Powering Off Android 9 Devices - Android Enterprise

NS

Hello,

I am unable to power off my Android 9 (Samsung Galaxy A50 devices) in our new Soti platform (V.15). 

Our devices are now Android Enterprise, and the scripts we have been sending are not supported. Does anybody know of anyway we can remotely turn off the devices. 

Thanks,

ECM

What are the version and build numbers of your device agent?

What script command(s) did you send?

Hello,

We currently use: MobiControl Version 15.0.1.1181., our Android version is Android 9, Agent version is 14.1.6.1018 and we use an Enterprise solution.

The script commands I have tried are:

turnoff - both in legacy and javascript
shutdown - both in legacy and javascript
 
Thanks

Hello Natalie,

Thank you for your post, unfortunately we do not have shutdown script for Android Enterprise devices as they are Managed devices.

But we can raise feature request by creating Support Ticket.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns,

Hi Natalie,

As per the solution on this post, please send the below legacy script to turn off the device:

shutdown [delay]
Where delay is a time period in seconds.

Example:
To turn off the device:
shutdown


To turn off the device in 25 seconds:
shutdown 25

Share the outcome if this solution works for you.

Hi,

I tried sending both shutdown and shutdown 25 and they were both unsupported.

Thanks

Hello Evan,

You would be able to turn off the device by the "Turn Off" device action located in the console.

Hope this helps!

This action seems not to work with android enterprise deployed devices as its requested in the first post. Is there a script / action for enterprise devices?
