Is there a blog article on Configuring VPN on managed ChromeOS devices that meets the NCSC.gov.uk guidelines, to work with AWS ideally but Google cloud is an option. https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance/platform-guides/chrome-os Configure a virtual private network (VPN) where required:ChromeOS supports the use of NCSC recommended protocol IPSec IKEv2 which can be configured using the built-in client. This can  be deployed via an MDM (such as Google Workspace).If a third party VPN is required, use an official Android app deployed by the Google Play Store to manage and configure the connection on ChromeOS.When using third party VPN solutions, you should test that ChromeOS, Crostini and Android traffic are protected by the VPN (where required) and that the VPN is automatically started.Requirements above.  Ideally Split tunnel so that Google Workspace traffic ( like Google Meet) does not go over the VPN.Managed from the google

Hello peeps I fancied running automated network connectivity checks in one of my apps. Pulled in the list from the Devices category of  network requirements and it looks like one of the OTA cache servers has been down for at least a week.  ota-cache2.googlezip.net I raised it quietly but figured it was worth calling out here also.

Can we get clarity as to why Lacros was pulled and if their are any plans to replace it?

Hi, We have an issue in our tenant with BYOD device enrollment (Personally owned with Work Profile). We use Intune as EMM. We want to push a WiFi policy to our devices but we do not want to preconfigure auto-connection for our users. Our users must manually connect to the network. The problem is that this setting is not supported for BYOD in Intune, so we have no control over it. In addition, the default behaviour of the devices (tested in Realme, Xiaomi, Nokia, Google, Samsung phones) is that autoconnect is enabled by default. Even if the user disables it, next Intune sync enables it back.  Finally, I checked the policy via graph API and I see that: "connectAutomatically": false,    "connectWhenNetworkNameIsHidden": false,    "wiFiSecurityType": "wpaEnterprise", Is this setting not honored by the OS? Is there anything we can do about it?

Hello everyone ,Does anyone use knox sdk restricted method ?  We have an app that has a driving mode and the apps is used for security purpose . Of course the app use  know high restrictions feature like disable apps or enable/disable voice restrictions .  Our xcover on android 15 , we have a message error that's say the app is not running in device owner mode : SecurityException: Caller is not DO or PO or KPU. According to Samsung post here , our app in android 15 will loose many restrictions we use . My question is how we can update to android 15 ? Our device is managed by Ivanti . The device owner of our device is the ivanti app and thus it can use  knox sdk restrictions . I am pretty sure we can't have 2 apps being device owner if i am not wrong  but i didn't find the proof yet . Sounds like the solution is to manage our device with only our EMM which doesn't satisfy our needs .Does anyone have any other idea  ? It's a specific case actu

Hello Team Is there any possibility to link Android Zero touch portal with an Access Management tool with the APIs? We have our internal access management tool of our organization. We want to link the ZTE portal so that the request and permission for adding and deleting admins can be managed by Access management tool. Is there any API for that?

Dear Android Enterprise Team and Community, I hope you're doing well. I submitted the “Get in touch” form on the Android Enterprise website and received the confirmation email on May 30, which I have already responded to. However, I haven’t received any follow-up or contact from a specialist since then. We are exploring Android Enterprise solutions for our business and are interested in understanding the next steps to get started. Could someone from the team or community please assist or guide me on how to proceed? If additional information is required from my side, I’d be happy to provide it. Thank you for your support.   Best regards,  Deepak  Alobha Technologies Pvt Ltd (This post was edited to remove personal information, in compliance with our guidelines) 

Hello community,I’m facing a situation where we need to set Device Owner (DO) mode on several company-owned Android devices that are already in use and have a Google account logged in.Constraints:- The devices are company property.- Factory reset is not an option due to important data stored on the devices.- We want to enforce MDM policies via Device Owner for security and compliance.Questions:Is it possible to set Device Owner mode on an Android device without wiping or resetting, when a Google account is already signed in?Are there any known solutions or MDM platforms/tools that can claim an already-used device into Device Owner mode without data loss?I would really appreciate any guidance, proven methods, or official references. Our goal is to maintain data integrity while ensuring the devices are properly managed.Thanks in advance!

Hello,We have Android phones included inMDM. I want to see the apps that drain the battery. The personal profile shows the apps that drain the battery. The applications in the job profile are not showing up. Is there any way to view this in detail? 

A few years ago we added an MDM configuration to our app, according to the straightforward guide Setup managed configurationPrevious month we released a new 15.0.0 version of our app, IQ SmartApp EnterpriseBesides other changes, in this release we removed one option from the MDM configuration XML, a deprecated boolean parameter. Indeed the XML validity wasn't broken, no related changes in the app Manifest or so on.However our customers started to complain, that app lost the ability to configure MDM parameters. Also, when adding the app to Approved list on MDM Solutions (we checked on HMD and TinyMDM), in the app details was lost a badge "Tis app offers managed configuration". If download AAB and/or APK from Google Play Console and unpack them, or open them in Android Studio, the required Android Manifest parameter "android.content.APP_RESTRICTIONS" is present and pints to MDM XML config file which is also present in the AAB or APK. If check the APK, taken from Google Play Con

Hi everyone. May we know what might be the issue here. We are trying to bind an email address with Sophos Mobile (under Android Enterprise) and this shows the following error. Other email works fine.

I'm looking for a way to block the dinosaur game in chrome on Android. I see the AllowDinosaurEasterEgg managed configuration but that is only for desktop Chrome. Are there any plans to implement this for Android? Is there another way to achieve this? This is a high priority request from our customer to the point where we see the only solution is to switch browsers. Thank You

The ability to apply a managed configuration to Gbaord has disappeared. We think this is due to a recent change to the Gboard app where Google has removed this ability.   Environment:MDM = Omnissa Workspace One UEM (we are also hearing reports of this impacting SOTI customers as well)Rugged Zebra Mobile devices, majority running either A11 or A13Leads:Managed App configs are still present on Chrome & ServiceNow Now Agent, hence why we believe this is not an MDM Console issue. We have escalated to Omnissa support anyway, who have in turn escalated to Google.Is anyone else seeing this issue?

I work for an MSP.  We have taken on a new customer that has lost the password for their EMM Bind account (EMM is Intune).  Has anyone else been through a recover process for this and have any advice?  The have approx 200 devices enrolled, so we can't risk them having to be enrolled.

Hello guys. Can i get a ideia about the Motorola G05 compatibility with the Android enterprise service and VMWARE MDM

I have added a private app to our managed play store (MS Intune) and followed the steps documented in Distribute private apps to make this available to a partner organization but unfortunately when they attempt to add the app to their UEM solution (Omnissa Workspace ONE) by play store URL they receive a http 404 response and cannot proceed.We have shared an app with them previously (same app, different productFlavor with app id suffix) and that worked seamlessly so we are bit stumped. Reaching out to our respective vendors has not been fruitful so it's not entirely clear what to do next, would appreciate any advice you have!

Hi,Does Google offer any caching service to help reduce bandwidth usage when deploying apps through an EMM solution?For example, in the case of public iOS applications, Apple provides a Content Caching service that speeds up downloads and reduces bandwidth consumption: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/depde72e125f/web.Regards.

I have some customer who uses my EMM console integrated with Zero touch services. Some of his previous used device added in zero touch portal but not activate the device as enterprise device that  means not enroll in emm portal. Rather using the devices as personal.Is it violate the google zero touch policy?
