Release Notes:

Windows

1. Configure a Default Admin Account: Now create a default admin account on all the managed devices by configuring the admin account details from Utilities > Global Settings > Windows Utilities
2. Downgrade Enrolled User to Non-Admin: You can now choose to downgrade an enrolled user to non-admin/standard user post the enrollment. This would allow you to ensure that post the enrollment the user does not have admin privileges and all policies are applied to the enrolled user.
3. Policy Targets: IT Admins can now choose the policy targets and control whether they are applied for all users or devices or only the enrolled users. The policies are,
   1. Allowed Website Policy
   2. Chrome/Edge Configuration
   3. VPN Policy
   4. Settings App Policy
4. Bitlocker Status: We have observed some inconsistencies in the Bitlocker status using the Windows MDM protocol, so now we use the Windows MDM agent to figure the exact Bitlocker status.

   1. We have revamped the Branding section to allow you to configure branding settings in a much simpler manner.
   2. Configure a Lock screen message on EMM or Knox managed devices. You can also use wildcards like $device.imei or $device.serial to make it a device specific message.
3. Native Notification Center: On your EMM managed devices now give the best experience of the notification center by allowing the end users to drag the top bar. You can choose to have them complete access or only Notifications.
4. MDM SDK: We are introducing an all new MDM SDK that can be used in your enterprise apps to get the device information and perform a wide variety of actions locally on device. Download the SDK and documentation from the Developer API section of Device profile.

8. Force GPS OFF: Now IT Admins can choose to force the GPS off to meet location compliances for Company-owned and BYO devices.
