In August this year Microsoft posted an important announcement in the M365 admin portal Message Center as MC665936 entitled "Device Management Changes for Microsoft Teams Android Devices". Microsoft is introducing a new method for managing Teams Android Devices, transitioning from the legacy Android Device Administrator to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Device Management. This migration is essential for leveraging new features and functionalities that enhance device management and security, and also because Google has deprecated the Device Administrator API since 2020. The migration will come in the form of a new firmware update to Microsoft Teams Android devices from ODM partners in 2024. The firmware update will move devices from Android device administrator to Android AOSP management. In this blogpost we provide a step-by-step guide on how to prepare the Intune environment for this upcoming migration. |
