    MobiControl Enrollment not working on device side

    Hello, Earlier this morning I was remote viewing my Note 20 Ultra, which I enrolled as a BYOD device for testing. When I disconnected I notice my phone still had the screen sharing icon up. Figured it would go away at some point. I pushed an update to the BYOD profile and a couple related app policies, and my phone. That's when I noticed agent was showing as "Connected, waiting for response from the server..." And would turn green. I thought deleting the device (and removing the work profile) on the phone and re-enrolling would fix it, but when I try to enroll it just gets stuck on "enrollment is in progress" (until the screen goes out or I navigate away, where it says "failed to connect, please retry). If i keep the screen on it eventually just stays blank. When I look at the logs on the WebConsole it says successfully re-enrolled, multiple times. Pretty new to MobiControl, but as far as I can tell there aren't any errors or warnings that I can see. Update: I tried the solution suggested below but it didn't work. I did find the logs and there are warnings about Play Integrity Tests (specifically, the IMEI is showing up as unknown and some Integirty Tests fail). I changed the policy to force enrollment even if integrity tests fail and the latest log entry is an error regarding a failure to create an MGPA token for AE device. I'm not sure if it's related but there's also an error on the management server saying it failed to update. It's also worth noting that the Deployment Server diagnostic logs keep showing Pulse Checker trying to check in with its Device ID, and it's gone now but Deployment Server Extension diagnostic logs showed that the device ID already exists (despite the strict re-enrollment and the unenrolled deletion being turned on): 2024-04-30 14:22:23,927 (0x00001930) [ERROR] [ 83] PulseChecker: Disconnect Comm.Client.1421 [GMEW-PEBZ-C3WE-6LL3F-5VN3-LYWJ-K] due to no activity timeout

    Device Agent was stopped on Android+, registering a new device will never succeed

    Hi there, I am testing to enroll a Pointmobile PM95 device (with Android Version 13) as a work managed device. (without the special work container) Deploying with Android Enterprise and having a private and a work space on the device- then the registering on mdm works. But not as a work managed device with OEM specific Agents. Starting the Agent -it always crashes with the error message "the app has stopped", there is no way to register the device in MDM.  I tried several Agent versions, deploying via webservcie or qr code during device setup. It always failed. I have another Pointmobile PM85 which works as an Enterprise device with Agent version 14.4. in the desired way. Where can I figure out which Agent Version is needed? Is the PM95 device not supported? As the device is not for private use, there is no need for a personal container.  We are running MobiControl Version: 15.2.3.1033 on premise.

    FQHN/DNS-name as "Alternative Subject" in the certificate

    To log on to the WiFi via 802.1x we need the FQHN/DNS-name in the certificate we generate and deploy via MobiControl. All previous attempts have resulted in error messages within MobiControl ("Exception: Value does not fall within the expected range."). Does anyone here have any experience? Certificate Type: Generic SCEPSOTI MobiControl 15.6.4 The documentation refers to a selection list and a gear icon. However, these do not exist in "Generic SCEP". At least "ADCS + Configuration Type SCEP" has both. Unfortunately, the selection does not help us here. The manual variant "%DEVICENAME%.PART.COMPANY.DE" runs into the described error within MobiControl.  https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v15.6/en/console/reference/dialogs/globalsettings/certificates/certificate_san.html?hl=alternative%2Csubject Thanks for any ideas or tips.

    QR Code enrollment and WiFi configuration Solved

    Our IT is looking into migrating the WiFi we use our mobile devices to a cluster SSID, in which the devices will connect to a specific SSID base on MAC address rule filter. We are having issue to enroll devices, with the QRcode method using the cluster network; the device is never able to connect to WiFi. My assumption is that this happens because the A11+ devices have MAC randomizer as default. Has anyone faced similar issue, or has a similar network setup? Is there a way to disable MAC randomizer without start regular Android setup? We are using Zebra TC77s devices and are on Mobicontrol 2024.0.1.1020 (on premises).

    Is there a script (legacy or java) to relocate devices?

    HI All We are looking to stage/enroll a few thousand devices and we don't want to load all the applications etc at the staging site. Instead, rather have a button on the lockscreen that triggers a move by the user, to the live/infield folder where it will adopt the policies it needs and download the applications etc. Has anyone done this before? Is it possible? Your assistance will be much appreciated.

