The Windows installer already removes & reinstalls the settings, so it
should definitely not be in your list of affected systems.

The Android app can simply be opened and fed with the new credentials.
Upon the next "Install" it overwrites its own previously-installed
settings. So this one should also no be on your list.

For all things Apple, the mobileconfig distribution channel does not
allow for manipulation of pre-existing profiles by a new profile. So on
that platform, I'm afraid we have no way to fix this.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
