Android Zero-Touch not working on new Samsung devices

Hello,
I have new model devices Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ and Galaxy Tabe S9 FE+ and the Zero-Touche Enrollment (ZTE) is not working. Nothing happens and ZTE doesn't appear. It works with the Galaxy Tab A8 model.
Is it the issue related to Android client portal ?
Can you help me ?
Regards

    Switching methods won't help anything really, it's not an MDM issue until after the "managed by your organisation" message in the wizard. 

     

    It sounds like the devices haven't been registered properly by the reseller, since most other things are ruled out. 

     

    Ask the reseller to de-register and re-register, ensuring the used identifiers are correct. If there's dual SIM support with the devices the reseller may have additional steps to take.

    Hi there

     

    Are these devices registered for zero-touch? That'll be the first thing to confirm.

      In addition to this, check if a configuration is applied to those devices (if they are listed in the ZTP), maybe switch them to "no configuration" and then back to the needed configuration again and check (this sometimes helps).

        And check if they are not added to Knox Mobile enrollment instead. If a Samsung device is enrolled and has a profile assigned in Android zero touch and in Knox Mobile enrollment, it will only listen to the profile in Knox mobile enrollment.

      Of course the devices are added on Zero Touch Portal.

        Right, then confirm they have a config applied, and validate the IMEIs are correct against devices that don't function.

    Yes, the config is applied.
    I switched off the configuration and put back to the needed configuration again. No changes.
    At the step "Preparing your tablet", the device management doesn't appear and the device is configured as an end user.
    ZTE works on the model Samsung Galaxy Tab A8.
    So is it a problem with Zero Touch Portal or with our MDM ?
    Have you already successfully registered with ZTE the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ or Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ model ?

      I've had no issues with the S9 tablets, no experience with the FE series yet. 

       

      To rule out your MDM, you could do an enrollment via the QR method assuming your MDM solution has a QR code for enrollment.
