Re: eSIM setup during device enrolment
As already mentioned in this thread, this is something that the OEM needs to implement by the looks of things. If I take an example for Zebra devices where they have StageNow which is configuration that are scannable. I have not tried it myself with eSIM but they seem to have a partial solution for it https://supportcommunity.zebra.com/s/article/000021043?language=en_US I know you are looking for something in regards to Samsung but maybe this can help you in the discussion with them.Re: [Day 1] Community festival: Highlighting 3 great resources of information for the Android Enterprise community
For me personally the way I consume information depends on what type of information it is. Often more casual or not too deep technical information is good for podcasts or videos. When I need to really learn something technical I prefer written articles. What I really would like to see is more technical content for us nerds 😁 And discussion around upcoming features not just what they do but how they are built, configured and managed.[Day 1] Community festival: Highlighting 3 great resources of information for the Android Enterprise community
Hi Android Enterprise community ! As an IT professional with focus on securing and managing different types of devices for customers all over the world, its important to keep up with the changing landscape and be on top of whats going on in the different ecosystems that exist out there. In this post I want to highlight 3 things that I think has had the greatest impact for me and my customers and that I would recommend anyone working within this field to keep an eye on. Android Enterprise Community discussions highlights There have been a lot of great conversations in this community for the past year and I wanted to mention a few that stood out for me and the impact of the community. I'm a strong believer in that whats makes a great product is also the community around it. Being able to interact directly between users using the product, developers and Program Managers working on the product makes the product better. https://www.androidenterprise.community/t5/general-discussions/is-there-any-way-to-disable-google-play-protect-gpp-from-an-emm/td-p/2507 https://www.androidenterprise.community/t5/service-announcements/partial-fix-some-management-policies-are-made-permanent-on/ta-p/1494 https://www.androidenterprise.community/t5/admin-discussions/distributing-paid-apps/td-p/653 Android Enterprise Academy https://info.androidenterprise.training One of the best resources I've encountered in my path to learn and understand what Android Enterprise is from a conceptual perspective to more in-depth technical is without a doubt the free training and certificate program under Android Enterprise Academy. There are 3 levels of certification Associate Professional Expert I keep going back to the training from time to time when I need to refresh my memory and I can't say that about a lot of other trainings I've done through out my years. That to me shows how good the quality of the training is. For me who has in the past created a lot of training material and also taught technical classes its important to understand that people are different in how they learn and are able to process information and I find that the training offered here manage to address that with the confinement of online training. Developer documentation 3rd but not least, I want to highlight to the developer documentation. I'm an IT Professional but not a developer, however this has not stopped me from getting value from the developer documentation. https://developers.google.com/android/work/tools https://developers.google.com/zero-touch/guides/overview When it comes to Android Enterprise I have found myself many times going to the developer documentation to understand certain features and in what version of Android they were introduced or trying to understand what is needed to use the features in troubleshooting purposes. Maybe there's a need to create a service request or Incident to your EMM or directly to Google, adding information that could help that points to the documentation is often valuable information that could expedite the handling of the ticket. Are there any discussion that stands out for you ? Or do you have any tips or great resources you want to share ? I want to give a special thanks to Lizzie for all the great work she does here and all the other community members that takes part in the discussions here.

Have you read the post I linked to above ? https://timmyit.com/2022/09/26/first-look-at-link-your-zero-touch-account-to-intune-and-manage-zero-touch-enrollment-from-the-endpoint-manager-admin-center/ This will explain the situation and what you should do if you need to use DPC extra. Assuming you have the exact same scenario, its not a google issue. Its Microsoft Intune limitations for this specific feature. But you can use DPC extra with Intune if you just use the Zero touch portal with Intune.Re: Cannot install intune
Your organisation have essentially 3 option for Android management when it comes to enrolling devices in to Intune and manage them. Device Administrator is one of them but that's not recommended to use and Microsoft is ending support for that in August of this year. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/enrollment/android-enroll-device-administrator Second and most common option is Android Enterprise, this however requires your device to support that management option. From a quick google search this device models does not seem to support Android Enterprise. Your IT department need to guide you here on how you should proceed.Re: Intune not adding PROVISIONING EXTRAS - Zero-Touch
Hey, The "Link your zero-touch account to your EMM provider" from the Intune UI is not something I recommend anyone to use. A few years ago when it was first introduced In Intune I wrote an article on it here: https://timmyit.com/2022/09/26/first-look-at-link-your-zero-touch-account-to-intune-and-manage-zero-touch-enrollment-from-the-endpoint-manager-admin-center/ the conclusion was that unless you are only using 1 profile for "Corporate-owned, fully managed user device" its pretty much useless. And it has to much knowledge not changed since then and that's often a sign that its no longer getting the love and attention from Microsoft which you also somewhat experienced in your support request. There is no need or requirement to use the "Link your zero-touch account to your EMM provider" from the Intune when working with Android Enterprise and Zero touch and I'll happy to point you in the right direction for things if there are certain specific scenarios you wish to cover. /TimmyRe: Intune-Replace Google Account
Just to verify, are you looking under Devices -> Android -> Android Enrollment -> Managed Google Play ? or Tenant Administration -> Connectors and tokens -> Managed Google play ? My experience has been it should reflect pretty quickly but haven't tried this scenario lately. I can test it and see what happens.Re: Android 14 & One UI 6 Removed Intune from device
I did an upgrade with a Galaxy Tab S9 the other day to Android 14 and One UI 6 that was managed by Intune and did not experience any issues at all. At this point I have not heard any specific problems around upgrading and Intune from any customer or Microsoft but I'll reach out if I do.
