Systems herein allow an administrator to efficiently enroll computing devices into a mobile device management system, even when those computing devices are offline and not connected to the system. A management server can include a console that allows the administrator to enroll an offline computing device by selecting an offline enrollment option on a registration record. This option can cause the management server to create a device record, indicating the computing device is enrolled. The management server can also create and save a provisioning file onto a storage device, such as a USB drive. Assets, such as graphics and applications, specified by the device record are also saved onto the storage device. The storage device can be physically connected to the computing device, at which point the provisioning file guides automatic installation of the assets and implementation of device settings and compliance rules specified by the device record.

Offline sideloading for enrollment of devices in a mobile device management system

Examples described herein include systems and methods for dynamically determining enrollment requirements and enrolling a user device into a management system. The systems and methods can differ based on the type and version of operating system executing on the user device. With some operating systems, enrollment can be completed through a single application that performs other functionality, such providing single-sign-on access to enterprise resources. With other operating systems, enrollment can be completed by pausing the first application and requiring installation of an agent application to complete enrollment. The determination of how and when to enroll a user device can be done automatically and can be based on an organizational group to which the user belongs.

Adaptive device enrollment

Disclosed are various embodiments for automating the provision of applications to managed client devices. A search string is passed through an iFrame embedded in a web page to a remote computing device that provides an application programming interface (API) for an application store. A search result is then received through the iFrame from the remote computing device and displayed in the iFrame. The iFrame then provides a notification of an approval for publication of an application identified by the search result and details of the application. The details of the application are then sent to the remote computing device to cause the application store to distribute the application to a client device.
