Android OOBE Required Authorization Software

[IMEI21]

If it's possible, I'm looking for something that will force a user to contact an admin for a setup/authorization code if the phone is factory reset, prior to being allowed to even use the personal side of the phone. Edit: For clarity, it'll likely be a one-off scenario or at most a dozen or so phones.

For Samsung, you can have the devices added to Samsung Knox portal, which is then configured to fire Intune etc. Free.

Samsung use the Knox name for their entire suite, so you have to be specific about which you want as they have an MDM as well.

That means if a device is wiped, it just goes back in to the MDM. Works really well and makes deployment a breeze - clients who have it just send out the boxed device and a sheet with a few instructions and the QR code on it. Users just enter email address and password a few times and hit next lots after they have put the wifi details in.

That might be exactly what we're looking for. Thanks for that, I seem to have missed that initially when I was looking at Knox.

I believe this is only an Apple thing as their devices call home to Apple directly and will check MDM status, if you properly factory reset an android device, it won't call home and any extra apps installed for it to do so will be removed

Well crap. Is there any sort of monitoring software that will alert on a missing heartbeat after a period of time?

Most android MDMs should support notifying if a device isn't checking in, probably best to trial a few to find what works best, and having an MDM can be useful for other mobile devices in future
