    How to return user to Kiosk screen after app logout Solved

    On android, how can I return users to the Kiosk screen that we have setup instead of them going to the application configuration screen once logging out of the application?  The application is Infor Lawson MSCM.  I believe if I could simply send a back arrow it would do it, but I'm not positive on that or how to try it.

    O365 Conditional access integration sync

    Does anyone know what happens if you bind Mobicontrol to Azure/Intune for the Microsoft Office 365 integration if you press the sync button when everything is properly configured? Are all devices synced to intune? Or can you filter a certain group in Mobicontrol to sync to intune. We want to exclude MFA for an office app at Mobicontrol managed android devices. But as long as the devices are not known in intune we cannot use this as a filter. Also there are a lot of Mobicontrol devices which don't need office apps and we don't want them to be manged in both Mobicontrol and Intune.

    Force auto logout of MS applications

    Is there a way to enforce autologout of MS apps using the native android activity timer.  We have shared devices that use MS apps, teams, outlook and another custom app that authenticates to Azure and we want to ensure that if a user forgets to log out that the device will after a period of time lapses.

    Samsung A7 (220T) - "Wipe data/factory reset" not available in Android Recovery

    We are not seeing the "Wipe data/factory reset" option when initiating the Android Recovery on Samsung A7 (220T). We have modified the Factory Reset Protection to both Enabled and Disabled.  Also, tried removing the Factory Reset Protection all together.  Each change, we confirmed the device received the latest Profile change.   Thoughts?

    SOTI Surf Rotation

    I am currently working with a WT6300 RF Mobile computer and we have it set in landscape mode however when using SOTI surf the application is still rotating.  Do we know if there is a system in which we can stop that? While disable auto rotate does help it when it is being worn it still rotates when docked..

    Upgrade enterprise iOS app with IPA file

    Hello, if we have distributed an Enterprise iOS app with an IPA file and we need to upgrade it to a new version, would I just upload this over the existing file in the App Policy? I'm pretty sure this is the case but I'm working with a third party app so have limited opportunity to test.

    Fresh install of MobiControl – Replacing old version, what happens to the old license when activating the new?

    Hi, We are currently running SOTI MobiControl 13.4.0.5290. The server is originally Windows Server 2008, upgraded to 2019.  The server is in a network zone which is soon to be shut off. Instead of moving and keep going with this old (physical) server, we have set up a new server for MobiControl and a new sql server. 15.6.3.1018 installed on the new environment, but not registered yet. The plan is to safely "send" the devices from the old environment to the new one, by installing the new agent. To access the new Web Console and create this agent, we would first need to go through product activation. What happens to the activation/license of the old environment when we do so? Would we lose contact with the devices straight away? Meaning this approach won't work?  Side-note: The new server does not have internet, but the old one does.  Any thoughts? I see the recommended approach is to migrate, but we would very much like to only have a few devices moved from the old to the new, as to test the functionality before we publish to the rest..

    How long for MacOS Enterprise apps to install?

    Hi I installed a MacOS application to 6 Macs using an App Policy - Enterprise (pkg import), mandatory installation. Today I wanted to install an update, so I deleted the app from the App policy and added a new app, uploading the new pkg and assigning to the group of Macs. Although MobiControl says that the policy was assigned, none of the Macs have the new version installed. The local MobiControl agent control panel says that the app is installing on each Mac - but it's 4 hours later and none have installed. How long should I expect this process to take? I can't find any useful log files. Thanks James

    Enroll Android device Solved

    We're moving from another MDM and I need to enrol about 50 Android phones. By removing them from the existing MDM I will effectively end up with factory reset phones so this will be the same as enrolling them out of the box. I have set up my enrolment policy with a managed enterprise binding and management type = work managed. However, I can't for the life of me see how to enrol these devices without first setting them up as individual user phones. To download MobiControl, I need to go through a complete personal user setup process including logging into the Play Store. To use the Enrolment URL I also need to go through the user setup process, and then again it asks me to log into the PlayStore.  In the competing (poor quality) MDM, I have the option of clicking the Android screen 8 times and then scanning a QR code to take me into a work enrolment process. Is there nothing like that in MobiControl? Am I really expected to manually configure 50 phones just to un-configure them again and enrol to our network? I really hope I'm missing something here. Thank you

    MobiControl Upgrade Failure HELP

    I am trying to upgrade an existing instance of MobiControl running version 13.4.0.4449 to the latest 15.6 version.  During the installation process I got a catastrophic error message during the installation and had to do a manual restore to get the services back up.  I'm including the portion of the logs that detail the error.  I can't find anything on getting past this. I ran the upgrade under and a domain admin account and used the sa account against the sql database which is SQL Express 2016 running the latest CU.
