Mobile device enrollment	Learn how mobile device enrollment verifies that only authenticated and authorized devices can be managed by their enterprise.	08C8B3DB-3263-414B-A368-F47B94F47A11		dansimp	dansimp	article	w10	windows	manikadhiman	08/11/2017

Mobile device enrollment

Mobile device enrollment is the first phase of enterprise management. The device is configured to communicate with the MDM server using security precautions during the enrollment process. The enrollment service verifies that only authenticated and authorized devices can be managed by their enterprise.

The enrollment process includes the following steps:

Discovery of the enrollment endpoint

This step provides the enrollment endpoint configuration settings.
Certificate installation

This step handles user authentication, certificate generation, and certificate installation. The installed certificates will be used in the future to manage client/server Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) mutual authentication.
DM Client provisioning

This step configures the Device Management (DM) client to connect to a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server after enrollment via DM SyncML over HTTPS (also known as Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) XML).

Enrollment protocol

There are a number of changes made to the enrollment protocol to better support a variety of scenarios across all platforms. For detailed information about the mobile device enrollment protocol, see [MS-MDM]: Mobile Device Management Protocol and [MS-MDE2]: Mobile Device Enrollment Protocol Version 2.

The enrollment process involves the following steps:

Discovery request

The discovery request is a simple HTTP post call that returns XML over HTTP. The returned XML includes the authentication URL, the management service URL, and the user credential type.

Certificate enrollment policy

The certificate enrollment policy configuration is an implementation of the MS-XCEP protocol, which is described in [MS-XCEP]: X.509 Certificate Enrollment Policy Protocol Specification. Section 4 of the specification provides an example of the policy request and response. The X.509 Certificate Enrollment Policy Protocol is a minimal messaging protocol that includes a single client request message (GetPolicies) with a matching server response message (GetPoliciesResponse). For more information, see [MS-XCEP]: X.509 Certificate Enrollment Policy Protocol

Certificate enrollment

The certificate enrollment is an implementation of the MS-WSTEP protocol.

Management configuration

The server sends provisioning XML that contains a server certificate (for SSL server authentication), a client certificate issued by enterprise CA, DM client bootstrap information (for the client to communicate with the management server), an enterprise application token (for the user to install enterprise applications), and the link to download the Company Hub application.

The following topics describe the end-to-end enrollment process using various authentication methods:

Note

As a best practice, do not use hardcoded server-side checks on values such as:

User agent string

Any fixed URIs that are passed during enrollment

Specific formatting of any value unless otherwise noted, such as the format of the device ID.

Enrollment support for domain-joined devices

Devices that are joined to an on-premises Active Directory can enroll into MDM via the Work access page in Settings. However, the enrollment can only target the user enrolled with user-specific policies. Device targeted policies will continue to impact all users of the device.

Disable MDM enrollments

In Windows 10 and Windows 11, IT admin can disable MDM enrollments for domain-joined PCs using Group Policy. Using the GP editor, the path is Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > MDM > Disable MDM Enrollment.

Here is the corresponding registry key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MDM

Value: DisableRegistration

Enrollment scenarios not supported

The following scenarios do not allow MDM enrollments:

Built-in administrator accounts on Windows desktop cannot enroll into MDM.
Standard users cannot enroll in MDM. Only admin users can enroll.

Enrollment error messages

The enrollment server can decline enrollment messages using the SOAP Fault format. Errors created can be sent as follows:
