Once the MDM agent has been installed on the device it will populate the desired Profile in the PCSM and submit an audit with the following information:

  • Hardware: Manufacture, Model, IMEI, Serial number
  • Software: OS and version plus installed apps with version
  • Performance: Storage
  • Usage: User, Operator, Number, Location

MDM devices will automatically update their audit information every 24 hours or on demand, as required. When the device is being actively connected to, the MDM status will be online. Otherwise, it will appear as offline in the webportal.

MDM devices have a number of extra options available, in addition to the standard Action Bar options:

  • Remote Wipe: Perform a remote factory reset of the device. Please be aware that this will remove any user data stored on the device.
  • Remote Lock: Lock a device.
  • Remote Unlock: Unlock a locked device and remove the passcode. This will force the password to reset a passcode within 60 minutes.
  • Passcode Policy: Will force a simple 4 digit password to be set by the user.
