  • 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 →

  • On building Android devices
    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.

  • 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.

    Today Google announced the public availability of the Android Enterprise Help Community, a community resource tied to the Android Enterprise Help Center. Driven primarily by community experts (Google Product Experts), the Help Community offers the wider ecosystem of partners and customers a place to discuss all things Android Enterprise, whether EMM issues, device questions, zero-touch queries, deployment or in-life support concerns, best practices, tips or really anything else. As long as it’s AE, it’s fair game. The community has been up and running for a little bit, and a few customers have stumbled upon it no doubt while perusing the ... read more.

  • How soon can we see a new iOS VPP app updated in WS1 UEM?
    by /u/liutiger27 on October 22, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    If you are using Apple VPP to deploy your apps, you may already know that OneDrive app on iOS is broken and won't load. The bad build is from the previous release of OneDrive app on iOS, (12.53.10, released on Oct 20). Today I see a new version 12.53.21. However, when I check on the WS1 UEM, the VPP app still shows 12.53.10 is the latest version. I know if I wait for a day or two, it will eventually be updated, but the question is this: Is there any way to let the UEM see a new version of the app and expediate the update process to all devices? Note: I tried the "SYNC ASSETS" button but the latest version is still showing 12.53.10. submitted by /u/liutiger27 [link] [comments]

  • Recommended steps for migration from InTune/AAD/MEM
    by /u/S717CH on October 20, 2021 at 4:34 pm

    So we've inherited a setup that is using AAD and Endpoint Manager (InTune). In the process of moving to WS1, have setup a Trial and will be purchasing licensing soon. So my coworker and I are in the process of testing moving machines. What we ran into when testing a windows machine was that once we removed MEM/InTune then it lost the AAD join, which now after researching is by design. So my purpose for the post is for recommendations on steps to follow. I did find one article (https://digitalworkspace.one/2020/11/13/how-to-migrate-mem-to-workspace-one/#Scenario4 ) that covered a suggested process that was essentially: Push down the migration script to the device via Intune Script will start Remove Intune via API retire command Device gets removed from Azure Active Directory PPKG gets applied to join the device back to AAD Schedule Task and a local administrator account gets created Restart User logs in again Schedule Task triggers the installation of the Workspace ONE agent with command line enrollment Wanted to see if anyone has done the same and what steps you'd recommend, any improvements on the above and ability to get by without a reboot? ​ Thanks! submitted by /u/S717CH [link] [comments]

  • Scripting in WS1
    by /u/Skyboard13 on October 15, 2021 at 4:34 pm

    I've been trying to get scripting working in WS1 from Resources -> Scripts. But no matter witch OS I try it doesn't seem to take. I create a new script (for this example we'll use a bash script to close/reopen Chrome) Name the script and give it a description, Next Details Language = Bash Execution Context = System Timeout = 15 Code = I upload my .sh file and it pastes in the code. Variable = I leave empty since my script has no variables. Save Assign to an Assignment Group Choose Run Immediately And then....nothing. It never seems to run. If I click on the name of the Script, a window pops open stating that no scripts are found. If I go to my test machine and click on Scripts, it's empty. What am I doing wrong here? submitted by /u/Skyboard13 [link] [comments]

  • All the ways that Proximity device setup can be blocked
    by /u/GeekgirlOtt on October 14, 2021 at 6:31 pm

    Brainstorm with me... I cannot find what is blocking/hiding the proximity setup option from the user. Google Fu is failing me - only leads me to an article where it can be disallowed as part of a WIPE action to block it on subsequent setup. Looking at user's devices, there is a profile containing Restrictions but it has 'allow new device proximity setup' toggled ON. What else could be controlling this ? submitted by /u/GeekgirlOtt [link] [comments]

  • Enrolling into OGs from DEP

    I'm looking to have a special set of devices enroll to users from one child OG into a different child OG based on DEP profile.

  • WS1 not allowing .apk installtion

    Hi all I have recently tried to install a .apk on my android phone. When trying to install it, I got a popup from WS1 not allowing me to get it installed.

    First time workspace one user, inherited from previous IT guy that’s gone now. When I setup new macOS devices (manual setup, no Apple mdm) and install ws1 on user device my preconfigured profiles always fail.

I can’t find any fixes online and don’t have a support license submitted by /u/Improvement_Great [link] [comments]

  • MDM license are expiring
    by /u/dpat3344 on October 7, 2021 at 9:32 am

    Hi All, Will try to make it short - I work in an IT department for a small company, and we have about 100 WS1 MDM clients installed on company laptops. Due to a change in the budget system, we will not be able to renew our existing 3 year contract and running a risk of running out of time in our agreement which is supposed to be renewed mid-November. In case that we will not be able to renew in time, will the WS1 clients keep working the same way on laptops or with less functionality? Should we consider uninstalling? Thanks submitted by /u/dpat3344 [link] [comments]

  • Enrollment
    by /u/Ok_Nectarine_561 on October 7, 2021 at 7:57 am

    As someone who is learning Workspace ONE I understand a difference between COPE, Work Profile and Managed Device. However, how do I make a device enrolled in COPE or Work profile or fully managed? I know there is option under Groups & Settings > Android > Android EMM Registration and in Enrollment settings there is Management mode for corporate devices - Work managed and COPE. But where is Work profile? submitted by /u/Ok_Nectarine_561 [link] [comments]

  • Apps installed but not installed
    by /u/barchetta8 on October 4, 2021 at 7:48 pm

    We have many native apps that we know are installed but WS1 says no. We have adjusted the "when to call it installed" using anything from a version of a file to the app ID to registry settings. Vmware admits to the issue but seem to be using us as a test bed as they keep making changes and asking for our logs. In face the most recent hub update which turned into a real mess where processor utilization went very high and apps were repeatedly installed over and over again is I believe an effort to solve this. VMWare has told me they have more than us as a client with this issue but Im wondering how many are seeing this here. It is getting annoying as I cannot trust WS1 anymore to report on app installs and we have some critical apps that I have to look to other sources to report on the true install status. I just dont have time for this. submitted by /u/barchetta8 [link] [comments]

    So, We use WS1 to push out Jive/GotoConnect VOIP desktop app. They just released an update, but instead of releasing a universal binary for MacOS, they have to parallel releases of the same version, one for Intel, and one for Apple Silicon. Does anyone know how to get WS1 to play nice in this case?
