If an Android device gets unenrolled, do the set unlocking settings reset as well?
For example, if the device had a pattern lock before enrolling and it was changed to a PIN code, enforced by Configuration Settings set in Endpoint, will it switch back to pattern, if the phone gets unenrolled, or will it keep the set PIN code, just not enforce it anymore?

    @Ilazdin , For your question, my answer is the setting will not reset. It will kept as PIN code. In General, the settings in the profiles except Wi-Fi, VPN, certificate, and email profile will not removed from the Android device when we delete a profile or remove the device. To change back, we can manually change it. Or deploy a profile to these device with the setting you want if the setting is included in Intune. To see more details, we can read the following link:
