  • The upcoming release of Intelligent Hub 23.09 for macOS will be the final version of the Intelligent Hub to support macOS 10.15 Catalina.

    Devices that are currently on macOS 10.15 Catalina will be able to continue using Intelligent Hub 23.09 or earlier.
    NOTE: There will not be any patches/updates to earlier versions of Intelligent Hub, and these should be used only as a stop-gap until devices can be upgraded to macOS 11 Big Sur or greater.

 

 

Autopilot Hybrid Join Best Practices (94477)

  • If you plan to deploy Windows devices with Autopilot Hybrid Join, you should follow the following guidelines. Every other configuration can cause deployment issues, timeouts, or errors.
    • Don’t deploy other resources than Domain Join configuration and VPN application / profile in the customer OG. 
      Devices enrolled via Autopilot, always getting enrolled into the customer OG. If there are other resources assigned to the device, the Autopilot Hybrid Join process might time out.
    • Pre-stage VPN application. 
      If your deployment requires a VPN connection because the end-user is outside the company network, you should consider Drop-Ship Provisioning (Online or Offline) to pre-stage the VPN application. 
      Due to the Microsoft limitations in the Autopilot process, VMware Workspace ONE does not have any ability to wait for the VPN application installation. As soon as the Offline Domain Join blob was applied to the device, the device will reboot. 
      This might cause devices to be AD joined but don’t have the VPN application installed and might need additional time and reboots to apply those changes.
    • Ensure the enrollment User is in the customer OG
      If the enrollment user is not part of the customer OG, an additional User object might get created, or the deployment fails.
    • Turn off Status Tracking Page
      Autopilot Hybrid Join with VMware Workspace ONE, does not support showing the status tracking page. 
    • Disable all optional pages and Token enrollment
      Due to a Microsoft bug, Autopilot Hybrid Join cannot show any additional pages, like MDM Welcome Screen or Token request page.
    • Use VMware Workspace ONE Intelligence to move the device to target OG
      Due to the current design, devices getting enrolled in the customer OG. To move the devices automatically to the target OG, consider VMware Workspace ONE Intelligence automations.
    • Delete AD computer objects before re-enrollment
      If you are using a unique device serial number as a computer name in the Offline Domain Join configuration, you need to delete the AD computer object before re-enrolling the device. 
      The current design does not support overwriting the existing AD computer object.

Beta, Lab and Tech Preview Updates 

Android Management API Feature - Beta Launch

  • Android Management API (AMAPI) is a new way of managing Android Enterprise devices. The way Workspace ONE supports Android Enterprise today is called Custom DPC. In it, Intelligent Hub acts as a Device Policy Controller (DPC) on the device or Work Profile.
  • In Android Management API, a native Android application called Android Device Policy serves as the Device Policy Controller (DPC) for the device or Work Profile. Workspace ONE UEM pushes device policies to Android Management API, which in turn transmits these policies to Android Device Policy to be applied to the device. For more information, please see the AMAPI Beta Tester Guide in the Early Access Community.
  • This Beta is a first step in Workspace ONE UEM fully supporting Android Management API. The first management mode which will be supported with AMAPI is Work Profile.
