Enroll in an MDM

StageNow 5.13

Overview

Use this Wizard to enroll a device for management by a Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) system. This process downloads, installs, configures and launches an MDM agent.

About Wizard Behavior

Settings created automatically by a Profile Wizard are sometimes not removed completely from the Profile when one or more of those settings are deleted manually. This occurs in Wizard-based Profiles that are further modified with settings created using Xpert mode. While parts of the deleted settings might still be visible, they are inaccessible by the administrator. However, the Profile does not execute them and otherwise functions normally.
