    "if exist" script on Android Enterprise Solved

    Hi, I am trying to come up with a method to identify whether a specific file is present on a fleet of Honeywell CT60 Android Enterprise devices running Android 9. I need to be able to identify which devices have the file using a Log Information Report (or similar).I was hoping that the solution would be to run a legacy script along the lines of:if exist "/sdcard/Android/data/com.vendor.myapp/files/LogonData.ini" echo "LogonData.ini exists"but this returns the error 'Script command is not supported by device (if).'A directory listing like the ls command with output sent to the logs would also be ideal.Any suggestions would be gratefully received, thank you.

    SOTI MobiControl Kerberos request Solved

    Hi all, we're using SOTI MobiControl (On-Premise) and saw in some warnings in our Microsoft Defender for Identity Portal. SOTI MC is doing Kerberos requests against our Domain Controllers using the Device IDs of our Zebra devices: This is happening every 2 hours when the device agent does a check in. Is this an configuration issue or a normal behavior? Is there anything we can do in order to stop this? Best regards, Patrick

    Samsung phones lose connection with Mobicontrol when not used for some days?

    HI, We widely use Samsung phones in our company, ranging from A50 to A52. They are all enterprise enrolled. The issue is when a phone is not actively used or sits unused for a few days, it loses the connection with Mobicontrol, so the phone appears offline in Mobicontrol and any commands issued from the console are not getting to the phone. We have had cases when users left the company or were terminated, the phones were not brought to I.T in time, so they lost the connection with MC. The phones are locked to the user PINs or Patterns. We can't use Mobicontrol to disable passcode lock. We have ended up with several good phones now bricked because we can't unlock them. Not sure why the MC agent does not remain online. The phones have wifi connection or data connection. We cannot even reboot the phones to recovery mode. They will not even get wiped after 10 attempts of wrong PINs. Without connection back to mobicontrol, the phone is completely useless. If anyone can shed some light, it's greatly appreciated. Are there any settings in mobicontrol we can set to keep the agent online all the time or some way (back door or something) to unlock the phones when they are not communicating with MC? Thank you much!

    Entrust root cert validation on Windows Mobile 5.2

    We are still using some Intermec/Honeywell 3K3X devices running Windows Mobile 5.2 that we'll be retiring later this year. Before that, however, we have a need to deploy the Entrust Root Certification Authority (G2) root and intermediate certs. I know how to deploy these, but I want to validate that they are working. Entrust offers a validation site (https://validg2.entrust.net/), but the site won't work in the IE version on the device. Further, I have yet to find a browser that will both load the site and that uses the device's cert store and not a separate one for the browser. Does anyone know of:- a browser that works with WinMo 5.2 AND supports HTML5 AND uses the device's browser store- some other way to validate the certI happened across this article - https://support.nmi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360021544791-How-to-Check-If-the-Correct-Certificates-Are-Installed-on-Linux - which made me realize I could use cURL to validate, but I have yet to be able to find a cURL implementation for Windows Mobile. Any help you can offer is appricated.

    Javascript API/Command to query OEM-Version? Solved

    It’s just an informational Question, if there’s an javascript command, with which I could query the OEM-Version of a Zebra TC56/57 handheld for using in a self-created website? (for the Enterprise Browser that’s installed on the Zebra TC56-devices)I recently found a command to query the OS-Version, the second step would be to query the OEM-Version. The purpose is to create a full automated installation-process for the Zebra Handhelds with pre-detection of Android Version and OEM-Version.Kind regards, Peter Petry

    Android 8.1 to 11 upgrade and SHA1 to SHA256 certificate issue

    Hello,We are updating our fleet of Zebra TC52 from Android 8.1 to Android 11. FYI, our MobiControl Deployment Server (version 14.1) has no internet connection (on-premise solution). It runs on Windows Server 2016. We had previously SHA1 certificate on this server because there was also several Windows CE devices. This is not anymore the case, we have only Android devices connected to this DS. Problems happens when i try to generate SHA256 certificate to the Deployment Server (and all others) from the new SHA256 root certificate generated 2 years ago. Same case with freshly generated root certificate. This fails (Message of type NullReferenceException). Procedure : in MCAdmin Utility, i clicked on the SHA256 root certificate, clicked on Deployment Server in the Certificate Bindings list, and then "Change" button, then i clicked on "Generate" on the Select Certificate window, and then selected the SHA256 Root CA and "Generate Certificate" and it fails  (Message of type NullReferenceException). I already logged a case, the perso from Soti did take remote to see what happened, and nothing more... It doesn't helped me. Have you got an idea ? Another problem : We also have another small issue: the MobiControl lockscreen keeps coming back when using an application, which is annoying for users entering production statements. Thanks
