?

Ah, the "NotNow" event - that's a new one for me. I'm going to jot down a few ideas about what it could mean and then try to narrow it down to the most likely explanation.

The "NotNow" event is throwing me off a bit. I'll need to think through the possible reasons why some devices might not be installing the new application. Hopefully, I can come up with a good answer.

"NotNow" event, huh? That's an interesting one. I'm going to need to review my notes on iOS device event logs to see if I can find any information about that specific event.

Okay, so the question is asking what the "NotNow" event means. I'm not totally sure, but I'll try to break it down and see if I can figure out a logical explanation.
