What’s new on MaaS 360 Mobile Device Management 10.71

 

IOS and MacOS MDM

1. MaaS360 now allows you to Disown Device web service API from Apple Device Enrollment Program. The Disown Device API disowns a Device Enrollment Program (DEP) device (based on the device identifier) that is associated with a Device Enrollment Program (DEP) token. After a device is disowned from the DEP, administrator needs to unenroll the disowned device. The API then informs Apple servers that the server no longer owns one or more MaaS360 enrolled DEP devices. Depending on the response seen below, taken from the server user can use the device without supervision features.

2. Success: The device is disowned successfully.

3. Not accessible: A device with the specified  ID is not accessible.

4. Failed: The process of disowning the device failed due to an unexpected issue. If the process fails after 3 attempts, you must contact Apple Support.

These s include Windows s, security s, Windows Store apps, and Windows Store for Business apps. This setting is available in the “MaaS360 Portal  -> Windows Policy -> Device Settings.

2. MaaS360 now supports wifi-based geo-fencing for Windows 10 MDM enrolled devices. Administrators can add managed wifi locations in the “MaaS360 Portal -> Security -> Locations -> Add Wi-Fi Locations.

The MaaS360 Portal also displays a Checked In or Checked Out status for devices that are connecting or disconnecting from wifi locations. Device users can view managed wifi locations from the Windows 10 MaaS360 app on the device.
