Afaria7 - Device OS/Date/Time control

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I'm installed Afaria7 SP4, May I know whether Afaria7 can control the device OS, set the Date and time on iOS and android device?

Is that any article if the afaria7 cannot control the OS/Date/Time?

Thank you.

For WINDOWS32 client ( System and Laptop) you can set the time according to the server time.

You can run session manager event SET Client time it will set according to the server time.

Session manager not applicable for IOS device

Note : The Set Client Time worklist event for Session Manager is currenlty ONLY supported for the Afaria Windows Client Type

Hi Chetan,

Thanks for your reply. May I conclude that the afaria server cannot control the device date/time?

How about the control of the device OS?

Hi,

This will restrict the user to open the setting area on device.

Block the setting on device.

Note : This policy is only available for SAMSUNG AES2 device .

To know the device is AES2 , you can download the AES checker from playstore and install  on device .

Hi Chetan,

If the device is AES2 device and I disable the user to open the setting area on device. so that the user cannot click the software update in the device setting.

In this way, can I say that the user will not possible to update the device OS?
