  • Quickly Compress Video Files on macOS
    by adam on January 26, 2022 at 11:29 am

    When you record your videos with Quicktime and you end up with 1.7 GB of a file, how do you shrink that?! I’ve been using this process for a couple of years now to optimise the output size of my demo videos, to make it easier to share them in presentations, and to keep my … Continue reading "Quickly Compress Video Files on macOS"

    I recently migrated https://blog.eucse.com/blog from running on Apache to Nginx. I found it helped a lot with utilization and speed (combined with a few more tweaks), but one thing I noticed after was Jetpack wouldn’t load correctly, and some fonts and icons were showing as squares.

  • Clean up references to your custom domain name from an Azure AD test tenant
    by apcsb on October 5, 2021 at 11:50 am

    Today I needed to move my custom domain name from an old (and messy) AAD test tenant to a (sparkling) new one. Problem is, you can’t simply delete the old custom name, since your user’s UPNs and Email addresses are using it (AAD actually presents a nice screen, showing all the dependencies, but I am...

  • Viewing the encrypted Apple profiles in Workspace ONE UEM console
    by apcsb on May 18, 2021 at 7:30 am

    Apple has an option to encrypt the MDM profile payloads (both iOS and macOS). But then when you try to view the profile XML in the console (ex. migrating payloads between UAT and Production environments, working with custom profiles) – they are encrypted! Turns out, there is a way to view the XML w/o having... Continue Reading →

  • Integrating Workspace ONE reporting with PowerBI
    by apcsb on April 12, 2021 at 7:30 am

    Last week one of my customers asked if Workspace ONE data could be used in PowerBI. Since Workspace ONE Intelligence Reports are included in every WS1 edition and are accessible via API – this is the easiest way to expose data to external systems. But how exactly? Even though I’ve never used PowerBI before, after... Continue Reading →

  • AER dropped the 3/5 year update mandate with Android 11, where are we now?
    by Jason Bayton on January 11, 2022 at 5:58 pm

    Continuing on from losing my bet with Google, I’ve been spending some time with the Android security transparency report and ended up taking a long, hard look at the impact of dropping the Android 10 & below requirement for devices to receive 3/5 years of updates in order to be recommended by Google. For those who missed it, the AER requirements for Android 11 changed from a minimum update term, to the following: Google never publicly published the 3 year mandate for knowledge worker devices – for reasons unknown – but it was there nevertheless. The new requirement would make ... read more.

  • I made a bet with Google (and lost)
    by Jason Bayton on January 11, 2022 at 5:57 pm

    The year is 2020. The topic? Update prevalence & support within the Android ecosystem. Google had not long dropped the requirement mandating three* years of security updates for AER devices in favour of OEM update transparency statements – which is still a bad idea in my opinion – and I found myself expressing displeasure at the thought of long term support akin to iOS and desktop operating systems rapidly returning to little more than the pipe-dream it had been for so long. Around the same time, Google published their annual Android Security Transparency report showing an ever-improving percentage of ecosystem ... read more.

    by Jason Bayton on December 26, 2020 at 6:21 pm

    As 2020 comes to a long-overdue close and we head into what anyone can hope will be a slightly less chaotic new year, it also edges closer to what will soon be two years leading product with Social Mobile. With the results of all the hard work now materialising, I think it’s interesting to reflect on the last >18 months, what it’s lead to, and what’s next. Note: The following is a personal take on a work-related topic. For normal Android Enterprise content, please head here. The leadup I’ve spent many years on the consumer end of Android, from devices ... read more.

  • Google announce big changes to zero-touch
    by Jason Bayton on November 10, 2020 at 3:09 pm

    Google today dropped the most significant update to zero-touch since its introduction with the Google Pixel back in 2016! Rolling out over the next several months, all GMS certified Android devices – new and existing – running 9.0 or above will support zero-touch by default, with no additional OEM effort required. Why does this matter? Zero-touch, Google’s equivalent of Apple’s Device Enrolment, Samsung’s Knox Mobile Enrolment, and Microsoft’s Autopilot, allows for the assignment of a device to a customer-defined EMM platform before it’s even taken out of the box. It means I as a customer can purchase devices from a ... read more.

  • VMware announces end of support for Device Admin
    by Jason Bayton on October 1, 2020 at 3:23 pm

    This week, VMware announced their intention to end support for Device Admin based Android management. A topic I’ve covered in depth since Google’s announcement way back at the end of 2017, this has been a long time coming (so long), and trends with the wider ecosystem adoption of Android Enterprise over the last few years as Device Admin functionality has slowly but surely eroded away with each major Android release. 3 years on from that announcement it’s clear however DA isn’t going away as rapidly as some would hope; whether that’s due to slow device refresh cycles (some industries take ... read more.

