  • 1.  Enrollment Issues with QR code enrollment

    Posted Tue January 17, 2023 08:05 AM

    Good morning.  I have a case that has been open for 21 days with no sign of a solution so I thought maybe I would try here.
    Enrollment: QR code - linked to google workplace account.
    Security Policy: KIOSK mode but nothing really restricted on an app by app level, just not allowed to close out of kiosk mode.
    No recent changes made by me to the setup

    I have about 25 Galaxy Tab 7Lite, that have been enrolled in MaaS360 for a year+ working just fine.  A device was not able to open email attachments, even when exited from Kiosk mode (usually there is a prompt that you have to answer 1 time - annoying).

    Typically when something minor like this happens, I factory re-set the device and re-enroll, set everything up, verify opening attachments work, then move on.  This time, the enrollment would appear to move through however the screen on the device would stop on "Checking device's compatibility for Android Enterprise".

    Initially (with support) we went through my config (which was fine) did more factory re-sets, tried other devices (same models) and same results.  One tech told me the issue was my devices were not Android Enterprise devices.  

    So I purchased Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 (which is on the enterprise list) and lo and behold......same issue.

    On the MaaS360 portal it labels the enrollment as complete, on the device it hangs at the message above, and goes no further.  Additionally the portal never gets updated model and sn info from the devices either.

    Not sure where to go and I don't think another session with level 1 support is going to help at this point.  I need to get this working I have new employees that have to get set up.

    Hi Grant
    There was a known issue for Android enrollment with QR codes for the last few weeks. This was given high priority and has been resolved with a new release of the Android MaaS360 app (8.13) and an update to the platform. 
    Please test again to confirm and let me know. 
    Thanks

    Thanks Eamonn.

    I am one of the rare customers that is still having an issue beyond the enrollment issue you referenced here.  I did get a call and a webex with some folks regarding the issue.  I am told they are working on it and the only work around at the moment is enroll in PO mode, which I do not want to do.  So I will wait till my particular issue is resolved.

    Thanks for replying.

    Hi Grant
    I had a further look at this and can see that the issue is not enrollment at this stage but rather activation of the MaaS360 app and upload of device inventory data to the platform. The Development ticket is opened and the Support team have asked to have a call with you, I will let them follow up but have made some comments in the Dev ticket (that is one you won't see, you will only see the Support ticket). I'll leave you in their capable hands. 
    Best

    You are correct.  I am waiting for the Dev team to reach out.  I think there was another company (larger then I am) that they were working through the issue first, and then were going to reach out to me.

    Thanks again.
