    Mail program device admin rights in combination with Lockdown feature

    Hi everybody,we have configured the lockdown policies for one of our device groups.we also have a policie to configure the mail client on the devices with the pre-installed Samsung mail app.This app needs device administrator priviliges to be configured, but as soon as the lockdown policy is applied the user isn't able to grant the app the required rights.Is there a way to configure the order in which the policies are applied or e.g. to grant the mail programm device administrator rights via SOTI? We want to use this mail program in combination with the Lockdown feature. RegardsRobin

    Add device rule with specific AD group does not work

    Hello everybody, We created an Add device rule to automatically assign the tablets that are using this rule to a specific device groupWe set the authentication option to "Utilize directory services to authenticate users during device enrollment".As long as we allow all authenticated users to use this rule, it works fine. But as soon as we enter a specific AD group, no one can use this rule. Not even the users who are member of this specific group.After entering the credentials in MobiControl on the tablet, we get the error message "No registration. Please try again or contact administrator". We tried different AD groups and different users, all with the same behaviour. We are currently using Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 devices. SOTI Server is v.14.2.1.4394, Android Plus device Agent is Samsung ELM v13.6.0 Any ideas on how to solve this?RegardsRobin

    Enrolling interactive whiteboards with android 7/8

    Hi everyone, some customers asking me if its possible to enroll some interactive whiteboards.Their whiteboards are running with the android 7 and android 8 os. I thought that i could enroll them by using the android generic agent. But i had noluck. And the generic client is end of life. So my question is if it's somehow possible to enroll such devices? Does anyone have experience with it? Or is it impossible (at the moment?) to enroll interactive white boards based on android? Thank you.

    Profile not applying on Android+ Device - Error message received from device (Internal storage decryption not supported)

    Hi, I am trying to apply a profile to a TC75X Android+ device but I am having issues applying the profile and getting changes to apply on the device. I managed to get the device to apply the profile by removing it from the folder and adding it again but now any changes I make to the profile, nothing happens on the device and it just says "Pending Install". I just checked the Logs and we're receiving error message "Error message received from device (Internal storage decryption not supported)" This is happening on multiple devices.

    Android App Configuration

    Hi @all We are testing SOTI Mobicontrol at the moment, we'd like to install and configure Zebra Android hand scanners. The main app used on the scanners is the "warehousing-Dynamics 365 App we'd like to install and configure using the SOTI Product Installing the app works, however we still don't know how to configure it, means submitting the values for  Client ID, Client Key etc. These values are known and static for us, so how can we fill in the configuration automatically ? We've found a Hint in the manual that we can enter a "URI" in the advanced options of the "edit application  catalogue entry but we do not know how to specify this or what is the intended method for this. Anybody know how to solve this ? Kind regards Till

    How to push email configurations to Honeywell Android devices ?

    We use CT50 & CT60 and we want to push our microsoft email exchange configurations to these devices. But when i tried to add the confugurations to an Android plus profile and install the profile, i saw the device logs show "feature not supported (EXCHANGE)". In SOTI help doc it shows Active sync is not supported on Honeywell devices. So what is the alternate method we have to send email configurations to our Honeywell Android devices ? Please advise Our aim is that when the user open an email client from the device, it should ask only his user name and password and then his emails messages should be downloaded to the device from the mail server.

    Refresh Device Name in Lockdown Screen After Renaming Device

    Hello, We are displaying the %DEVICENAME% variable in our HTML device lockdown.  This part is working fine, but the issue we are running into is that once the device is added to MobiControl, we rename them to match a naming convention that the Device Add Rule cannot replicate (combination of model # and substring of serial #/IMEI#). When we rename the device the name on the lockdown screen does not update until we either make a change to the profile and re-assign it or move the device between groups that cause the profile to be re-applied. How do we automatically force the lockdown screen to refresh this variable, while it is connected, without having to move it between groups or profiles? MC: 14.1 Agent: Android + 13.5 Zebra TC56 Android 7.1.2 LG 12 Thanks, Patrick

    Data-Roaming

    Hi! We need to be able to enable Data-Roaming on devices for the SIM card to work properly. With watchsettings command in MobiControl we can get the "-glo data_roaming 1" value but writesecuresetting won't work with this command. Is there some other way of enabling data-roaming on devices, programmatically from MobiControl. The devices are Samsung devices. Since MobiControl can get the logs from the device with the particular global setting, it should also be able to change the value.

    Android Enterprise Time Synchronization and other capabilities

    Does the Time Synchronization policy not apply to Android Enterprise devices? I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of clear separation of capabilities between AE and Android Plus within the documentation and the SOTI console itself. These Advanced Configurations are listed under the Android Plus device family but Custom Data works on Android Enterprise while Time Synchronization doesn't? Is there anyway to know what scripts and Advanced Configurations do and do not work in AE without manually guessing and checking? I would expect that given that the Help documentation is a centralized web page that it could be updated more frequently.
