Deploy Android Enterprise Recommended knowledge worker and dedicated
devices.
Deploying Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) devices for knowledge workers and
dedicated devices involves several steps. Android Enterprise is a set of tools and
services provided by Google to help businesses manage and secure Android devices.
Android Enterprise Recommended is a program that lists devices that meet certain
criteria for enterprise use.
-
Choose Deployment Model:
Decide whether you want to deploy devices as Knowledge Worker devices or
Dedicated Devices. Knowledge worker devices are typically used by employees for
general work, while dedicated devices may be used for specific purposes, such as
kiosks or point-of-sale systems.
-
Enroll Devices:
Knowledge Worker Devices: Employees can enroll their devices using the Android
work profile. This creates a separate, secure container on the device for
work-related apps and data. Dedicated Devices: Use the Android Device Owner (DO)
mode to enroll devices. This is typically done during the device's initial setup
or through a QR code.
-
Mobile Device Management (MDM) Solution:
Choose and set up an MDM solution that supports Android Enterprise. Popular
solutions include VMware Workspace ONE, Microsoft Intune, or MobileIron.
-
Configure Policies:
Set up policies for security, app management, and other configurations using
your MDM solution.
For Knowledge Worker Devices: Configure the work profile policies, such as
passcode requirements, app permissions, and network configurations.
For Dedicated Devices: Configure kiosk mode or other restrictions based on the
device's purpose.
