• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Cancel
• D. Remind me later

Answer: (B)

When provisioning a device, you want to apply the current bootstrap context rather than roll back to an older configuration. Choosing to reprovision with previous settings would restore the device to its prior state, overwriting any new keys, policies, or identities created during this bootstrap session. That can cause conflicts, lose new configurations, or rebind the device to an old profile. Saying No keeps the fresh bootstrap setup intact and avoids those risks. If you truly need the old configuration later, you can reapply it after the fact, but during bootstrap the safe default is to proceed without reprovisioning with previous settings.
