Zero Touch Wizard

StageNow 5.13

Use this Wizard to configure the network settings of a "factory fresh" or factory-reset device to enable connection to the internet through Ethernet, Wi-Fi or a non-public cellular APN. This enables the device to access internet-based Google Zero Touch servers, which perform Device Owner Enrollment in an Enterprise Mobile Management (EMM) system, rendering the device manageable with minimal user interaction. Settings entered in this Wizard can be persisted on the device following an Enterprise Reset, further automating subsequent enrollments.

Requirements

  • StageNow 4.2 or later
  • Zebra device(s) running Android 8.x Oreo (or later) with MX 10 (or later)
  • EMM with Zero Touch support and credentials

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.
