Enroll Your Existing Android Devices in Workspace ONE UEM with Ease

Addition to the existing method of adding devices to Workspace ONE UEM through initial setup or QR code scan, there is another method that can be used for testing purposes. This method utilizes ADB commands and does not require initial setup or QR code scan. In this blog post, we will go over the steps to add a device to Workspace ONE UEM using ADB commands.

Prerequisites:

* PC with ADB command capabilities

* Google USB driver installed (for Windows)

* OEM-provided proprietary driver installed (for Windows)

* Android SDK Platform-Tools package installed (for standalone use)

* Intelligent Hub APK file

Step 1: Install the Android SDK Platform-Tools Package

If you plan to use this method for standalone testing, you will need to install the Android SDK Platform-Tools package. This package provides the ADB commands necessary for device management. You can download the package from the Android Developers website.

Step 2: Connect the Device to the PC

Next, connect your device to the PC using a USB cable. Make sure that the Google USB driver is installed on the PC and that the device is recognized as a valid ADB target.

Step 3: Enable ADB on the Device

Before you can use ADB commands on the device, you need to enable ADB. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your device.

2. Scroll down and select “Developer options.”

3. Select “Enable ADB.”

4. Enter the password for the Android debugging bridge (ADB).

Step 4: Use ADB Commands to Add the Device to Workspace ONE UEM

Now that ADB is enabled on your device, you can use ADB commands to add the device to Workspace ONE UEM. The command you need to use is “adb -d pm install /path/to/IntelligentHubAPK.apk.” Replace “” with the serial number of your device, and “/path/to/IntelligentHubAPK.apk” with the path to the Intelligent Hub APK file on your PC.

For example, if your device has a serial number of “1234567890,” you would use the following command: “adb -d 1234567890 pm install /path/to/IntelligentHubAPK.apk.”

Step 5: Verify the Device is Added to Workspace ONE UEM

After running the ADB command, you should see a message indicating that the device has been successfully added to Workspace ONE UEM. To verify that the device is properly enrolled, open the Workspace ONE UEM console and check that the device is listed under the “Devices” tab.

Conclusion:

In this blog post, we have covered an alternative method for adding devices to Workspace ONE UEM using ADB commands. This method can be useful for testing purposes or for adding devices that do not support QR code scanning or initial setup. By following the steps outlined in this post, you can add devices to Workspace ONE UEM without requiring initial setup or QR code scan.
