Managing EMM groups

With Knox E-FOTA One, you can streamline your device management tasks by syncing device groups from your EMM. Connecting Knox E-FOTA to your EMM helps ensure that your device groups are never out of sync. Device information is managed in the EMM so that the Knox E-FOTA admin doesn't have to do it manually.

The device groups that you add are automatically synced from the EMM periodically every 6 hours. The following rules apply for devices you add from an EMM:

• Any device deleted from the EMM is also deleted from Knox E-FOTA One.
• Any device added to a device group in the EMM is automatically added to that device group in Knox E-FOTA One. Any enrollment or campaign policy that device group has is also applied to the newly added device.
• Any device moved to a different device group in the EMM is also moved in Knox E-FOTA One. Any enrollment or campaign policy that new device group has is also applied to the newly moved device.
