Deploy Android Enterprise Recommended knowledge worker and dedicated devices.
Deploying Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) devices for knowledge workers and dedicated devices involves several steps. Android Enterprise is a set of tools and services provided by Google to help businesses manage and secure Android devices. Android Enterprise Recommended is a program that lists devices that meet certain criteria for enterprise use.
-
Choose Deployment Model:
Decide whether you want to deploy devices as Knowledge Worker devices or Dedicated Devices. Knowledge worker devices are typically used by employees for general work, while dedicated devices may be used for specific purposes, such as kiosks or point-of-sale systems.
-
Enroll Devices:
Knowledge Worker Devices: Employees can enroll their devices using the Android work profile. This creates a separate, secure container on the device for work-related apps and data. Dedicated Devices: Use the Android Device Owner (DO) mode to enroll devices. This is typically done during the device's initial setup or through a QR code.
-
Mobile Device Management (MDM) Solution:
Choose and set up an MDM solution that supports Android Enterprise. Popular solutions include VMware Workspace ONE, Microsoft Intune, or MobileIron.
-
Configure Policies:
Set up policies for security, app management, and other configurations using your MDM solution.
For Knowledge Worker Devices: Configure the work profile policies, such as passcode requirements, app permissions, and network configurations.
For Dedicated Devices: Configure kiosk mode or other restrictions based on the device's purpose.
