How do I enroll a managed or dedicated device via Zero-Touch Enrollment?
Zero-touch enrollment is a process which configures Android devices to their owners’ specifications out of the box with minimal user selection. On first boot or factory reset, the device checks for a configuration, downloads the appropriate DPC, and proceeds through setup. In order for the company IT administrator to register for a customer zero-touch account, the company must receive its devices from a reseller with a reseller zero-touch account. For more information, see Google’s article on Zero-touch enrollment for IT admins.
Register for a zero-touch portal customer account here, or the company’s device reseller can add a customer account.
Steps for IT Admin in the EMM

Steps to Add a Policy Configuration in Zero-Touch Portal
Click Configurations in the navigation panel.
Click + in the Configurations table to add a configuration.

Click Add to save the configuration.
Click Devices in the navigation panel.
Locate the device to be configured with zero touch and set the appropriate configuration.
Steps for End-User to Provision Device
Boot device for the first time or factory reset it. Press the Start button on the initial setup screen.
If there are multiple options to proceed through setup (e.g. scanning a barcode and manual setup), zero-touch will block options other than manual setup.
Device will display a message stating that it “will be managed and kept secure” by the organization. It will have a View terms link for Google’s terms and conditions and a link to the contact information that the organization’s IT administrator entered in the Zero-Touch Portal.
