I've been instructed to create a dummy application - with a cost to do so - in order to enroll Windows 10 Modern. What is the reason behind this and can anyone explain the cost? Is it a one time fee, yearly, monthly etc cost?
Hello Michelle Porreca,
Thank you for posting your question on Soti Central,
Please take a look at our help documentation regarding Windows Notification Service
Which goes into detail and provided additional links to Microsoft for further information
Also note you can opt out of the Windows Notification service and still enroll windows 10 Modern
Hope you find this information helpful.
I believe it's a stupid way for Microsoft to confirm someone as a suitable MDM administrator with proper identification entities (Package Family Name (PFN), Package Family Name (PFN), etc.) required for WNS configuration/integration in 3rd party MDM solution.
To minimize or even eliminate the cost, you can find friend/colleague with licensed Microsoft development tools and developer's license to help. Ask him/her to compile a dummy hello-world like application. That's what I did.
Without WNS configured, you cannot freely initiate policy configuration on your targeted device remotely at ANY time you want, but your MDM server have to WAIT for the targeted device to initiate connection back to the server at preset SCHEDULED time only. Personally, I believe having WNS is essential for efficient MDM operations.
