Release Notes: 2024.1 SOTI MobiControl Release Notes

Project Overview: As the project lead for the "Manage Apple TV with MobiControl" initiative at SOTI, I oversaw the seamless integration of Apple TV device management capabilities into our MobiControl platform. This project aimed to empower administrators with comprehensive control over Apple TV devices within enterprise environments, enabling streamlined enrollment, configuration, and management through a centralized platform.

Project Description: The project introduced a suite of features designed to facilitate the management of Apple TV devices by MobiControl administrators. Leveraging Automated Device Enrollment (ADE), administrators can effortlessly enroll Apple TV devices into the MobiControl ecosystem, ensuring rapid deployment and configuration across large-scale deployments. Additionally, administrators gain access to a range of payloads, including Feature Control, Single App Mode, and Conference Room Display Mode, allowing for tailored device configurations to meet specific business requirements.

Key Objectives:

  1. Enhanced Device Configuration: We aimed to provide administrators with granular control over Apple TV device settings and configurations. Through the deployment of payloads such as Feature Control, Single App Mode, and Conference Room Display Mode, administrators can customize device behavior to align with organizational policies and use cases.

  2. Improved Management Efficiency: The project sought to optimize management workflows by centralizing Apple TV device management within the MobiControl platform. Administrators can efficiently monitor device status, apply configuration changes, and troubleshoot issues, enhancing overall management efficiency and productivity.

Key Achievements:

  • Payload Deployment Capabilities: Administrators can now leverage a range of payloads, including Feature Control, Single App Mode, and Conference Room Display Mode, to configure Apple TV devices according to specific use cases and requirements.

  • Enhanced Management Visibility: The project delivered enhanced management visibility, allowing administrators to monitor device status, track usage metrics, and enforce compliance policies effectively.
