This is the default. **AlwaysOnStartup** - Reprovision when the device is rebooted or a crash causes the daemons to restart. **OnErrorOnly** - Never trigger device reprovisioning automatically. Each mode has an implicit device reprovisioning fallback if the device can't connect to IoT Hub during identity provisioning because of connectivity errors.
