Migrating from SOTI MobiControl to WizyEMM is an easy process.

If your devices are Android zero-touch compatible, the migration can be done over the air in a few hours, without needing to take your devices off from the field. It's only a matter of changing the EMM configuration on your zero-touch portal. Otherwise, you will need to send out a QR code or NFC tag to your devices to trigger enrollment into WizyEMM.

Migrating EMMs triggers a factory-reset on your devices. Make sure you have backed up any critical data on your managed devices before launching the migration.

We present below 3 options to migrate your devices

Option 1: Using Android zero-touch enrollment
Option 2: Using a QR code
Option 3: Using a NFC tag

Option 1: Android zero-touch migration into WizyEMM

How does Android zero-touch enrollment work?

Zero-touch enrollment is a streamlined process for Android devices to be provisioned for enterprise management. On first boot, devices check to see if they’ve been assigned an enterprise configuration. If so, the device initiates the fully managed device provisioning method and downloads the associated WizyEMM profile, which then completes setup of the managed device.

If your devices are zero-touch compatible, you only need to change the EMM configuration of your devices in your zero-touch portal. Once your devices - still enrolled into Soti MobiControl - are connected to the internet, they will detect that they should be configured with WizyEMM. Your devices will then prompt their users to perform a factory reset, upon which devices will automatically enroll into their assigned WizyEMM profiles.

What are zero-touch requirements?

To use zero-touch enrollment, you’ll need to purchase compatible devices running Android Oreo (8.0) or above, or Pixel phone from Android Nougat (7.0). You'll also need to work with a zero-touch reseller.

The list of all compatible devices is available here.

The list of zero-touch resellers is available here.

How to configure zero-touch for WizyEMM?

Once you have contacted your Android zero-touch reseller, he will create your zero-touch customer account. Your reseller will then register your devices to your zero-touch account, by uploading the IMEIs or Serial Numbers of your devices in his reseller portal. You will then have to choose an EMM configuration to go with these devices. Once the EMM configuration saved, your devices will automatically enroll in the chosen configuration when connected to the internet.

You can configure your zero-touch enrollments from your zero-touch customer portal.

Access your zero-touch customer portal here
Go to the Configurations tab and create a new configuration
Choose "Wizy EMM - Android Device Policy" as the EMM DPC
From your WizyEMM profile, copy the Enrollment Token value. This token is found below the QR code in the enrollment tab of your profile, and is a chain of 20 letters.

Fill in the DPC Extras field with the following code bloc, by ensuring to replace ENROLLMENT_TOKEN_VALUE with the value of your enrollment token.

{
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_LEAVE_ALL_SYSTEM_APPS_ENABLED":true,
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": {
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.EXTRA_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN":"ENROLLMENT_TOKEN_VALUE"
}
}

Your configuration settings should look like this

Add in your company name, support email address, support phone number and custom message. These will appear on your devices during enrollment.
Confirm the configuration creation
Once your zero-touch reseller has registered your devices on his reseller portal, they will appear in the Devices tab of your zero-touch portal
In the Devices tab of your zero-touch portal, assign the configuration to your devices

How to enroll devices with Android zero-touch?

Once your have assigned a WizyEMM configuration to your devices in your zero-touch portal, and are ready to start the migration, make sure you have backed up any critical data on your devices.
From your SOTI MobiControl console, wipe all of the devices you wish to migrate. Your devices will then factory reset, when they receive the wipe command.
Upon factory reset, turn on your devices and connect them to the internet.
Once connected to the internet, your devices will detect the WizyEMM configuration and the setup wizard will automatically enroll them into WizyEMM.

Option 2: QR code migration into WizyEMM

How does QR code enrollment work?

In a QR code enrollment scenario, IT admins produce a QR code from their WizyEMM console, which is then flashed during the device enrollment process.

What are QR code enrollment requirements?

Devices must be Android 7.0 and above.

How to enroll devices with QR code?

Wipe your devices from your SOTI MobiControl console (see Annexe)
Access your WizyEMM QR code found in the Enrollment tab, of your chosen WizyEMM profile
Make sure your devices are factory reset, with the Android welcome screen
Tap 6 times on the Android welcome screen. If this does not work, simply follow the setup wizard, and when prompted to sign into Google, enter the following token : afw#setup
Insert your Wi-Fi details. For Android 9 and 10 devices, you can include your Wi-Fi details in your QR code from the WizyEMM console.
Follow instructions on screen, and your device will enroll into WizyEMM

Option 3: NFC enrollment into WizyEMM

What is NFC enrollment?

In a NFC enrollment scenario, IT admins must first configure an NFC tag with a WizyEMM configuration file. Enrollment is then quick and easy. The NFC enrollment occurs just after a factory reset, when the device displays the Android welcome screen. Just bump the NFC tag on your target devices, and the configuration file is automatically pushed through NFC to your target devices. Enrollment starts.

NFC enrollment is quicker compared to the QR Code and afw#setup methods for large deployments, but requires some initial setup of an NFC tag.

What are NFC enrollment requirements?

Devices must be Android 6.0 and above

How to setup the NFC tag?

The first step is to setup your NFC tag. We recommend using the free Android app NFC Tools to write your WizyEMM configuration file to your NFC tag.

Below is the standard NFC configuration file for WizyEMM

android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_NAME=com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc
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\={{ENROLLMENT_TOKEN_VALUE}}\n
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_LEAVE_ALL_SYSTEM_APPS_ENABLED=true
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_SSID={{YOUR_NETWORK_SSID}}
android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_PASSWORD={{YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD}}

Using this standard NFC config, you need to:

Replace {{ENROLLMENT_TOKEN_VALUE}} with the value of your enrollment token, found below the QR code, in the Enrollment tab of your profile in your WizyEMM account.
Replace {{YOUR_NETWORK_SSID}} and {{YOUR_NETWORK_PASSWORD}} with your network details

If you are using the free app NFC Tools to write to your NFC tag:

Go to the Write tab inside the NFC Tools app and click on the Add a record button
Go to the bottom of the list, and click on the "Data: Add a customer record" option
Fill in the Content-type with application / com.android.managedprovisioning
Copy paste the content of your configuration file into the Data field
Click OK
Write the configuration file to a NFC tag
