Locate Android fully managed
Hello, I read that is now possible to locate Android Entreprise Fully managed in Intune : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/remote-actions/device-locate#supported-platforms I activ...
We are testing this functionality as well and get the same results on 4 different phones. We created a device configuration profile to enable this setting--and I can see on the phone that location services is turned on, confirmed that Intune has permission to use location services-but there is supposed to be an alert on the device that states that the device lost and location is being queried-but that notification never shows up. Im wondering if since this uses bing maps-maybe bing maps app also needs to be installed? (actually there is no bing map app) If so that's stupid-but it would not surprise me. Also we are in Corp-owned Fully managed android enterprise.
Just tried it again. I pushed the policies and there is a notification on the device that the location was requested. Once i click locate device(which becomes available in the UI after the policy is pushed), everything works except the location is not showed on the map and an error is shown. I suspect this final part is not yet implemented by microsoft. I don't understand why this is not finished yet, we like to track a lost device.
- Hello,
This service not seems very reliable.
See comments here : https://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/remotely-locating-corporate-owned-android-enterprise-devices/- Thanks i already configured the steps over there but i have never managed to get the actual location. I will follow the progress at Peter's blog.
- Since about 2 months ago this service has been working for us 100%. I reviewed Peter's blog and his recommendations match my working "Android Enterprise Fully Managed... Device Restrictions" policy and permissions on the device. On your test device check to see if location is turned on and confirm that Intune has permission. We haven't found a way to enforce location services to remain on, but aside from that our policy just magically started working.
