Creating an Android Classic Enrollment Policy

Create an Android Classic enrollment policy.

About this task

Android Classic enrollment supports a wide variety of Android devices built by different manufacturers. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) may prioritize different features or implementations, which leads to a broad range of functionality across devices. Rather than limiting management to a one-size-fits-all model, Android Classic enrollment provides customized feature sets based on each OEMs capabilities.
Important: As of SOTI MobiControl v14.4, all fresh installations of SOTI MobiControl default to Android Enterprise as the Android Plus management style. To continue with this procedure, you must confirm that OEM Specific for All Android Devices or OEM Specific for Android 6.0 and Below is selected instead. See Choosing an Android Deployment Type for more information.
Use the following procedure to create an Android Classic enrollment policy:

  1. From the SOTI MobiControl main menu, select Policies > Enrollment.
  2. Choose All Policies, then select Add Enrollment Policy.
