Share your deployment experiences with Android zero-touch enrollment
Hey everyone, In ‘5 Overlooked Benefits of Android Enterprise’, we touched on Android zero-touch enrollment, and it’s something many of you are actively using to streamline your device rollouts. For those in IT, Android zero-touch can be a powerful tool - see our handy guide to learn more. It’s about getting devices to your users ready to go, automatically enrolling in your EMM and pulling down all the right policies as soon as they connect. That means less hands-on time for your team and a smoother experience for end-users. We know real-world deployments always have their nuances, but it would be great to hear about your deployment experiences using zero-touch enrollment: Did you overcome any unexpected hurdles? What was the scale of your deployment - a few devices for new joiners, or hundreds for a company-wide refresh? If you could share one key tip or best practice for someone looking to nail their next zero-touch deployment, what would it be? We’re all here to learn from each other’s stories, and your insights are super valuable. I’m looking forward to reading your stories! Chat soon, Emilie

Barcode setup without ENROLLMENT_TOKEN
Hi We are preparing to enroll over 600 Zebra and Honeywell barcode scanners into Microsoft Intune. These devices are distributed across more than 250 locations and span over 35 distinct configuration profiles. To ensure a smooth rollout, especially for our non-technical users, we aim to automate the enrollment process as much as possible—minimizing manual input and reducing the risk of user errors, including Wi-Fi setup. Our intended workflow is for users to simply scan a QR code at the initial "Hi there" screen. This QR code should contain the necessary Wi-Fi configuration and trigger device provisioning via the Google Zero-Touch portal, bypassing the setup wizard entirely. However, when we generate a QR code using the following JSON configuration, the Wi-Fi settings are not being applied as expected. After the QR code is scanned, the device proceeds to the Wi-Fi setup screen, where users are required to manually enter the network configuration. According to Google’s documentation, the EXTRA_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN is optional. Is it possible to fully automate this step without including the token, or is it required in practice for the Wi-Fi configuration to be applied correctly? Any help would be much appreciated—thank you! { "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME": "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc/.receivers.CloudDeviceAdminReceiver", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_SIGNATURE_CHECKSUM": "I5YvS0O5hXY46mb01BlRjq4oJJGs2kuUcHvVkAPEXlg", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION": "https://play.google.com/managed/downloadManagingApp?identifier=setup", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": { "android.app.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_WIFI_SSID": "**SSID**", "android.app.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_WIFI_PASSWORD": "**PASSWORD**", "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_SECURITY_TYPE": "WPA", "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_SKIP_USER_CONSENT": true, "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_SKIP_USER_SETUP": true, "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_SKIP_ACCOUNT_SETUP": true, "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.extra.PROVISIONING_SKIP_EDUCATION_SCREENS": true } }

Zero Touch MDM Phones Randomly Factory Resetting
Hello We have been having an issue over the past few weeks/months where Android devices are randomly resetting. The phones are zero touch enrolled and managed by Intune via COPE, we apply configuration and compliance policies to these devices. One of these configurations enforces a device wipe after so many failed pin code failures. This is the only known wipe configuration set on the devices. We have exhausted the configuration side and do not see a root cause other than user error, however this is not really likely given it takes some effort to actually do this. From googling online, we can see that this may be an issue relating to the play version not updating correctly, is this still an issue? Random factory resets after devices complete GZT configuration. | Android Enterprise Customer Community - 2236 These devices are a mix of newly enrolled and also old enrolled devices. They have also been setup with Wi-Fi. Thanks
Zero Touch Portal Setup - Error 403 on login
Hi, My reseller has set-up an account linked to a corporate Google account. When I try to login to https://partner.android.com/zerotouch using that account I get a "403, The account doesn't have permission to see this page. Contact your admin for access or use a different account." error. My reseller has confirmed the account is set up and is using the correct email address. Who do I need to contact to get this resolved? Thanks
Zero Touch Portal - Error Message
Hi Team, I have created a new configuration item and linked it to Microsoft Intune token. Then I have decided to remove the Intune token configuration before removing the configuration file from Zero touch (which I dont think it should matter). Then I went to remove the configuration item from Zero touch and was getting a strange error message, see below. Now I'm left with a configuration item in Zero touch that I can't remove. Can someone please help or reach out, that would be great. Also, let me know if there is anything else you require from my end.
