Reverting to Deployment Server File Distribution

Disable or unenroll SOTI XTreme Hubs to return to using the deployment server as the primary source for distributing files and packages.

About this task

Use this procedure to stop routing files through SOTI XTreme Hubs. Depending on your operational needs, you can temporarily disable the SOTI XTreme Hub functionality or permanently unenroll the device from SOTI MobiControl.

Procedure

  1. In the Devices view, open the Device Information panel for the SOTI XTreme Hub you want to modify.
  2. In the Device Actions list, select (More), then choose one of the following options:
    • Disable: Temporarily stop the device from acting as a SOTI XTreme Hub. The device continues to check in and download files from the deployment server but no longer distributes files to other devices.
      Note: Use this option to pause SOTI XTreme Hub functionality without removing the device from management.
    • Unenroll: Permanently remove the device from SOTI MobiControl and stop all SOTI XTreme Hub file transfer functionality.
      Note: Use this option when you no longer intend to use the device as a SOTI XTreme Hub.
  3. If a warning message appears at the bottom of the dialog box, expand it to review any issues preventing the action.
  4. Select Disable or Unenroll to confirm the change.
  5. Required: You must repeat these steps for all SOTI XTreme Hub devices within the same branch of the device tree. If you disable or unenroll only some hubs, devices in the same branch may continue to rely on the remaining SOTI XTreme Hubs for file distribution

Results

During their next check-in, affected devices retrieve files and packages directly from the deployment server.
