    Samsung Galaxy A7 lite

    Good Morning,  Our company is in the process of upgrading our employee's devices. The current tablets we use are the Samsung SMT387 & M-T378. We enroll them with Android Plus and push out a profile with Kiosk screen and several packaged APK's for the approved apps.  We recently ordered the Samsung A7 lite devices SM-T227U. These come with Android 11 out of the box. I was able to enroll the device with Android Plus. When I went to push our test profile (Exact clone of Production Profile) the entire profile failed. All my packages failed to install with the message being "Failed to Install (Incompatible Platform)".  Is there something different I will need to do with the enrollment to get these new Android 11 devices to work with our current profile?  MobiControl version: 14.4.6.1047 Agent Version: 14.1.4.1010

    Display "Net.Hostname" in SOTI

    Is there a possibility to display the net.hostname of the devices in SOTI? Via the CMD shell I can read out the name of each device individually with "getprop net.hostname". Or it is possible to read out all devices via script and e.g. to be provided as a text file?

As soon as we scan the QR-code we get an error message... "Type-Error: Network request failed". Is there any way to see if someting is being blocked? I'm not able to see anything in the 'LOG' tab. We've checked our firewall and everything went through. Thank you Best regards TORFS

    Problem enrolling Samsung Devices to SOTI

    Hello, We are trying to enroll Samsung Galaxy Xcover -devices to SOTI, but have run into problems. I'll try to explain all of our situations as well as possible, but apologies if I forget something. Anyway, the devices run on Android 11, while out SOTI client is running version 15.2. SHA-2 is enabled. First, I have tried enrolling with Android classic Mobicontrol. I found one from SOTI site, that should work. Non-ELM was seemingly not supported anymore, so I tried with ELM enabled device. There is a small problem with it, because our production network for SOTI clients do not have access to public network. In order for me complete the enrolling, I have to switch WLAN networks to a more public one during it. I was able to do this once, but subsequent enrolls fail upon completion and unenroll themselves. After that I have to do enterprise data reset in order to try enrolling again. I decided to try using the more universal Google Mobicontrol afterwards. The enrollment succeeds, but the devices do not support remote control and always install a work profile. I got some guidance from our seller, that I should enroll the device during the initial bootup, by using the camera to read a QR-code from Mobicontrol stage program. That worked on a Zebra device we have, but on Samsung device I ran into different problems. Because our production environment do not have access to Google play, I must do the initial installation on a different network, so the device gan download the Mobicontrol app. After that, the device starts to enroll, but for some reason I am unable to change settings during the installation. On Zebra device I am able to open Android during enrolling (Zebra runs on Android 8), but on Samsung I can't back out to Android during enrollment, meaning I am unable to change to production network. Is this because of a different Android version? If anyone can give me some hints about how should I proceed with enrollment, I would be very thankful.

    Samsung MAC Randomisation

    Hi Community! I have a support case raised with SOTI on this, but thought I would reach out to the community to see if anyone else has experienced this issue so far. We have a wifi payload assigned to our devices via a profile that applies a number of wifi profiles to the devices for the various SSIDs that we have broadcasting around our sites. We also have a DHCP MAC filter applied at our sites. More recent versions of Android have MAC Randomisation functionality and in recent versions (Android 11 etc), it is enabled by default. MAC Randomisation is not suitable in our environment, due to the DHCP MAC Filter. We therefore turn this off for our Corporate SSIDs (not via MobiControl) to allow the devices to seamlessly connect to wifi via the DHCP MAC Filter. The issue we are now facing, is that Android 11 devices on the latest security patches (Details below) have Random MAC turned back on every time the device is rebooted. Random MAC is only turned back on for wifi profiles that we enforce via MobiControl payload. Any SSIDs (Known networks) on the device that are manually entered (not via MobiControl), do not have Random MAC turned on after reboot. This appears to be a bug perhaps, but not sure how to try and remediate against this. Currently, we are having to tell users of these affected devices, not to reboot them. Make: Samsung Model: Various MobiControl version: 15.0.2.1049 Agent version: Samsung ELM 14.5.5.1023/14.4.3.1074 Android OS: Android 11 Knox version: 3.7.1 Knox API level: 34 Android Security Patch June 2021 Devices on previous OS versions and older versions of Knox are not affected.

    Allow Smart Switch on Android COPE devices

    Hi, We're using Soti 15.3.0.6713 and we've enrolled some Android Enterprise devices as Corporate Personal (COPE). We've been trying to install Samsung Smart Switch on the devices because in case of a phone replacment we would like to be able to restore data, pictures, whatsapp, etc.  When we install Smart Switch we get an error that the app cannot be installed. I read on the forum that we might need to install Samsung Knox Service Plug-In app first and enable the "Allow Smart Switch" option. See the solution on this topic: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/allow-smart-switch-on-samsung-android-enterprise-devices/?quote=c021520b-a1c8-4408-ba0e-1b06063b5c51#createpost  When we set Knox Service Plug-In in the App Policy we cannot enable an option Allow Smart Switch. Is that because of our COPE enrollment or is it somewhere else in Soti version 15.3.0.6713?
