Summary:
By default, clients will check into an MDM server once every 6 hours (unless they get an APNS push). This should be configurable rather than a hard 6 hours (For macOS specifically).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to configure poll time for MDM checkins
2. Can't because it isn't an expose option

Expected Results:
1. Configure poll time via config profile

Actual Results:
Cannot configure because it isn't an option.

Notes:
MDM only polls every 6 hours, so if APNS does not work correctly, you have no way to ensure changes go out quickly. This could be a perfect storm combined with a 0day vuln.
