Complete device enrollment

To allow your selected EMM solution to take over device management, the device user needs to simply turn on the device and follow a series of on-screen instructions.

Depending on the size of your device fleet and whether or not you purchased the devices from a reseller, you can use the following enrollment methods:

• Out-of-box experience (OOBE) — Ideal for large device fleets. Suitable for enrolling reseller-uploaded devices.
• QR code — Best suited for small device fleets. Suitable for both reseller-uploaded and non-reseller uploaded devices.
• Knox Deployment App — Best suited for small device fleets as you can only enroll one device at a time. Suitable for non-reseller uploaded devices.

This page provides an overview of each method along with instructions for device users to complete enrollment.
