Enhanced PPPC Payload for macOS

This means you can group all applicable preference permissions under a single parent Bundle ID or Path Identifier for a more streamlined management experience. From a functional perspective, the PPPC payload behaves the same as before. Additionally, you can surface details about the SIM currently installed in each iOS device using the new Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) keys. Once enabled, these details display on the Network tab of Device Details View to help you manage connectivity and/or integrate with mobile security partners.

Requirements: macOS 10.14+

Improved Network Payload for macOS

The network profile payload now supports multiple ethernet interfaces. Previously, Workspace ONE UEM targeted only the first active ethernet interface. This update allows you to target different 802.1x configurations to different interfaces. Alternatively, you can select ”Any Ethernet” to apply the configuration to any active ethernet adapter, regardless of adapter order.

This allows you to quickly troubleshoot remotely. Possible use-cases include validating app or profile pushes, or even if the Enterprise Reset occurred successfully.

New Proxy Payload for Windows 10

  • Enhanced level also sends usage and performance information for Windows and apps

Native Location Tracking Support for Windows 10

Enterprise Reset for Windows 10

Enterprise Reset is a new device wipe option for Windows 10. When a device is corrupted or has malfunctioning applications, an Enterprise Reset restores a device to a Ready to Work state. This reset re-installs the Windows OS, but preserves user data, user accounts and managed applications. After the reset, the device re-syncs auto-deployed enterprise settings, policies, and apps and remains under Workspace ONE management. This means you can reset or refresh devices, without requiring re-doing the entire enrollment and onboarding process.

Requirements: Windows 10 version 1709+.
