    How to customise the home screen without using lockdown? Solved

    I have a enterprise full of Samsung Tab A (2019) which i want to create a standard image for these. I have managed to deploy the programs i want through Managed Store, I have deleted some programs that i don't want using App Control.Now my question is that the apps i have installed don't seem to create a shortcut but only sit in the apps screen when you swipe up.is there a setting im missing in the store ? Is there a script i can use to make these shortcuts if not ? Device: Samsung TAB A (2019)Soti Agent Ver: 14.5.5.1023

    Suggestion on command import_contacts_vcf Solved

    Hi, we test new script "import_contacts_vcf" is good idea but we have some suggestions: before we use cgy.rgy.xpi with Contacts.vcf located in downloads folder and works very well, but in my org we have 2 types of separated contacts. This contacts stored on "Phone contact folder". On the one hand we have GAL contacts, we take this from MS Graph APIs and make a .vcf with all data, this file is sync to Downloads folder on every device (file sync rule) On the other hand we have individual driver contact (one .vcf by driver restored from old device). The problem is: In the future when we need to update GAL list on every device, need to delete manually all contacts and import this 2 .vcf with cgy.rgy.xpi or import_contacts_vcf. (GAL vcf and driver vcf) and if driver creates new contacts this dissapear. With import_contacts_vcf $varFolder 0 import all contacts from vcf but if you have contacts then duplicate. With import_contacts_vcf $varFolder 1 this delete all contacts (driver contacts imported with cgy.rgy.xpi too) and then create all contacts from .vcf This contacts stored on "Device contact folder" Is possible to have an export_contacts_vcf from "Phone contact folder" before execute import_contacts_vcf $varFolder 1? to delete all and import GAL updated and import driver contacts My temporally solution is: import_contacts_vcf %sdcard%/Download/EncodedContacts.vcf 1 > this delete all and create update GAL import_contacts_vcf %sdcard%/Download/Contacts.vcf 0 > this only add driver contacts   with this if any driver creates new contacts post migration to new devices they don't have this contact because 1st command delete all

    Citybon app; Network request failed

    Hi I've installed an application named "Citybon" via apk. What does this application do? It basically let you scan QR-codes to validate coupons. 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.

    Lockdown - Home Screen Items - Actions

    Hi, Does anyone know of a list detailing the available actions which can be performed for a lockdown home screen item? The documentation states it can execute Mobicontrol Actions (which I assume are these -> Available Device Actions (soti.net)) However this does not outline the syntax for these actions. Many thanks Adam

    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?

    MobiControl with ADFS SSO

    Hi Support-Team, I switched from internal user authentication to Active Directory based and it is working great, now I wanted to add SSO but cannot get it working. The website jumps to "Invalid response received from Identity Provider.", the server log shows "Invalid SAML 2.0 message. Element 'StatusCode' value is wrong. Expected 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:status:Success' received 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:status:Responder'". We are running ADFS 3.0, groups setting is set to Directory. Any ideas what went wrong? Thanks and cheers Carsten

    MC v15.4 - 0% Finalizing Your Upgrade!

    Hello there, well i saw the release of MC 15.4 and wanted to check/test it on my development environment. So i upgraded from the latest 15.3 (15.3.3 - 1065) to the latest 15.4 (15.4 - 4737). configured openjdk run the installer On my first try i wasn't able to get my DS back running. It failed always trying to start the service forthe deployment server. After restoring my snapshot i tried to install it again. Did the same steps. Now the DS was able to start.I was able to easily access the webconsole and everything seemed to work. Then i noticed the notification onthe webconsole that my search services stopped working. So i checked in the admin tool the search service.The admin tool is saying that all my services are OK. I restarted all my services and the server just in case.The admin tool is still showing me that the search service is still fine. So then i thought the config files of the search services are corrupted. So i went to the SOTI folder to renamethe the search folder to search_old and run the installer again to make sure that he configures the search servicenew. That step helped me a lot to fix the search service on many servers. Now i have the problem that i can not login into my webconsole. After the login it gets stuck at an indexing process.See the screenshot below: Any idea how to fix that problem? Or should i restore my snapshot and try to install 15.4 again? EDIT: Tried to uninstall MC 15.4 and reinstall it again. Same result... best regards, Ozan
