SCCM 2012 R2 and Android Device

With SCCM 2012 there is the ability to use Windows Intune Company Portal in the Google Play store that allows us to enroll Android devices into Configuration Manager 2012 R2.

As we all know the Windows Intune connector broaden our reach of more and more devices to manage. Since the management is really depended of the operating system of the (mobile) device the management options can be different per operating system.

Configuration Manager 2012 R2 together with Windows Intune is able to manage Android devices and offers the following features.

• Manage Settings like:
  • WiFi profiles
  • Certificates
  • Password settings
  • Device restrictions
  • Encryption settings
  • Security Settings
  • Roaming Settings
  • Remote Full Wipe
  • Remote Selective Wipe
    • WiFi profiles are removed
    • Deployed certificates are revoked on the server
    • Settings policies are removed
    • The device administrator privilege of the management agent is revoked.

Enable Android management.
After you acquired a Windows Intune Subscription and enabled the Windows Intune Connector, the first step in managing Android devices is to enable this feature in the Windows Intune Connector. Just enable the “Enable Android Enrollment” checkbox and you are done.
