How to Enroll a Fleet of Android Devices in Android Enterprise

For Android Enterprise enrollment of a fleet, IT administrators can use Zero-Touch Enrollment, which automates device provisioning without manual setup per device. This process involves configuring enrollment tokens in the Google Admin console, preparing devices for enrollment, and then provisioning them with organizational policies and apps through your Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution.

The enrollment process varies slightly depending on your EMM provider but follows these key steps: preparing devices for enrollment, configuring settings in the Google Admin console, linking your EMM solution, and then deploying devices to users with all necessary policies and applications pre-installed. This guide will walk through the entire process using Rhino's Android Enterprise Recommended devices.

1. Preparing for Enrollment

Before beginning the enrollment process, ensure you have the necessary foundations in place:

• Verify your devices are Android Enterprise Recommended (Rhino's C-Series and T-Series devices qualify)
• Ensure you have a Google Workspace or Google Cloud Identity account
• Select and configure your Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution
• Prepare your organizational units and policies in the Google Admin console

Rhino's C-Series (C6, C65, C65R) and T-Series (T80, T85, T100, T105) devices are all Android Enterprise Recommended, making them ideal for streamlined fleet enrollment through Zero-Touch Enrollment.

2. Configuring Zero-Touch Enrollment in Google Admin Console

The Google Admin console is where you'll establish the enrollment framework for your fleet:

• Navigate to Devices > Android > Enrollment in the Google Admin console
• Click "Set up enrollment"
• Create an enrollment token with appropriate permissions
• Configure device state settings (device name, owner organization, etc.)
• Select the organizational unit for devices

This token will serve as the "key" that allows your Rhino devices to automatically enroll in your Android Enterprise environment when powered on for the first time.

3. Linking Your EMM Solution

Your EMM provider acts as the management interface for your enrolled devices:

• In the Google Admin console, go to Devices > Android > Enrollment
• Click "Set up enrollment" and select "EMM server"
• Enter your EMM provider's server information
• Complete the authentication process with your EMM provider

Popular EMM solutions that work with Rhino devices include Intune, Workspace ONE, SOTI, and others that are part of the Android Enterprise EMM ecosystem.

4. Preparing Rhino Devices for Enrollment

Proper device preparation is crucial for successful Zero-Touch Enrollment:

• Ensure devices are powered off
• Connect devices to power (they should remain off)
• For new devices, they should not have been set up before
• For Rhino devices, ensure they're running a compatible Android version

Rhino's Android devices come with a minimum 3-year device availability guarantee, ensuring your fleet remains manageable and supportable throughout its lifecycle.

5. Initiating Enrollment Process

Once everything is configured, you can begin enrolling your devices:

• Power on the devices while connected to power
• Devices will automatically detect the enrollment token
• Follow the on-screen prompts to complete initial setup
• Devices will automatically enroll in your Android Enterprise environment

With Zero-Touch Enrollment, this process happens without any manual intervention per device, significantly reducing deployment time for large fleets.

6. Configuring Device Policies with RHINO OEMConfig

After enrollment, you'll need to configure device policies and settings:

• Access your EMM console's policy management section
• Apply organizational policies to devices
• Configure Rhino-specific settings using RHINO OEMConfig
• Set security policies, restrictions, and work profile settings

RHINO OEMConfig allows IT administrators to configure device-specific settings at scale through your EMM solution, ensuring consistent policy enforcement across your entire Rhino fleet.

7. Deploying Applications

With devices enrolled and policies configured, you can now deploy applications:

• In your EMM console, select the appropriate organizational unit
• Add required work apps to the deployment list
• Configure app permissions and settings
• Deploy apps to devices (they will automatically install)

Rhino's Android Enterprise Recommended devices are optimized for enterprise app deployment and management, ensuring reliable performance across your business applications.

8. Verifying Enrollment and Configuration

Finally, verify that everything is working correctly:

• Check device status in the Google Admin console
• Verify device compliance in your EMM console
• Test device functionality and policies
• Confirm apps are properly installed and configured

Regular verification ensures your fleet remains compliant and functioning as expected, with Rhino's long-term support guarantee providing peace of mind throughout the device lifecycle.

Rhino's C-Series and T-Series devices are specifically designed for enterprise fleet management with Android Enterprise Recommended certification, making them ideal for Zero-Touch Enrollment. Our devices support RHINO OEMConfig, allowing IT administrators to configure device-specific settings at scale through your EMM solution. This combination of enterprise-ready hardware and fleet management capabilities simplifies the enrollment process and reduces long-term operational complexity.
