Enrollment Policies
Enrollment policies automate enrolling a device in management withinitial settings.
Based on device type, an enrollment policy can define items such as a
device's connection address, device ID, and whether the device uses
Afaria Access Control for Email. It can prompt the user to collect user
information, and it adds a device to groups for additional and ongoing
management.
Enrollment policies are always in a published state. As an alternativeto unpublishing an enrollment policy, edit the policy and disable or
delete its enrollment codes.