  • VMware SASE and Cloud Web Security
    by virtuallyunboxed on January 22, 2022 at 3:11 pm

    Let's start with the basics! SASE is a Gartner term and is an abreviation of Secure Access Service Edge. Still not much help right? Well lets start explaining this by looking at how people typically work, espeically remotely, and how their traffic is secured. Most of you that ever work remotely will most likely use a device level VPN. This uses software on your device to create a tunnel into your company data centre and allows you to remotely access internal resources. This is how most companies have done it for many years, and it really dates back to the days when all a companies resources were in their own data centre. Tunnelling all the traffic back into the data centre was the perfect way to reach everything a remote user would need.

  • WorkspaceOne wireles profile not accepting AES encryption
    by /u/Upbeat_Turn on January 25, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    We are rolling out Meraki wireless to all our offices and we are looking to integrate it with the Okta RADIUS agent. The Okta RADIUS agent works great on a domain when the wifi profile is deployed using group policy. However, when I try to create a WiFi profile in WorkspaceOne to push out to users it doesn't work at all. Users select the SSID and get this message "If you expect to find [SSID] in this location, go ahead and connect. Otherwise, it may be a different network with the same name." Clicking on Connect just results in the same message. Here are my wifi profile settings: Security Type: WPA2 Enterprise Encryption: AES Protocols: EAP-TTLS Authentication: Inner Identity Username/Password Trusted Certificates: Certificate #1 Trusted Server certificate: [thumbprint goes here] After saving and publishing the new profile the encryption setting is reset to TKIP. I tried changing various settings and I always get the same behavior; encryption gets reset to TKIP. Has anyone successfully deployed a WorkspaceOne wifi profile that works with AES? I'm configuring exactly as specified in the Okta RADIUS documentation and as I mentioned it works perfectly when pushed from a group policy. I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Any help is appreciated! submitted by /u/Upbeat_Turn [link] [comments]

  • Turn off Bitlocker for 1 Device
    by /u/dman4514 on January 24, 2022 at 10:54 pm

    In our profile for Windows laptops, we force Bitlocker encryption. I'm try to troubleshoot a Bitlocker issue on 1 device. When we try to turn off Bitlocker, it is automatically re-enabled almost instantly. Is there a way to turn off bitlocker for 1 device? I was thinking uninstall profile and reinstall when we are done troubleshooting, but I've seen this process fail. Since I'm working with a remote employee, I would rather avoid this method if I can. submitted by /u/dman4514 [link] [comments]

    We have blocked Google playstore in our environment but somehow a special kind of device(spectralink tc372) is trying to install an update of a public application which then redirects the user to playstore and they're able to install the newer version which I believe isn't compatible and is causing issues. Also after installation we see 2 different versions of the app, on is managed and another one is unmanaged(newer version) submitted by /u/Meet974 [link] [comments]

  • Smart Group based on App Installed
    by /u/syllang on January 20, 2022 at 6:31 pm

    I am new to Workspace One and I am looking for a way to create a smart group based on an app that is installed. The issue we are facing is that we have created a wrapper for our software packaging. Each software package needs that script and a runtime installed on our Windows clients to run. The plan would be to install those two apps and then the clients would go into a smart group based on those apps being installed. That group would then be the basis for every group we use to assign every apps. I know that I could simply create a dependency. I would like to avoid having to link a dependency on every software packages (+500) we have to import in Workspace One. Am I looking at this the wrong way? submitted by /u/syllang [link] [comments]

  • Workspace ONE UEM --- Android Location Notifications
    by /u/iliketacobell on January 19, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    We're new to the UEM world. We've been running Knox for about three years and we've made the jump. Everything is setup perfectly for our corporate-owned Android Samsung tablets --- except one thing. I added a Profile - Permissions and gave full GRANT on all permission on about 3 apps that require location tracking. The tablet will constantly alert that "Your IT admin is allowing X to access your location". If you clear the notifications, sooner or later it will all trigger again. We're using Launcher, if that makes a difference. submitted by /u/iliketacobell [link] [comments]

  • Problems installing apps - App Deployment installation failed
    by /u/BISOFH on January 17, 2022 at 5:30 am

    I'm currently road-testing Workspace One, and I'm running into an issue where the App Deployment Agent (and therefore basically anything I'm trying to do) keeps failing to install. I've checked the logs and found an error code, 2147023277, which keeps showing up. Its happening on may devices, straight from factory PC's, VMWare VM's, and completely provisioned PC's. I cant find any reference to the code online, there's nothing helpful in the event viewer, and the simple error of "installation failed" isn't helping. I've tried repairing the hub install, doesn't seem to help at all. Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas? submitted by /u/BISOFH [link] [comments]

