Before installing DME on a device, it must first be added as a device in MobiControl. To do this, you must create or apply an Add Device rule. See the MobiControl documentation for specifics - the steps below emphasize what is important for DME to work correctly later.
In the MobiControl administration interface, open the Rules tab at the bottom of the window.
Click the platform for which you want to create a rule - iOS, Android, Android+, or Windows Phone.
Right-click the Add Devices folder, and choose Create Add Devices Rule.
Give the rule a name, and click Next.
Choose the target folders of the Add Devices rule. See the MobiControl documentation.
Click Next.
In the User Authentication Options, choose Utilize User Directory credentials to verify device enrollment.
This is important, as it forces MobiControl to register the device user's username with the device. DME needs that later for automatic configuration. For Windows Phone devices, this is required.
Choose your LDAP or AD server, and search for a group in the Search box.
Select the group or groups, and click Next.
You can now choose to add a message to the users in connection with the initial enrollment, and require them to read it (at least they must indicate that they have read it). To do this, check the field Enable Terms and Conditions, click Manage, and upload a file with your text (not Windows Phone).
Click Next.
Design the name of the device in MobiControl, and click Next.
Click Finish to save the new rule.
Create rules for each platform by repeating the above steps.
When a rule is saved, MobiControl generates an Enrollment ID and an Enrollment URL, which are visible when you click the newly created rule (not Windows Phone). Then instruct your users to enroll in one of three ways:
First method (not Windows Phone):
Instruct your users to go to Apple App Store or Google Play Store, respectively, to download the MobiControl app.
After installation, they need to enter the Enrollment ID which you have provided for them.
The MobiControl app will then connect to the MobiControl server, prompt to install the required MDM certificates, etc.
Second method (not Windows Phone):
Provide the Enrollment URL to the users, and let them open the URL in the browser.
The website will guide them through the process of installing the MobiControl app and the required certificates, and provide a valid Enrollment ID (which may or may not be required).
Third method (Windows Phone only):
Ask the users to open Settings > Company apps on their device.
Tap Add account.
Enter your work e-mail address and password, and tap Sign in.
When more fields show up, enter your AD user name and password, domain name, and path to MobiControl server, and tap Done.
After a while, your device has been enrolled with MobiControl.
The device is then managed by MobiControl, and DME can be installed from the MobiControl App Catalog (not Windows Phone - see next section).
MobiControl enrollment is described in more detail in the User Guides for the respective platforms.
