  • The device will be automatically added to the matching dynamic local device groups of the target organization.
    • If a device enters a device group the corresponding polcies are applied.
  • The device is not removed from public device groups.

  • The history of the device is completely removed.
  • Additionally a new device history is created for the successful moving into the target organization.

Enrollment

  • Single enrollments are moved to the target organization.
  • For Multi enrollments, there will be a new unusable single enrollment created in the target organization.
  • Additionally the referenced user, rulesets, policies and notifications are removed from the device.
