NinjaOne MDM System Requirements

System Requirements for MDM Android

To enroll an Android device into NinjaOne MDM, ensure that the MDM platform is bound with Android Enterprise. Android Enterprise is a free service that can be configured using a managed Google account (e.g., admin.google.com, Google Cloud Identity, Google Workspace) or a Gmail account. This Google account does not need to be shared, as it will serve only to register the Android Enterprise setup.

Minimum Requirements

  • Android OS Version: Android 8.0 or higher
  • Recommended OS Version: Android 9.0 or higher
  • Additional Software: Android Device Policy App for personally-owned devices

Steps to Bind with Android Enterprise

  1. Create or use an existing managed Google account.
  2. Navigate to the Android Enterprise setup page.
  3. Follow the prompts to bind the account with NinjaOne MDM.

Hardware Requirements

  • Devices must support Android Enterprise features.
  • Ensure sufficient storage and memory for MDM operations.

FAQ

The system requirements for mobile device management generally include devices running at least Android 8.0 or iOS 10, stable internet access for effective remote management, and, in some cases, additional setup (such as iOS supervision) to unlock advanced management features.

MDM enrollment typically supports iOS, iPadOS, and Android smartphones and tablets. Exact compatibility depends on the MDM platform and specific software requirements for MDM on each device type.

MDM restrictions are limitations placed on mobile devices by MDM software to ensure security and compliance with MDM requirements. These restrictions can control app usage, device functionality, network access, and content access. For example, MDM software might block certain apps, disable the camera, enforce strong passwords, or restrict access to specific websites. The goal is to protect sensitive data, prevent unauthorized access, and manage device usage within an organization.
