Hello folks,
As Exchange Administrators a hot topic that several companies haven’t started the discussion yet is the BYOD (Brind Your Own Device) and there are several ways to manage devices using ActiveSync policies.
Windows Intune can help us out adding more solutions for Android end-points.
As of today you can find the Android Company Portal for Windows Intune in the Google Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.windowsintune.companyportal
Use the Company Portal to enroll a device to Windows Intune, afterwards the administrator will be able to:
- Erase all data, including a factory reset
- Change the screen-unlock password
- Set password rules
- Monitor screen-unlock attempts
- Lock the screen
- Set lock-screen password expiry
- Set storage encryption
- Disable cameras
- Push deep-links Google Play Store App’s to the company portal
- Push applications installations
- Publish Web Applications (see screenshot below)
- .. more to be added later
End-users can:
- Browse the Company Portal and install apps
- Remove any Intune enrolled device (explanation)
- Contact IT
