Android enterprise enrollment by QR code in this video we will see how this new
feature works first we need to set up the Android management mode either we
select Android Enterprise or Android enterprise and device administrator this
setting details how much control surface Mobile will have over the target devices
for this video we choose both to also be able to manage bring your own devices
later next we need to bind an android enterprise account to surface mobile we
click on configure we don't have a managed Google domain so we need to
select managed Google Play account scenario this is the easiest method to
set up Android Enterprise foreign organization Sophos mobile guides us
through the setup procedure once we click Next when we click register
account we get redirected to the Google Website revenue register our
organization with Android enterprise now we are on the android enterprise page
and we need to log on with Google account credentials
since we have not yet set up enterprise for this account we must first define a
business name in this case that is surface mobile training now we will at
least enter the data of the data protection officer and then we can
complete this registration once we are back at surface mobile we entered the
Google account name that we just registered with Android enterprise for
our reference and then we click on finalise setup now Android Enterprise is
setup for this customer aka tenant on this office mobile server here we can
see its details at the top right a new tab has been added QR code enrollment
let's have a look into it the most important information here is
that we need to create a task bundle that assigns an android enterprise
device policy first before we can configure Android Enterprise QR code
enrollment nothing easier than that we go to configure policies Android and we
create a new Android enterprise device policy restrictions are pre-configured
already and for now it's just enough that we configure some additional
password settings if you aren't familiar with how to create a surface mobile
policy please review the full surface mobile training course next we go to
configure tasks bundles Android and create a task bundle for android
enterprise enrollment in this task bundle we add the task to assign an
android enterprise full device management policy with the previously
created android enterprise device policy in it save it then we go back to
settings set up Android setup now there is a new button in this screen
configure Android Enterprise QR code enrollment now we predefined the
settings for the device enrollment in this example we are setting device
language English Wi-Fi settings and next we add the task bundle to be executed on
the device for the enrollment and the device group it needs to be added to we
click on finish and here is the QR code that contains all that information
please note that this code is valid for all future android enterprise device
enrollments until an administrator revokes it the code can be scanned here
from the screen or printed out at the bottom we can reconfigure the QR code or
revoke the code if necessary one last step remains to be done
in order for the QR code enrollment to work on the devices you have to check if
there are users either in the internal directory or in an external directory
during the enrollment process users must log onto the surface mobile server once
all right a user who will enroll their device by QR code is already available
in the next video you can see how an android device is enrolled as an android
enterprise device by this QR code
