    MC92N0 SNMP "vulnerability" resolution

    Our Security department doesn't like that our Windows CE MC92N0 have default 'PUBLIC' SNMP community name with no password.  I can't find anything in Soti that is using SNMP, and I don't have anything outside of Soti reading SNMP from these devices. Does anyone see/know of any negative affect by disabling SNMP on these old dinosaurs?

    Lockdown mode and data security Solved Locked

    Hello All,This is a question from our Security team; We will be using Android based scanners, controlled by MobiControl. After configuring the WiFI (PSK) and other information we want to put the devices in Lockdown mode to prevent retrieval of that information, which could leave our WiFI potentially vulnerable in the event of device loss. What we want to know is how this lockdown mode is implemented in Mobicontrol. Is this proprietary code, or are Android lockdown features used. Is there information available how these features like lockdown and encryption are implemented? Thanks, Jan

    Change color of online device icon?

    Checking to see if anyone is aware of a way to alter the color of the device icon in the console that shows the device is online.  As someone that is color blind for certain colors, it can be hard sometimes to differentiate between an online and offline device.  I have the "Agent Online" column in view, but quickly looking at the colors is an easier gauge.  I wasn't sure if there was a config file somewhere that a color hex value could be changed or if it's a totally separate icon file.  I'd like to change it to something slightly brighter if possible. Thanks in advance.

    Package Studio drops the drive letter from the path to the apk file

    Hi, one of our clients is experiencing a very strange behaviour of Package Studio. When they remove the reference to the previous version of the .apk file from the package project file and add a reference to the new version, the path to that file doesn't include the drive letter. This results in an error when the project is built, because the file cannot be found. Is there a particular reason for that behaviour, or is it a bug? Regards, Daníel

    Whitelist Google URL Redirects

    Hi, We are trying to publish Google Sites using Soti Surf on a couple of locked down devices. sites.google.com is already whitelisted. Everything works well except when accessing external links on the sites pages. Google Sites replaces the direct links with Google redirect links that starts with "https://www.google.com/url?q=". For testing purposes, www.google.com has also been whitelisted. Clicking on external links with the Google redirect links give the "access denied" error message. However, doing a long press on the links and choosing "open in new tab" works perfectly. What else should be whitelisted to allow opening of links with Google URL redirects in this scenario? Regards, D.

    How to deploy Packages with split apk's

    I came across this discussion previously: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/packaging-split-apk-files/ We are currently using Android+, not Android Enterprise. Historically to deploy packages to our Samsung devices in Lockdown Kiosk, we would download the relevant application (free) onto a device via the Google Play Store, extract tha apk, bundle that apk into a MobiControl package, then upload it and deploy via a payload. Although there were potential drawbacks to this method, it did work for us as all the apps we deploy are free and the hardware is the same/similar, so never had any issues. It now appears more and more apps are being released with split apk's, so this method is no longer an option. Downloading a bundled apk from an unofficial "dirty" website (i.e apps.evozi.com etc) is not really a path I wish to go down. I was just wondering is it possible currently to somehow deploy packages with Android+ that come from the Google Play Store with split apk's, or how are people currently doing it in this scenario?

    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!
