    Moving devices between groups Solved

    Hi all, we have created a kind of "landing group" where all new registered devices are in by "Add Device Rule". This was only for first registration with only a few policies. Depending on the owner we moved the device to his target group for example "Management" what means that the policy changes and the app are provisioned and all that stuff. In the old legacy console this was a simple drag&drop - now with the transition to the new console I can't find where I can do this ... I'm sure i have simply overseen the "new way" of handling this. Thanks for a tip.

    Zebra TC56 Nougat - RC plugin Solved

    Hi! Tried to use Remote Control for a TC56 device enrolled to a server running 14.1 and as Android Enterprise Manged Device. I know that we need a MDM plugin for Remote Control to work on Android Enterprise but none of the two versions did work for the TC56. Neither Legacy or Hawkeye. (not compatible) I have recently got this to work OK with the TC20 device. Is there some update planned?

    Looking for a way to use variables in scripts on Android+/Enterprise Solved

    Hi, I'll explain the context which tells why this would be much appreciated. We use relay ftp servers on multiple shops (one for each shop) that receive app updates. These updates are to be downloaded to the devices and then installed. Each shop has its own IP subnet, but the last ip octet is always the same. The local FTP server address is known be the device in an INI file from one of the apps. The goal is to script a ftp get using the value of the IP address contained in the INI file as a variable so that only one script is needed instead of... many, one per shop. Problem is : the "set" script command is not working on Android so I couldn't find a way to do it yet. The %ip% of the device is working, but I couldn't find a way to extract the string and modify it. Everything needs variables. If anyone has an idea, would be very much appreciated.

    MobiControl 13.4.0.4167 - Remote Control (non-html) fails Solved

    Hi, We have some users that experiencing an issue when attempting to remote control a device using the non-html5 version.  When they initially tried to use it, they were prompted to install the extra software to perform the function and everything worked as expected.  Now (after a few months of working) when they launch the remote control session, they get prompted to install the software again.  They go through the process and it fails, as it says it's already installed and then the remote control initiation fails. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?  It seems to be a per-user/per-PC basis as it works fine for other users. Thanks

    Android : Launch-able SOTI Script shortcut on SOTI Lockdown Solved

    Hi there, I am wondering if anyone has successfully placed a SOTI script on the SOTI Lockdown utility on MobiControl 13.4. I have attempted to accomplish this but delivering a script file to the desired device then reference that file in the Lockdown config but when tapping on the created hyperlink, it either doesn't have any response or states the file is incorrect. My script kills an app then starts it when executed. I have validated the script syntax by sending it manually to the device. The Device Script Commands seems to imply this is possible based on the attached screenshot but I would like more clarification on what the file extension of the script file being delivered needs to be and which initialization method I need to use specific to scripts. (Launch://, File://, etc)

    Samsung Tab E - Set Screen Inactivity Setting

    Hi, I'm attempting to come up with a solution to update a mass amount of devices to change the screen timeout setting from 30 seconds to the OS max of 10 minutes (wish I could disable completely). I monitored setting the 10 minute setting and came up with the log and then script below. Log: Custom log (URI:content://settings/system SETTING:screen_off_timeout VALUE:600000) Script sent to device:writesecuresetting –sys screen_off_timeout 600000 There were no changes after the script was sent.  I waited a few minutes / rebooted the tablet but no results.  Is the command I sent via the script possibly not supported on our devices? Device:  Samsung Tab E 8.0 (Verizon) Model:  SM-T378V OS:  7.1.1 Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

    Difference between mxconfig and mxxmlconfig scripts

    I am relatively familiar with the process of generating XML from StageNow and then processing it on Zebra Android devices using the mxconfig scripting option in MobiControl v13.3 and higher. I am now supporting a MobiControl 12 instance that only has an mxxmlconfig script and no mxconfig option. In cross-referencing the scripting documentation between v12 and v13 it would appear that mxconfig is specific to StageNow generated XML where as mxxmlconfig is for "MX Legacy". What is the difference between these two XML types and how can I generate the MX Legacy version of an XML file if I want to configure Zebra Android devices through the MX layer with a MobiControl 12 environment? mxxmlconfig [inputPath] [outputPath] Executes XML command from the [inputPath] and puts the result into the [outputPath]. inputPath – path to a xml file containing configuration for MX XML API outputPath – path to a folder where script execution result will be put. Note: This script command is applicable only to Motorola Android devices. mxxmlconfig uses the older XML format (MX Legacy).   mxconfig <xml_filepath> Submits XML configuration instructions to the MX layer of the device. Note: This script command is only applicable on Zebra Android devices. mxconfig uses the StageNow XML format (MXMS)
