Looking for solutions to assist in Bulk Management (Wipe) of Android Enterprise devices
Hi everyone, I'm turning to the community to see if there are any solutions being used out in the wild that assist with bulk wiping Android devices. I suspect that what I'm asking may not be possible - mainly due to the nature of Android Developer Options, USB Debugging etc. - but I've been I've been tasked by our management to investigate and possibly propose a solution. As an example, we currently use several Cambrionix ThunderSync3 16 port devices to DFU both iOS and macOS devices but they don't offer a similar solution for Android. Are there any solutions that can be used either in tandem with docking stations like Cambrionix or some other. Our use case is Work Managed and we use Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM to manage the devices. The devices themselves are Pixels and Samsungs. and each device is loaded into either the Google Zero Touch Portal or the Samsung Knox Portal. The expectation is that when a large number of Androids are returned for whatever reason, we'd like to be able to plug the device into a "station" and programatically wipe them en masse. Personally, I think we need to simplify our returns process and use the MDM in a controlled environment but I have to have asked these questions, due diligence and all that. Thanks in advance for your input.
Play Protect Blocking Custom DPC Apps — How to Get Approval or Alternatives?
Hi everyone, I'm a developer who helps enterprises build custom DPC (Device Policy Controller) Reference Documentation apps to manage Android devices based on their unique requirements. Recently, Play Protect has started blocking the installation of custom DPC apps, even when these apps are signed and used internally. The warning claims the app may pose a risk due to access to sensitive data - even though it's strictly for enterprise use. To make things more difficult: Google is no longer accepting registration of custom DPC apps with Android Enterprise, which limits official distribution and management options. Android Management APIs don’t support all use cases, and also have quote limit. I’ve applied twice to join the Android Enterprise portal to build a SaaS-based device management platform, but both requests were rejected without a clear reason. My questions for the community: Is there any official way to get a custom DPC app approved or whitelisted by Play Protect? Are there any alternative ways to manage Android devices at scale (outside of AMAPI or legacy EMM)? How can new developers or startups gain access to Android Enterprise features when onboarding is currently restricted? Any help, direction, or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kulwinder
Only one managed account is allowed
Hi Team, Can we add multiple managed accounts in Work Profile ? I was trying to achieve the same but I am getting error saying "A managed account already exists. Only one managed account is allowed for this device. If you have questions, contact your organization’s admin". If it is not possible, do we have any official document for the same.

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.
