Can you skip network connection in Android Enterprise Edition?
I think you'll need to speak to Samsung on this.
If the devices are showing correctly registered in ZT either via IMEI1 or SN & hardware details, and the config is assigned, it sounds to me like a bug in the build missing a step.
Are you buying enterprise edition models or anything outside of standard off-shelf devices from a normal retailer?
Are you able to flash/update with e-FOTA or OTA these devices to their latest builds and verify the behaviour still happens?
To my knowledge and based on actual testing, because Zero Touch relies on the device connecting to Google's servers over the internet for verification, even if the setup wizard initially opts for an offline configuration, once the device connects to the internet, the system, through Google Play Services, detects Zero Touch settings and will mandates a forced reset of the device.
We have over 40 devices uploaded to ZTP six months ago but when started and connected to internet nothing happens. And still my question remains about the mandatory internet connection at the initial startup and set-up of the device.
Isn't this policy / feature (that you MUST connect to a network) by default set to TRUE for all Android Enterprise? Or is it different based on Android version?
