Unlinking Zero-Touch from MDM provider
Hello.
Some months ago we were trialing Android Zero Touch with two different MDM providers: Intune and Workspace One.
We have now chosen Intune, but our ZT portal is still linked to WSO. By default devices will get the Enterprise Default Profile, and that means WSO.
When I go to try and link Intune with the ZT portal, after choosing my Google account it says "Already linked" and "You can make changes at any time in Linked accounts". However, there doesn't seem to be an option to unlink from WSO from within the ZT portal, and I cannot find any "Linked accounts" button.
I also don't have access to WSO anymore, as ours was a trial account and the trial has expired. So I can't log in to that and unlink it.
How do we unlink our ZT portal from WSO? Can anybody from Google do it on the back-end?
Thank you

I tried to follow the instructions from the above article but they didn't work. We use separate Google accounts for Google Play and Zero-Touch.
In the zero-touch portal just do following:
To change the default configuration:
- Go to configurations
- press the pen in the top middle of the screen
- choose the default configuration you want to use
To change which configuration the specific devices should use:
- Go to devices
- export them as csv file (3 dots in right top)
- change the profile to be used on the devices in the downloaded file via an Editor (pls don't use Excel) from the WSO to the Intune one (the ID can be found in the configurations tab!)
- upload the csv again
Be carefull here as this is a critical step, i recommend to do this with one device first and if with success, you can do it in larger steps.
Not sure if i need to mention but be aware that all devices enrolled to WSO, needs to be wiped and re-enrolled then in order to connect to Intune (at least all COPE and fully managed ones).
Hi jasonbayton and thank you for your reply.
I will try and see if I can reach out to Omnissa on this, but I doubt it as we ended the trial and we didn't go for their product. We don't have a support relationship in place.
What's does "FR for Lizzie to support" mean? 🙂
Hi Moombas and thank you for your kind reply.
This does work for devices that are already in there. But newly added devices get added with the "Enterprise Default Profile", and that'll be WSO. As it says in various places in this doc, "If the zero-touch account is linked with EMM, the "Enterprise default profile" will override the default configuration."
Thus, I need to be able to change the "Enterprise Default Profile" and that is what I am struggling with.
bam Ok, my guess was/is that the enteprise default profile is the default profile you choose in the configurations tab.
jasonbayton Is there a difference (as you have more knowledge on that)?
If yes, that doesn't make sense.
