Question

Disable random mac address during EMM enrollment

My company is trying to provision tablets via headwind MDM.

We have no problem on some of our networks, but the location they are being provisioned at at-scale have a strict no-random-mac address rule on their network.

Thus far I have been unable to figure out how to create a QR code that will disable random mac address on the SSID of the network the device connects to when enrolling in our MDM.

Is there a field I am missing? Surely there must be a way to overcome this.

This isn't a standard setting for most MDM solutions, and I believe it isn't in AMAPI (yet). 

 

What hardware do you have? If you have Samsung, consider using the OEMConfig for that. They have an option build in to disable random mac addresses.

This goes for several manufacturers i guess but only takes part when device is enrolled already.

 

@AFahmy did you look into the Wifi settings when enrolling the device if you can disable MAC randomization there when setting up WiFi settings there already for that specific Wifi?

 

There's no flag i know of to disable it in normal Wifi QR or QR code (enrollment) afaik.

    If you use Samsung devices, it is possible to create a KME enrollment QR code in which it is possible to add a Wi-Fi and force the use of the device's MAC address.
