Soti Work Managed Device Enrollment

How do I typically enroll a "Work Managed Device" into Soti MobiControl?

On the Soti MC web console:

  • Prepare an Enrollment policy that can optionally link to a Managed Enterprise Account (free, allows you to publish apps from Google Play or private apps for installation on mobile devices):

On a GMS-enabled mobile device:

  • If a Google account is configured on your device, remove it.
  • Reset the device to factory defaults.
  • Select your language in the Startup Wizard, and connect to a Wi-Fi network with an internet connection if you don't connect via mobile data:
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 01 soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 02
  • Select "Set up as new device".
  • Type afw#mobicontrol in the "Email or phone" field and press Next:
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 03
  • After installing the MobiControl agent, enter the Enrollment ID or server address corresponding to your enrollment policy:
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 04
  • Agree to use MobiControl:
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 06
  • Confirm that the device is not private and enable Google services (no diagnostic data needs to be sent):
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 06 soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 07
  • If the registration is successful, the agent connects to the MobiControl Deployment server and starts applying Soti profiles and policies:
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 08
  • If the "Apps Policy" with installation of apps from corporate Google Play is in place and the device has been enrolled using a policy with a reference to this Managed Google Account, apps marked as Mandatory will be installed automatically:
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 09
  • The icons displayed on your mobile device only contain the basic set of apps (Chrome, Contacts, Settings, Files, Phone). If you need to display system apps, you can use the (legacy) Soti script command enable_system_app, e.g. enable_system_app com.zebra.devicemanager:
    soti ae enrollment wmd agent install 10
  • If you "Un-enroll" the device, the content (apps, settings, data) installed via Soti MobiControl will be removed and the device will be ready for a new enrollment.
