Knox Mobile Enrollment is a quick and easy way to enroll and setup multiple devices with an EMM solution. It enables out-of-the-box EMM enrollment and configuration of new Samsung devices. If the devices are not bought through a reseller, Samsung still offers an option for enrollment and configuration using NFC and Bluetooth.
SureMDM and Knox Mobile Enrollment
SureMDM supports Knox Mobile Enrollment and can be configured to enroll and push default profiles to Samsung devices using a back-to-back phone bump (NFC) or Bluetooth.
