Not able to print from Google Docs
Hi all, we provided Google docs, sheets and slides to our devices. We set managed app config (allow of using printing api and usage without Google account). We noticed now that printing is possible on sheets and slides but not on docs. Is there any known issue rgarding this? I mean I'm a bit confused because it works from the other two. Maybe Lizzie and ReeceK you kno more about that or can ask internally?
Understanding Automatic Operating system update behaviour
I'm hoping to get a better understanding of the SystemUpdateType policy available for COWP devices, we're currently moving from POWP to COWP for our devices (40K) and are looking to benefit from streamlining as much as possible for our end-users. Looking at the documentation for the SystemUpdateType policy it isn't described as to whether the Automatic update option would force an Operating System update even if the device is in active use (User on a call, App open and in use etc). Does anyone have detailed information as to how the Automatic update option works? I'm hoping to get a reply from a google employee on this if possible. Below is the link to the documentation for anyone interested. https://developers.google.com/android/management/reference/rest/v1/enterprises.policies#systemupdate:~:text=accept%20system%20updates.-,AUTOMATIC,Install%20automatically%20as%20soon%20as%20an%20update%20is%20available.,-WINDOWED Thanks for your help.
Intune - Google Managed Play issue cannot complete the bind
Hi Everyone, sitting with an issue on three O365 tenants at the at the moment that I have escalated to Microsoft. Was hoping that someone else experienced this issue as well or can point me in the right direction. After opening the connector to bind the EMM (Intune) to the google play store the I grant Microsoft permissions to send both user and device information to Google is greyed out. I can close and the window and then reopen it and I can then tick the box. After that the Launch Google to connect now Button becomes available and the windows that pops up asks me to sign in with my google account. I have created numerous accounts, personal, work and school and tested with them. After the login into the google account it does not continue with the EMM setup. the box displays "The Page has expired. To restart your registration, please reload the page from your EMM console. Only way past that is to log out of the Gmail Account and then log in again with the same issue "The page has expired......" I have tried the connection from different devices, browsers, incognito... on different networks and have even tried it from a device with a vanilla install, Windows 10/11 and nothing helps. I have created different accounts on Google, personal, work and school etc, and the same issue. After logging in I can click on the google play icon in the left upper side and it shows the apps in the play store. I have attached screen shots.
blokking apps on private section using COPE profile with Intune
We have a use case where we use Android devices that are corporate-owned but also personally-enabled. Within our ogranisation, we want the capability to trace and block apps. However, this is currently not possible because the apps are installed in the private section. Is there a way to achieve this in the private section? We are using Microsoft Intune as our MDM (Mobile Device Management) environment.
Force settings on Dedicated devices during enrollment
Hello all, I'm trying to deploy a Dedicated device profile in Microsoft Intune, I created the configuration profiles and the compliance policy with some settings, in specific about PIN creation and complexity, but during the setup users are not asked to enter any PIN, and at the end the device result non-compliant until the PIN is set and is fulfilling the rules I set. Is there by any chance a way to force the PIN creation request during the enrollment phase as happens for user-associated devices? Thanks in advance /Lucius

[Product Update] Lock and locate Corporate devices with Lost Mode
Lock lost corporate devices and get real-time location updates to recover them. Android Enterprise admins, have you discovered Lost Mode? It’s a new management feature designed to safeguard your organisation's data and recover misplaced devices. No more frantic "phone-finding" missions or compromised sensitive information - Lost Mode empowers you to take control in challenging situations. Lost Mode empowers device management through: Remote lock down: Instantly lock lost or stolen devices. Gone are the days of helplessly hoping lost devices remain untouched; Lost Mode helps prevent unauthorised access beyond incoming and emergency calls, securing your data, and peace of mind. If the need arises, enrolled devices can also be remotely wiped. Real-time location tracking: Track the location of a lost device in real-time. Whether nestled under a colleague's desk or left in a taxi, Lost Mode can remotely pinpoint a device's whereabouts for hassle-free recovery. Lock screen message: Communicate company contact information directly on the lock screen. If found by a passerby, the pre-set company message will tell them where to return it. Or they’ll have the option to ‘Call owner’ on your chosen contact number with a press of a button, making good deeds a breeze. Audible locator: Turn your device into a beacon. When Lost Mode is activated, the device begins to ring on full volume, guiding you, or a helpful passerby, towards its hidden location. It’s a step up from breadcrumbs or wasting time aimlessly retracing your steps - follow the audible trail and reclaim your missing tech. How does it work? IT admins can easily put a device into Lost Mode from their EMM console. Once the missing device is found, and is back in the right hands, employees can simply exit lost mode with their device passcode and resume business as usual. Or, IT Admins can exit Lost Mode from their EMM console. Beyond immediate recovery, having this security measure in place enables quick action, minimising the risk of data breaches, improving employee peace of mind and eliminating wasted time searching for misplaced devices. Next steps Lost Mode is exclusive to EMMs that use Android Management API, and is currently available for both Work Profile on company-owned devices running Android 13 or later, and fully managed devices on Android 11 or later. To check if this feature has been made available in their console, please contact your EMM. For a step by step on how to enable Lost Mode on company-owned devices, check out this article in the Help Center. Otherwise it would be great to hear from you, have you or do you plan to implement Lost Mode into your device strategy? Which feature do you think will be most useful?