  • WS1 user device enrollment asking for 2 verification steps while configured with saml.
    by /u/ek_1 on January 13, 2022 at 1:43 pm

    Hi! We are looking into deploying WS1 and as part of it people will be able to enroll their devices by signing in to the intelligent hub app. We are using Google as our IDP with saml integration to WS1 Access. But when a user sign in it goes through the whole sign in with google account and after that it asks for a workspace one account. How can I make this more seamless so they only require authentication with the google accont? submitted by /u/ek_1 [link] [comments]

  • Push files to Android using Workspace ONE UEM

    I have fleet of android devices with an an app that can be configured with custom settings. During pilot, we’ve been having humans configure the app. We can configure the app using a config file, but need to find an automated way to deploy that config file to a specific folder on the android device. The app is unmanaged, and installed by default on this device. Can this be done using Workspace ONE UEM.

  • Set default windows apps WS1
    by /u/NathanTheGr8 on January 12, 2022 at 4:40 pm

    How do other admins set the default app associations with WS1? In the past, I have run the DISM commands during OSD before a user logs in. However, with WS1 all the apps install after a user logs in. Is there a way to run an app or script before the user logs in? The goal is to set outlook and adobe reader as the default for mail and pdf. However, I would still like to let the user change their apps later on so I don't think I want to manage the apps as a profile or GPO-like setting. submitted by /u/NathanTheGr8 [link] [comments]

  • Password rotation issue on MacOS
    by /u/aviendharwen on January 12, 2022 at 3:29 pm

    Hi all, When we enroll a Mac, there's a hidden local admin account that is created with a randomly generated password, which is a WSOne feature. The first password works fine. Once it's used, it is reset 8 hours later. In the console, both the old and new password are displayed. The Mac communicates correctly with WSOne: the AWCM status is connected. The issue is, when the password is rotated, it doesn't always work. The old one doesn't work either. This problem is completely random as the next password may very well work, there's no way to tell. Rebooting the Mac, doing queries and syncs with WSOne, nothing helps. If any of you has experienced this issue and found a fix, I will be eternally grateful. 🙂 Edit: Tested with Big Sur & Monterey, Intel & Silicon. WSOne version: 2105 submitted by /u/aviendharwen [link] [comments]

  • WS1 Computer group based on AD OU
    by /u/barchetta8 on January 11, 2022 at 7:51 pm

    We have devices in stock which we do not want to be subject to compliance policies. They are parked in an AD OU. Im not seeing a method to somehow exclude devices based on AD ou. We do this with users (ldap), but Im not seeing an option for connecting a smart label or OG to an AD OU.. is this the way it is? Essentially it means we have to maintain a group within WS1 on top of AD if this is the case, so thought Id ask. submitted by /u/barchetta8 [link] [comments]

  • WS1 Migration

    Hello, I’m looking at migrating WS1 to intune and jamf. My current WS1 profiles enable encryption (bitlocker and FileVault) is there a way to migrate encryption keys or to turn off encryption on all my mdm managed devices so then I can re-encrypt on the new MDM? I know I can manually do this but if it’s possible though WS1 before enrolling with jamf/intune that’d be ideal. submitted by /u/Improvement_Great [link] [comments]

  • Samsung Camera Default Viewer
    by /u/snewton_8 on January 4, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    We are a fully work managed (no COPE) Samsung shop with S10, S21s. There have been a few rare cases where the system apps won't install on a device. In some cases having the user perform a factory reset and re-enroll fixes the issue. Yes, we have the Application Control Profile pushed and verified it installed. For those that don't have time to do that immediately or if they did that and still don't see Gallery, we made Gallery Go available for download. This works with viewing pictures on the device perfectly. The problem comes in when they take a picture and they are unable to view the shot they just took because Gallery Go isn't set as a default viewer for the camera but it is for all other pictures on the device. I've exhausted my google-fu trying to figure out how to make Gallery Go the default viewer for the camera app but I'm coming up with nothing. The closest I have found is to have the user go into the Gallery app and clear defaults and the next picture will prompt for the app to use. The problem here is that we don't have the Gallery installed to do that. Ideas? submitted by /u/snewton_8 [link] [comments]

Now the time is off on the reporting on the landing page. used to show people logging in up to the minute. It bounces around all the time. I have rebooted the appliances, the connectors, the UAG's. the only thing I did not do yet is reboot SQL. the time shows perfectly in the systems diagnostics page. We are trying to get to the next version as well. just curious if anyone has ever come across this and knows how to fix it. I have a case open, but its taking forever to get addressed.
