    Issues enrollment iPadOS 17.2 (iPad partially set up)

    Hi, We have a few iPads that need to be enrolled, they were updated to iPadOS 17.2 and when I use Apple Configurator to get them in Business Manager I get the following error message: "This iPad is already partially set up. This could affect the security of your device. Would you like to erase the partial set-up and start again, or continue with the existing set-up?" If I choose "Erase and Start Again" the process is restarted but I come back to the same screen. If I choose to proceed I can enroll the device in Mobicontrol and can manage it without issue.  Has anyone else been experiencing the same problem and how have you dealt with it? What are the risks of choosing "Continue with partial set-up?"

    Add Home Screen Item which sends script to device Solved

    Hello, sometimes our devices have an internet connection via WIFI or mobile but they are shown as disconnected in the mobicontrol console. I think that the script '_resetfailedrcdetectionflag restartagent' would help in this instance but as there is no connection from the console to the device I can't send the script. My idea was to create a home screen item which execute the script but I don't know which action need to be chosen or how to build the intent for the script. The devices are enrolled via AE and we are using the activity suppression in our lockscreen. Kind regards, Lucas

    Flashlight Shortcut Kiosk Mode

    Hi Everyone, I am searching for an opportunity to create a shortcut for the flashlight in a lockdown. This only belongs Zebra devices with Android 13 in my case. Maybe in the future also M3 Mobile SM15X devices. Does anyone have an idea how to create such a shortcut? As I saw it correctly the flashlight isn't an application itself.

    Unsafe App Blocked

    Hi,We have an app that google play protect won't install unless we physically press "Install Anyway" The message is "This app was built for an older version of Android and doesn't include the latest privacy protectionsInstalling this app may put your device at risk. Install Anyway"Once you click install anyway the app installs fine.The issues we face is if you don't hit install anyway fast enough the app fails and you need to go into SOTI and push the reinstall starting the process again. This is a huge pain when you manage fleet in the thousands. I fear what will happen if the app is removed from devices in the field and it needs to be redeployed. We cannot expect the end users to manually select "install anyway" If they do see the message at all. What can we do within SOTI to force the install? Device;Zebra TC56 / 57  OS Version8.1.0 Agent Version2024.0.2.1131 OEM     02-52-21.00-OG-U09-STD

    Is it possible to execute JavaScript-Scripts with MC Packages? Solved

    Hey Guys, we're using a lot of legacy Scripts in our Packages without any issue. Now we have a Demand to execute a JavaScript-Script inside a Package but I won't get this thing running.The Script works fine when I use "Send Script" but we want to deploy it as a Package (so also Filesync and / or Task Scheduler is actually not an option for us). Is there any chance to get this running? Or it is actually not supported to use JS with MC-Studio? Kind regards

    Creating Profiles via API through PowerShell

    Hello! I have been trying to create a profile through PowerShell and the MobiControl API. The end goal is to have a package assigned to it as well. Have been trying the following: Using Content-Type text/xml $xmltest = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Profile>    <Name>APITest_NewProfile</Name>    <Description>Test</Description>    <DeviceFamily>AndroidPlus</DeviceFamily>    <DeviceFamilyQualification>AndroidWork</DeviceFamilyQualification></Profile>' $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$MCFQDN/mobicontrol/api/profiles" -ContentType "text/xml" -Method POST -Headers $Header -Body $xmltest -Verbose I have also tried with a hashtable too, but either way I get the same error:"profileRequest: Error parsing value Contract validation failed" I have looked at the api list, and it appears to me that these is the minimal required fields when not attaching a package. Thanks in advance Mikael

I do not want to do these steps for all scanners. Also interesting is that not all scanners same modell, OS and Velocity app version have the issue. The Velocity app version is: 2.33.23269 OS is Android 11 (11-16-05.00-RG-U22-STD-HEL-04)

    My Samsung devices are reporting inaccurate device time, cannot set the Time Zone as devices are physically moving across time zones regularly (e.g. devices in vehicle).

    Devices are being kitted for a new deployment and are powered down and shelved after kitting is complete. When the devices are coming on line some of them are showing inaccurate time reported in the logs. Is there a way to automate the time zone settings to enable these 2 settings as we already have a number of devices that have been completed.
