    Maintenace windows with Zebra Lifeguard OTA

    Hi, is it possible to use maintenance windows with Zebra Lifeguard OTA? I've tride setting a window with the "Managed Google Play" config and with the "System Update Policy" configuration. But no luck, the firmware upgrades starts immediately. I would prefer scheduling and doing the upgrades at night. Using v.15.3 on Zebra Tc52 devices with 8.1.0.

    Installation issue of Enterprise application

    Hi, I'm using SOTI cloud server v14.4.9 with Samsung Xcover4s devices enrolled with Android Enterprise agent (14.5.3.1017) and which are on Android 10 version. I tried to push an apk through application catalog / "Enterprise Applications" type but it seems like the apk isn't transmitted to devices. If I check logs of devices I can see the line below: Device is missing mandatory application As I set the application as mandatory I should get the apk on SOTI agent menu of the device under "Application catalog" menu but nothing appears. I tested to install manually the same apk directly on the device with usb cable and it works. This is the first time I try to push an apk through "Enterprise application", when the apk is available on PlayStore I used to go through "Managed Google Play" and then the apk are pushed correctly. Could someone help me with this issue? Thanks

    Automatic Device Relocation when Android 9 is installed

    Hello there We have the following situation: There are several Android 8.1 Devices which we want to update to Android 9. These devices are working in Kioskmode and are using the Phone App. As the Bundle ID of the phone App is not the same in Android 8.1 as in Android 9, the updated devices can't access the phone app anymore and we have to move the device manually in the desired group. Is there any possibility to automate this process throug device relocation rules? My hope is somehow autofill a custom attribute when the device is updatet to Android 9. Is there any chance to do this? Thank you and best Regards Beni

    Devices are constantly ringing from time to time

    Hello, just a little background story: We use certificate based wifi auth., when installing a cert without a device plugin the agent does a "ring tone" and asks the user for permission when there is no pin code set. We set a pincode automatically via script and also the deviceplugin is installed. Now when the device gets to the Wifi-Profile it does the exact same behaviour as without a pin code and deviceplugin for a short period of time untill the device has fully installed the wifi profile and could connect to the wifi network. This ringtone that comes up when the agent asks for permission i.e. cert installation now starts randomly and then device keeps ringing for like half an hour or longer. the thing is that neither wifiprofile or certificate need to be refreshed or reinstalled. Has anyone of you experienced this before and what was your solution? Running on: Agent 14.4.4.1051 MC 15.3.1.1151

    Android Enterprise and Rule Permissions issue

    Hi all, I'm currently using Android Enterprise - Work Managed devices, with Managed Google Play Account... Mobicontrol version 15.3.2 I have a selection of Add device rules set up and all have the Permissions set on the Rule like below: However at enrolment of the device, I'm experiencing a mix of results and not sure why. For example, once the device is staged as AFW - its on the enrolment screen waiting for a code. We use Mobicontrol Stage and scan barcodes created from the Enrolment ID. This then prompts for username and password (we use ldap authentication) and then it prompts for the Password Policy we set and moves onto the kiosk/lockdown. On some devices, this proceeds and there are no further pending actions. All policies, apps, etc download and the device is enrolled and compliant. However on another device, same model, same staging but perhaps a different Rule - with the same Permissions set - we get prompted in Pending actions and have to manually accept each one and toggle Mobicontrol. I have gone over the Rules and aside from the target and ldap groups these are almost carbon copies. All have the tickboxes set but I'm confused if they mean it should prompt, or should auto grant these? Little baffled on why some do it but not all... Is there something at the profile level that has an effect, or maybe something in feature control that conflicts with this that I'm potentially missing? If anyone can help and offer the intended action it would be much appreciated as we may need to update documentation for user enrolment asap. Many thanks Leigh

    Script to enable 'Allow permission' in Change system settings for certain application

    Hi, It is my first post so apologies if I'll do anything not correct. We're using Mobi Control version 14.4.9.1034 and the query is for Samsung A02s, Samsung A12, Moto G6 and G8 devices enrolled as Android Enterprise. I'm after a post install script on File sync rule to enable 'Allow permission' function within Change system settings for certain application. We will need in near future to update this application every month or so. I have attached a screen shot to provide more details what I'm after. Please let me know if it is possible or if any further details I can provide. Kind regards, Norbert

    Device Agent - Controlling Version

    Hi, We've got a large number of android enterprise devices enrolled, which is done through the OEM provisioning process (Honeywell). As part of this enrolment, I target a specific AE SOTI agent version to keep the fleet consistent. I'm struggling to understand why there are devices in our fleet that will upgrade their agent version, passed what's been allowed in the console settings. For example, the current 'compatible' local agent version in our console is 14.4.6.1001. The latest version not yet authorised is 14.5.3.1017.   All of the device have Agent Upgrade Enabled set to false, yet some of them randomly update to this new version? I'd like to authorise and deploy the agent version in more controlled fashion as we've run into issues with particular agent versions in the past and am reluctant to just let them always install the latest version (at least until it's been tested by us). I don't believe anyone in our environment (administrators) has ever issued the "Start on update schedule" option within the agent update options however couldn't say for certain.  If so, how would that setting be counteracted?  I've issued the "Disable Agent Upgrade" command which won't go to any devices that have the new version (regardless of whether the console has it marked as compatible) due to it being the latest official released agent (which seems quite strange behaviour to me). Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers! Rob

    Honeywell CK65 - Update to Android 10 Solved

    After updating to Android 10 from 9 on my CK65 devices I've noticed I can't swipe up from the bottom of the screen to do an administrative unlock from the Lockdown screen anymore. If I go into Remote Control I can force it to administrator mode from there, but not directly from the device. Did something change with this?

    Android Enterprise disable software updates / keep firmware consistent across the board

    Hello, I manage our field team's Samsung S20 devices and some of our current applications require us to remain on Andriod 10 as there is currently some incompatibility with Android 11. We will be wanting to upgrade when this is solved for security reasons but ideally, I would like to be able to limit user's ability to upgrade and instead push safe updates out to the field when they are tested. I am hoping there is a new solution to this but so far I have not seen anything. Other than moving over to the Samsung Knox suite that does appear to have this functionality. So for now I have been using this script to stop the updates. "writesecureprofstring DeviceFeature BlockOsUpgrade 1" Up until now, this solution has been working, however, if any changes are made to profiles assigned to the devices the fix is undone requiring me to send the script again. If this is not caught, then the device is left vulnerable for the automatic updates to start downloading. Once they are downloaded we have to factory reset the phone in order to avoid it asking to start the update every day. Any ideas why this is happening? I am not making any changes to the feature control, even moving devices between groups will reset the OS upgrade block.  At device enrollment, I have also set a task scheduler to send the script but this seems to be ignored, not sure why this is but it means enrollment has 1 extra manual step. I have considered are using a task scheduler to send the feature control script every couple of minutes but this seems like overkill and I would rather a cleaner solution.  Does anyone know of any other workarounds?  Thanks in advance

    Device Location When Check in

    Hi everyone,  Currently in SOTI Mobicontrol we have default setting for Update Schedule, usually it's every 2 hours, and everytime the device check in, it will looking for update and do Locate device location. I was wondering if the device location when doing check-in can be shown to us? For now i just can check the log and see that "device located" Is there a way to see the location? Thanks & regards, Randy Saputra
