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 examples for the dynamic construction of configuration profiles using settings common across different operating systems. A computing environment having a management service can determine variable names for inclusion in configuration profiles based on operating systems. The computing environment can dynamically generate configuration profiles using the appropriate variable names such that the value provided by an administrator is a value or parameter of the variable name for deployment to a client device having an operating system capable of interpreting the value using the variable name.

Dynamic construction of configuration profiles for settings common across different operating systems

Systems herein allow a customer to provision an enterprise mobility management system ('EMM') in a cloud service. A provisioning server can provide a portal for the customer to input an indication of a number of computing devices that the EMM system will service. The customer can also specify an EMM application version. Based on this information, the provisioning server can determine how many servers to instantiate in the cloud service and install the appropriate EMM application. The provisioning server can also monitor the number of devices and automatically instantiate additional servers as needed.

Disclosed are various examples for remote email configuration using dynamically generated configuration profiles. A computing environment having a management service can determine variable names for inclusion in configuration profiles that are capable of configuring email settings on various managed device operating systems. The computing environment can dynamically generate configuration profiles using the appropriate variable names such that a client device having a particular operating system installed thereon is capable of interpreting the value and the variable name to configure the email setting.

Remote email configuration using dynamically generated configuration profiles

Disclosed are various examples for dynamically generating configuration profiles based on an operating system of a device. A computing environment can determine that a configuration profile configured for a type of the client device has not been created. If so, the computing environment can identify an operating system of the client device, determine a format for the configuration profile based on the operating system, and generating a configuration profile in accordance with the format and the operating system. The configuration profile can include a value for a setting previously defined that is common to a plurality of different operating systems.

Dynamically generated configuration profiles based on device operating system

Disclosed are various examples for remote virtual private network (VPN) configuration using dynamically generated configuration profiles. A computing environment having a management service can determine variable names for inclusion in configuration profiles that are capable of configuring VPN settings on various managed device operating systems. The computing environment can dynamically generate configuration profiles using the appropriate variable names such that a client device having a particular operating system installed thereon is capable of interpreting the value and the variable name to configure the VPN setting.

Disclosed are various examples for remote wireless network configuration using dynamically generated configuration profiles. A computing environment having a management service can determine variable names for inclusion in configuration profiles that are capable of configuring wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) settings on various managed device operating systems. The computing environment can dynamically generate configuration profiles using the appropriate variable names such that a client device having a particular operating system installed thereon is capable of interpreting the value and the variable name to configure the Wi-Fi setting.

Remote wireless network configuration using dynamically generated configuration profiles

Disclosed are various examples for pre-populating fields for creating dynamically generated configuration profiles. A computing environment can identify at least one field for input of a setting used to generate a configuration profile and can query existing configuration profiles to identify existing settings specified through the at least one field that can be actively used in device management. The existing settings can be ranked to determine a recommended value for the at least one field. The computing environment can generate a user interface that includes the at least one field, such that it is pre-populated to comprise the recommended value as a default value.
