# Return To Service

Gets the return-to-service configuration from the server.

## Discussion

The device sends the `ReturnToService` message when the user triggers a return to service, or when the device’s idle timeout expires. The device only sends this message when it’s in the return-to-service mode that its Automated Device Enrollment profile sets.
