Hello all,

Here is it the config we have -> soti mobicontrol v 15.5.1

device zebra tc75x under android 7 enroll android +

Actually with android +, for to have the device name we copy the settings db locate in data\data\

on an other public folder.

If device name is changed for some reason, people make a sync file and the db is copy like this we have every time the correct name.

We discover android entreprise since this weeks, and of course we'd like to get the device name because this field is used on all our apps..

I've look on device entreprise, but i can't find the same db settings :) due to security reason i suppose.

How to get the device name on android entreprise ? And if device name is changed by some persons how to have the updated name ?

thanks for your help

The problem may be dependent on your device Android version and device brand/model firmware.   One possible solution is to build or find a third-party app that can read the device personalized name, and have it written to an .ini or .xml file for data collection as custom-data supported in Soti MobiControl.
