MobiControl v15.1.1 Release Notes


v15.1.1 Build 1184 on May 25, 2020

MD5 Checksum: f4a98ec7be2d273e14e14ac78c94c285

Upgrade Considerations

To support new functionality mentioned herein, SOTI MobiControl's minimum system requirements have been updated to .NET Core 3.1 and Windows Server 2016.

The MobiControl installer will warn on upgrade if it detects Profiles with the Webroot powered "Web Filter" and/or "Antivirus" device configurations. Future upgrades will not be allowed unless all "Web Filter" configurations are transitioned to "SOTI Surf", and all Android device agents are upgraded to v13.5 or higher to continue support for Antivirus.

Please note: We strongly recommend following the standard IT change control practices and testing of product upgrades in pre-production environments.

Contact SOTI's Professional Services and Support Team or visit the product documentation for information on proceeding with your upgrade.

Features and Improvements

Android Enterprise

  • Administrators can now remote control Zebra Android Enterprise devices without requiring installation of an additional plugin.

iOS

  • SOTI MobiControl now communicates with the modern Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) endpoint for the enrollment and management of Apple devices.  Please see the APNS Changes Impacting SOTI MobiControl Customers article on SOTI Central for more information on the new system and security requirements.
  • Customized Enrollment can now be disabled for Apple's Automated Device Enrollment. This option is available in the Automated Device Enrollment tab of Apple Add Device Rules.