    Del File command on Script to Android 14 is not able to erase file

    When an Android device upgrades itself to a version it may erase special access rights to MobiControl Agent, such as ACCESS ANY File.   Prior to massive deployment, we have tested wich devices have upgrade and lost permissions.   In order to test if permissions are grant or not in Android devices we have a package that includes an apk, 2 txt file and a post install script.     The apk requests EXTERNAL_ACESS_MANAGEMENT and we do nothing with it. The only reason of its presence is to identify if MC Agent is able to install and grant such permission. After the confirmation it is installed, the post install script uninstall it. If installation has failed, the script stops on this point and the log on scripts helps to identify it.   The 2 txt files is to verify if we are able to copy/replace one by another, working as a flag if the MC Agent has rights to delete or overwrite files content. One file has 9 bytes and other 4 bytes. We know it has worked  if both stay with 9 bytes.   By the list of installation failed we are able to start a remote session to grant the proper rights.   This was so, up to Android 14.   Android 14 denies the delete, copy/replace action and we could not identify which permission is missing for it. The Log from script writes the file has been deleted and the other one copied, but the scripts hangs as failed, even after writes the log of installation success at the end.   By the way, the file sync rules are able to replace the content of the files, but legacy script copy command may not.     Below you see the package and its post install script.   ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; ; Post-Install Script File ; Date Created: quarta-feira, 17 de abril de 2024 ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;   log -i "ANDROID ANDROID ScanMobAUth2 installed" ;Remove File testeScan2.txt ;It fails here, because the original file is still there  del /sdcard/Download/testeScan2.txt log -i "Succes on erase testeScan2.txt " ;It is weird that the log above is registered, even after del command been failed copy /sdcard/Download/versao123.txt /sdcard/Download/testeScan2.txt ;It does not copy and is expected to happen so, when the target already exists with same name and different content log -i "Succes on copy file  testeScan2.txt by versao123" ;As before, the log above should not be executed, but is ;uninstall the package uninstall br.com.nobredelatorre.scanmobauth2 log -i "Finishing ANDROID ScanMobAUth " ;it even writes the Finishing log above finishpkg   Here comes the package content   [Fileoptions] Encrypt=1 Compress=1 Format=1 [Info] Name=ScanMob VersionStr=23.0 CommentStr= Wrap=85 Build=0 BuildDir=C:\Users\Aline\Documents\MobiControl Packages\ScanMob\checked\ WrapDir=C:\Users\Aline\Documents\MobiControl Packages\ScanMob\built\ File=ScanMob.pcg TotalFileSize=1610632 ExtraSize=0 TotalPackageSize=1314126 Processor=ALL Platform=Android ProcessorType=1 PlatformType=7 Osver=2.0-22.0 VendorName= Type=0 Prompt=0 PromptMsg=Install package 'ScanMob' now?

    Lockdown profile cannot login at the device but can through Mobicontrol console. Solved

    We are running a lockdown profile on Zebra MC3300x handheld. I have applied the authentication then the lockdown. and I cannot manually log into the device either at the device or through Mobicontrol remote control but if I use the "Enter Administrator Mode" from the remote control console it lets me in. I have tried resetting the password in the authentication profile and revoking\installing. I have rebuilt the device and patched it to the latest. I have built a brand new authentication policy and lockdown so I am 100% sure of the password. I tried a different lockdown template thinking maybe it just doesn't work well on this device. and I am still seeing the same behavior. This creates an issue if the device loses network connectivity for some reason as we them cannot get into the device and reconnect it thus we have to factory rest the device and rebuild it. Just not sure what else to do or where the problem lies. They are Work Managed .  OS : Android 11 Zebra what used to be LG patch but is now called something else : 11-42-18.00-RG-U01 Mobicontrol Agent version : 2024.1.1.1125 Mobicontrol version : 15.4.1.4828 I know we are a few revisions behind on our Mobicontrol version but we are trying to work out issues we have in our test environment with the newer version before upgrading our production environment. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

    Android MobiControl Script to change default keyboard

    Hi, We use 'Simple Keyboard' as the primary keyboard across our devices, as we do not like the fact that Android 10+ uses Gboard which has GIFS.  Is there a way to set this as the default keyboard across multiple devices? We have 100 odd devices which need changing.  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Craig
