    Abstract: Various examples for performing automated enrollments of client devices with a management service after being accessed by a staging user account are described. A client device can be configured to identify a user account active on the client device and determine whether the user account is a staging user account or an end user account associated with an intended recipient of the client device. In an instance in which the user account is the staging user account, the client device can create an event listener on the client device that monitors a subsequent login of a user account performed through an operating system of the client device, the subsequent login of the user account being the end user account. In an instance in which the subsequent login of the user account is detected by the event listener, the client device can perform an automated enrollment with a remote management service.

    Abstract: Various examples for providing a dynamic runtime interface for device management are described. In one example, a computing environment can access metadata that describes a configuration of a user interface made in a profile template designer application. The computing environment can identify a request for a profile creator that provides at least one setting for a desired configuration of a client device enrolled with a management service, and, in response to the request being identified, dynamically generate the user interface using the metadata, where the user interface includes a configured to receive the at least one setting for the desired configuration of the client device. The computing environment can generate a configuration profile accessible by the client device that causes an agent application executable on the client device to configure the client device in accordance with the configuration profile.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing a user device in multiple management modes. In an example, an agent executing on the user device can enroll the user device with a Unified Endpoint Management (“UEM”) system in a limited management mode. The agent can receive and install a first configuration profile from a server that configures the agent to operate on an unmanaged channel of the user device. In one example, the user device can have a third-party management client that manages the user device on a managed channel. The third-party management client can be removed. The agent can enroll the user device with the UEM in a full management mode. The agent can receive and install a second configuration profile that configures the agent to operate on the managed channel of the user device.

    Abstract: Operating system update management for enrolled devices is disclosed according to various examples. In one example, a computing environment can publish, to an agent application on a client device, a deployment profile with a setting that specifies a restriction associated with download or installation of software updates by a subset of client devices that includes the client device. The computing environment can receive, from the agent application, an identification of a software update available for the client device. The computing environment can receive a specification of the subset of client devices to apply the software update. In response to a predefined interaction being performed, for example, by an administrator, the computing environment can direct at least one client device in the subset to install the software update.

    Abstract: Examples described here include systems and methods for refreshing the operating system (“OS”) of a device enrolled in a management platform. Execution of a first command file ensures that necessary components of the management platform residing on the device are stored in a partitioned portion of the device hard drive to preserve them during the OS refresh. After a new instance of the OS has been installed, execution of a second command file migrates the necessary components from the partitioned portion of the hard drive to the new OS instance. When the user logs back into the refreshed device, a third command file installs all necessary device management components at the new OS instance and re-enrolls the device with the management platform. In this manner, the OS of a managed device can be refreshed and re-enrolled in the management platform without significant input from a user or administrator.
