Abstract

Described herein are example methods and systems for enrolling a user device with an unified endpoint management system ('UEMS') directly from another user device. The examples describe a first user device that is already enrolled with the UEMS and a second user device that is seeking to be enrolled. The two user devices can establish a direct connection with each other. The second user device can be authenticated by a user inputting the same migration password or pin at both user device. The first user device can generate and send a migration data file to the second user device. The migration data file can include settings, policies, software packages, and files managed by the UEMS. The second user device can copy settings, policies, and files, and install the applications from the migration data file. The second user device can notify an UEMS server of the device migration.
