Android device enrolment issue - MDM app is not being installed during the sign-in process
Hi mdas86
How are you?
I have done some research into your question -
Are you receiving specific prompts when the MDM app fails to install? Is the issue with MDM app installation occurring on all devices?
One possibility is that Cyberark has undergone a password rotation, possibly due to an auto annual rotation. It might be helpful to verify the password values assigned to the Android Management account within Cyberark to ensure they match the intended password.
Additionally, it's worth checking within the Google Admin directory or identity services to confirm if the account used to set up the owner enrollment is active and free from any flags or token issues.
To troubleshoot, you could create a local account in your MDM and utilize those credentials to temporarily enroll a device. This test would help determine if the issue persists with a different set of credentials.
I hope the above helps, if you have solved the issue please let us know 😊

Hi ReeceK ,
Thanks for the update!
Are you receiving specific prompts when the MDM app fails to install? - No,
Its completing the device set-up without downloading the MDM app and after this when I tried to open Play Store app, its not connecting (account sync is not happening). Actually it should connect to see all managed apps (https://play.google.com/work/apps)
if I connect(using my test account) to https://play.google.com/work/apps in chrome browser, I could able to connect and see all managed apps without any issue.
Is the issue with MDM app installation occurring on all devices? - Yes
create a local account in your MDM - I have created test account in Google Admin with third-party integration with Android EMM, unfortunately same issue is happening
FYI - These steps have been used to download MDM app
Company-owned device
If you have a new or factory-reset device, add your managed Google account during device setup:
- Turn on your device.
- Follow the on-screen steps until you're prompted to enter a Google Account.
- Enter your managed Google account and password.
- Follow the on-screen steps until setup is complete.
Hi mdas86
Thanks for getting back to me.
I am going to go back to my colleagues and get more answers for you, the problem sounds like it might lie with the MDM app installation process or perhaps with the permissions/authentication during the installation.
Whilst I await a response on my end, have you reached out to your internal support channels of the MDM provider to investigate this matter further?.
Additionally, have you double-checked the permissions and configurations within your Google Admin console and Android EMM settings related to app installations and device management could also be beneficial in troubleshooting this issue?.
Just want to make sure that this has been looked into internally on your end, as well as here in the community.Thanks again mdas86
Hi mdas86
I've had a chat with my colleague, and here's the feedback regarding your question:
It's intriguing that there are no error messages when the MDM app fails to install.
It seems like more of a DPC issue if the problem persists even after trying with a local test account. Have you contacted your EMM about this? What have they discovered so far? Also, have they supplied the latest patch for the DPC app? If they have, it's advisable to utilize the most recent version in this case.
Hope this information proves useful,
Reece
Hi ReeceK ,
Thank you for all details, Its definitely help to troubleshoot the issue.
I am in contact with our IT support team to check with EMM set-up with Google. Also verifying the configuration in Google Admin console using test account. We didn't find any resolution till now.
It seems like more of a DPC issue - need to investigate and understand how this is related with authentication failure.
Thank you!
