Android Enterprise V: ZeroTouch Enrollment
Zero-touch Enrollment
Zero-touch Enrollment is an automated deployment method for Android Enterprise devices that simplifies the setup process by applying configurations as soon as the device is first turned on. This eliminates the need for manual setup, ensuring that devices are ready to use with the required policies, apps, and security settings in place. With Zero-touch Enrollment, your organization can save time, reduce errors, and enhance security by enforcing management policies from the start. Whether deploying a few devices or an entire fleet, this method provides a seamless and consistent setup experience for both IT teams and end users. When first booted, the devices check to see if they have been assigned a configuration, and if so, they download the (pre-configured) Matrix42 Companion app, which guides the user through the setup process.
- IT Administrators: Can configure that new arrived devices will be automatically configured to download Matrix42 Companion
- Your company stay in control of their devices at all times - even after factory resets.
- End users, after receiving a boxed device, they just need to sign in.

Additional Enrollment Options
Zero-touch Enrollment provides the ability to configure Device Policy Controllers in a specific JSON format. The Matrix42 Companion application supports this mechanism for remotely configuring (enrollment) user settings, ensuring smooth enrollment on the devices used. These options allow you to add the address of your Silverback Self Service Portal to the configuration, so that users are redirected directly to the Self Service Portal within the Companion to perform enrollment with local user accounts, LDAP accounts or Identity Providers such as Microsoft Entra ID. In addition, you can use this mechanism to provide fully authenticated device enrollment for non-personalized devices in combination with Bulk Staging Mode.
Adjust and add the following options into the DPC extras field:
| Platform | Custom Configuration |
|---|---|
| Android Zero-touch Enrollment | Enrollment with Self Service Portal |
{"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE":{"server_url":"https://silverback.imagoverum.com"}}
