    How to downgrade packages in Android Enterprise? Solved

    Hello, I am having problems downgrading packages successfully in Android Enterprise. I cannot find any SOTI documentation on how to downgrade properly, only upgrade. If someone can please help me with this or point me in the direction of proper documentation I'd appreciate it. Specifics of my issue are as follows: Android 8.1 Zebra TC56 SOTI Version 14.4.1.1195  Agent version: 14.4.7.1084 Package installed via Android APK in SOTI Package Manager We have apps that have new versions roughly once a month. So for example I have an app with an April version I needed to roll back to February version. I can upgrade no problem, simply take the new APK, create package with higher version, upload, update in profile and done. However downgrading, I would THINK I should be able to simply select a lower version of the app in the profile and assign it. This results in an File IO error with no specifics. I then tried taking the older APK (since I keep archives) and repackaging it with a higher package version number, and this failed as well. The odd thing is if I force package reinstall, it works. But this action can only be done per device and we have 1000+ devices. I have also tried weirder things like syncing the apk as a file with a rule, then trying to run commands manually to install it. I've tried including a pre-install script in my package to remove any newer or older versions before installing, and this failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Running pre/post install scripts in Windows SOTI Packages

    Hello, Does anyone know how to run scripts correctly in pre/post context with SOTI packages? For instance, I want SOTI to launch a program after running an installer. If I type the command in cmd the program launches fine. If I run it through SOTI's "Send Script" or in a install script, it does nothing. My understanding is SOTI launches and runs commands under the current user, so if I can run it manually without an admin prompt it should work. Thanks!

    can we set the exit lockdown mode password via REST and SSL

    I see that to exit lockdown mode, one has to enter an Administration password that is created via an Authentication profile, presumably set up on the dashboard. How customizable is this password generation? Specifically, can we set it via REST and SSL, or is it only via the dashboard?

    enabling system apps

    Morning all. i have enrolled several devices using afw#mobicontrol which has worked fine. devices are honeywell EDA71 tablets using android 8.1. i did not realise that enrolling devices in this way removes loads of the pre installed applications. after some frantic searching on google and the forums i found i was able to send the device a script to reenable some of these apps. the one in question for me is the camera. i am sending this script enable_system_app org.codeaurora.snapcam   however this has only worked on approximately 70% of the devices.   is there any reason why this script does not always work?   thanks   Daryl

    How to import certificate via script

    When we try to access out internal site, we received this warning error  "There's a problem with this website security certificate. Proceed anyway" We have a certificate that we can install to fix this error If we access the link to the certificate manually, from the device, we could download the certificate and install it My problem now is, I need to deploy this to multiple devices, so I need this done via a profile or a script I did assigned a profile to keep the certificate in the SD card and tried to import it, but it did not installed properly The script i use to run them is as below, but none of them seems to work certimport -cert "/sdcard/xxxx" -ctype cert certimport -cert "/sdcard/xxx" -ctype certificate_type -itype "install_type" certimport -cert "/sdcard/xxx" -ctype certificate_type -itype "install_type" -storage "storage_type" Certificate is a chain, private root CA and private TLS CA certificate The manual installation will put the certificate here in this location Settings > Security > Trusted Credentials > User When I used the certimport script, it will move my cert from the SD card, but I dont know where it went And the warning will still be there, and the certificate are not in the desired place. Any advise on how I can have these certificate install automatically? Thank you

    Settings Manager Bug on Android

    This afternoon I loaded the latest Settings Manager (15.0.0 build 14) as it now supports Android 10 and 11. However, when I attempt to do anything in the app it tells me that I need MobiControl agent 14.4.7 or higher to use this feature. Okay, sure. I check my version of the agent and I'm at 14.5.0 build 1011 so I should be okay. Ideas? Anyone else seeing this?
