Enrolling standard Android devices in bulk

About this task

Follow the steps required to enroll standard Android devices. You can use either a configuration file or a QR code to download enrollment configurations to the devices.

Procedure

  1. Copy the configuration file and the MaaS360 agent to the device storage.
    Notes:
    • Make sure that you add both the files to the same location on the devices. For example, copy the files to the root or Downloads folder.
    • If you do not want to copy the configuration file, you always can scan the QR code to copy configuration parameters to the device.
  2. Install the IBM® MaaS360® app from the storage location.
    Important: Installing apps from unknown sources must be allowed on the device.
  3. Launch the IBM MaaS360 app.
  4. On the Add Device screen, select one of the following options to enroll the device to IBM MaaS360.
    • Scan QR Code
      Scan the QR code provided by your administrator to enroll the device.
    • Use Config File
      Use the configuration file that you downloaded to your device storage to enroll the device.
    • Use Corporate ID & Email
      Use this option to skip bulk enrollment and continue with regular enrollment instead.
