Enrolling Android Enterprise devices Using Mobile Data

Table of Contents

Introduction #

With the change to Android 10+ requiring a wireless network to go through the Fully Managed device enrolment, you may be asking, “Well what if my users don’t have access to a wireless network?”, don’t fret, with a bit of effort you can regenerate a new QR code that allows the use of Mobile Data.

Configuration #

The below sections detail the steps to generate a new QR code for enrolment, allowing the use of Mobile Data.

Get the QR Code Data #

Use QR Reader on an existing phone or using an online reader to get the full QR code data:

{
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME":"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc/.receivers.CloudDeviceAdminReceiver",
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_SIGNATURE_CHECKSUM":"I5YvS0O5hXY46mb01BlRjq4oJJGs2kuUcHvVkAPEXlg",
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION":"https://play.google.com/managed/downloadManagingApp?identifier=setup",
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE":{
      "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.EXTRA_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN":"TOKENVALUE"
   }
}

Updating the JSON Content #

Add in the below code snippet before the android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE section:

"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_USE_MOBILE_DATA":true,

So the full JSON string should look like the below, with the TOKENVALUE obviously the correct one:

{
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME":"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc/.receivers.CloudDeviceAdminReceiver",
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_SIGNATURE_CHECKSUM":"I5YvS0O5hXY46mb01BlRjq4oJJGs2kuUcHvVkAPEXlg",
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION":"https://play.google.com/managed/downloadManagingApp?identifier=setup",
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_USE_MOBILE_DATA":true,
   "android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE":{
      "com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.EXTRA_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN":"TOKENVALUE"
   }
}

Create a New QR Code #

Copy the string and paste it into an online QR code generator to generate the new QR code. This can then be provided to your users, pending testing, to allow them to enrol their new Android device in Microsoft Intune, whether connected to wireless or mobile data.
