Enrolling Zebra Devices with StageNow

With the release of version 4.3.1, StageNow supports enrollment with WizyEMM. There are no changes to adopt when enrolling a device compared to other MDMs.

Prerequisites:

• You need to use StageNow version 4.3.1 minimum

You can enroll a Zebra device into WizyEMM with StageNow two different ways:

• With the "Configure Zero Touch Network" wizard, if your Zebra device is Android zero-touch compatible. Read more on this Zebra guide for StageNow with Zero Touch.
• With the "XpertConfig" wizard. With this wizard, you can enroll a device in the Device Owner mode by directly pushing the apk of our agent to your Zebra devices. The four main steps to enrolling a device into an MDM with StageNow are:
  • Network Manager (Connect to Wi-Fi)
  • File Manager (Deploy agent APK)
  • App Manager (Install agent APK)
  • Intent Manager (Make installed APK a Device Owner)

Using the XpertConfig wizard, you need to add and configure 2 steps to your StageNow profile.

XpertConfig step 1: MDM Enrollment

You can refer to this Zebra guide for MDM enrollment with StageNow for the full guide. 

Notes:

• There is no Support App, or Config file to download in the process. You can skip these steps.
• At the step Download MDM, you should configure the following:
  • Target Path and File Name on device: /sdcard/AndroidDevicePolicy.apk
  • Source File Location: Click on the 3 dots to open widget 
    • Staging server: External
    • Source Path and File Name: https://play.google.com/managed/downloadManagingApp?identifier=setup

XpertConfig step 2: Intent

This allows you to pass a JSON file to our MDM agent and makes the agent a Device Owner (DO). To do this, you must set the following:

• Action: "Enroll a device owner"
• Package name: com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc
• Class name: com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc/.receivers.CloudDeviceAdminReceiver
• Json Values: Choose Json File
• To create the Json File, copy the below lines into a text file. Replace "Enter enrollment token here" with the enrollment token that gets generated when you create a profile in WizyEMM. Be sure that the enrollment token is within the quotes 

{
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_NAME":
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc",
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME":
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc/.receivers.CloudDeviceAdminReceiver",
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_SIGNATURE_CHECKSUM":
"I5YvS0O5hXY46mb01BlRjq4oJJGs2kuUcHvVkAPEXlg",
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION":
"https://play.google.com/managed/downloadManagingApp?identifier=setup",
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_LEAVE_ALL_SYSTEM_APPS_ENABLED":true,
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": {
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.EXTRA_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN":"Enter enrollment token here"
}
}

Once these steps are configured, you can review and publish your StageNow profile.
