I am needing to retrieve the device serial number from within Soti Surf. I am attempting to make a call to an api from javascript and the macro will not translate from %SERIALNUM% to the hardware serial number. Any ideas?
Hello, I need to rename several devices and have seen that this should be possible through CA. I want to use the macro %AUTONUM%. CA has been followed as per following links: https://discussions.soti.net/articles/000002293 and https://discussions.soti.net/thread/bulk-device-rename I have created a CSV file with the correct content, and the CA is populated at Device Details, which is also visible there. The problem is that the device is named exactly "Model Name %AUTONUM%", that is, the macro does not work correctly. I've also seen that you can send a script (included in the previously referenced links), but it makes no difference. Should this work or not?
Hello, i'm trying to add a link with a macro as parameters on my Lockdown. https://my-url/url/%MAC% In order to access an internal page where the mac address is used. I tried a lot of different combination, as Intent://, Browsers://, Https://, even inputted the link right in the template. One of the intent example : intent:my-url/%MAC%/#Intent;scheme=https;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;component=com.android.chrome/com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main;end Also tried with utf-8 encoding for '%' as %25 same.. None of them is working .. Could use a little help on this ! Thanks in advance
Hi all I've set up a photo sync for our devices which works well but ideally I'd like to prepend the file name with the device name to help identify the photos. I've tried doing this as follows... but the filename just looks like this when it syncs. %PERSONALIZED_DEVICE_NAME%IMG_20210824_144205_1.jpg I've also tried %DeviceID% %DEVICENAME% and %ENROLLEDUSER_USERNAME% but nothing seems to work. I'd appreciate any advice you could offer.
Hi , We are using lockdown feature for our android plus devices and i would like to add to the screen the connection type currently in use. I found the macros to display the ip or SSID of the Wi-Fi network but i would like to display the connection type ( 4G or Wi-Fi ) . Is there any macro to do that ? Is there a list with the macros that i can use ? Thanks
Is there a macro that would report back the current Android OS Version (8.1.0) for use in a script file? Specifically looking to create an IF statement that calls the current OS Version and then calls a specific MX XML file depending on if an upgrade or downgrade needs to be performed to get the device on a specific BSP. For example: IF %OSVersion%==8.1.2 mxconfig /sdcard/OSUpdate.xml IF %OSVersion%>=9 mxconfig sdcard/OSDowngrade.xml
Hello, I've been looking around the forums for a solution but haven't really found anything that describes what I want to do despite the many questions about the device naming macros. The main thing I want to do is update the %AUTONUM% macro to start at a given number. Other things could maybe be that I want the %SERIALNUM% to only show the last 4 characters/digits of the serial number or something. We were told that the macros could be customized somehow but I can't find any info on how to do it or what the limits are or anything. I know the AUTONUM starting at a specific number is the main one we want to do. If it is possible to customer these macros, I would appreciate any info or any pointers to find that info. Thanks, Sterling
Greetings all ! Anyone using multiple macros for the device name on the Android platform ? Our current fleet (windows CE) use the following %REG://HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Intermec\SSClient?VN=UniqueID% How would we get new device enrolling, with 2 macros (name+serial) in the android world ? When I called in and asked about this, I was sent this link https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v14.1/en/console/other/macros.html But its no help.. :-( Any advise ? cheers ! Seb
Hi I am trying to add the Serial# & Model to a lockdown screen for a Motorola MC9190 WM6.5, for Android MC33 I used the following %MODEL% %SERIALNUM% which works well but this does not work for WM6.5. For WM6.5 I used the following below: Hostname: %MCDEVICENAME% gives me the hostname Serial Number: %SERIALNUM% gives me *NOSERIALNUMBER* Model: %MODEL% gives me %MODEL%
Good afternoon, We are required to add an Office 365 email signature for all of our engineers' Android tablets and I have been asked if it is possible to do this within Soti as our engineers will have issues adding this manually! I have managed to add a html signature for myself via an Exchange Active Sync profile which mirrors the company standard, however I now need to try and make this unique by user. According to the help files the only user Macros we have are %ENROLLEDUSER_DOMAIN%, %ENROLLEDUSER_EMAIL%, %ENROLLEDUSER_UPN% and $ENROLLEDUSER_USERNAME% however I am looking for a Macro that presents the user's First Name / Surname so we can add that to the signature. I appreciate we won't be able to pull location so I am planning to possibly push out multiple Exchange profiles with a target AD Group set for each location. At the moment I think it isn't possible but I thought it would be worth the ask. I have already mentioned that it may be worth using a 3rd party application to add a signature for all users but this fell on deaf ears. Thanks, Stuart
We have already tried the following, but none of these work. %OS%<br/> %OPERATINGSYSTEM%<br/> %OSversion%<br/> Can you please suggest.
Hi, I am curious if there is a way to create custom macros in addition to what's already available, such as %MAC% or %DEVICENAME%. I see in v13 scripting documentation a mention about setting variables but there is not much context provided behind where to use this syntax or what platforms are supported. My goal is to create a custom macro that is pulling custom data being collected from an ini file on the device and then to utilize that macro in my Lockdown code. I may be able to accomplish with the REST api's but haven't gone down that path quite yet.
I have to configure an application installed via a profile, is it possible to record a macro and add it to the post install script in order to configure automatically the installed application ?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone on the forum had success re-enrolling devices using a script in order to rename the devices. We started enrolling some new Android barcode scanners and went about our testing and now we need to get them all to use the same naming convention: A%AUTONUM% We have 80 devices and I would prefer to not have to manually change the device names on each and everyone. Thanks, Patrick
