How do we link the lockdown icon with an URL shortcut file for Windows Mobile devices?

WW

I know we can browse the website via browse:// as mentioned by the following SOTI online help.

https://goo.gl/fZnZfY

However, my situation is every devices need to browse a website which has no convention logic of the URL .

I have to manually create multiple Website.url files with different URL and push them to corespondent devices.

All the devices are enrolled within one group and i don't want to create different lockdown menus for each devices (1000+).

I need to be able to open the url shortcut of \application\Website.url from SOTI lockdown page.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

You could try and launch the URL via a .LNK file that can be written in notepad.

  • Locate the program you wish to use on the device and note the path, for example "\Windows\Browser.exe"
  • Locate the URL file that can be opened by that program and note the path, for example "\Application\Website.URL"
  • Open a new notepad and write down the information in the following format:
  • XX#"\Windows\Browser.exe" "\Application\Website.URL"
  • Change XX to the number of characters and spaces after the hash. In this example case it is 49.
  • 49#"\Windows\Browser.exe" "\Application\Website.URL"
  • Save the file as a .LNK file.
  • Transfer the LNK file to the device. Preferably in the Application folder.
  • In the Lockdown Configuration. Enter just the LNK file path.
