Android Zero-touch enrollment with Miradore

Introduction

Android Zero-touch enrollment is a seamless setup and deployment method for company-owned Android devices. It can be used to enroll devices automatically to Miradore. During device setup, Miradore's management client will be downloaded to the device, and it will connect to the correct Miradore site.

Start by purchasing Zero-touch enrollment devices. Your reseller sets up your Zero-touch enrollment account when your organization first purchases devices registered for Zero-touch enrollment - like shown in the Zero-touch enrollment overview.

Prepare Zero-touch enrollment

Open Enrollment > Android Enterprise.

1. Select the management type for devices to be enrolled via Android Zero-touch (either Fully managed of Fully managed with work profile).

2. Download Android Zero-touch enrollment configuration file under Actions dropdown menu

The downloaded file can be found with name online_zerotouch.json. The file contents are needed in next steps of setup.

Note! The selected management type is written inside the configuration file. In case you want to set up both management types available via Android Zero-touch enrollment, you can repeat the above steps but select the other management type and download the file again.

Open Android Zero-touch partner portal, navigate to Configurations and click Add configuration.

Fill-in the fields for new Zero-touch configuration. Note the two fields marked to image:

EMM DPC = select Miradore client

DPC extras = open your previously downloaded configuration file (online_zerotouch.json) to a text editor and copy-paste the text content to this field

Save the configuration by clicking Add. If you need additional configuration for the other Android management type, create another one using the contents of the corresponding Zero-touch configuration file.

Once the needed Zero-touch configurations are in place, you can assign a configuration to each of your devices by finding the device from Devices page by device IMEI or serial number and clicking Edit.

You can also define a default configuration to be applied to new devices added to your account by a reseller.

The Zero-touch enrollment for device will take place next time the device enters the initial Android setup (powering up a new or factory reset device). If needed, you can disable the Zero-touch enrollment for a device by changing the assigned configuration as None.
