Custom OMA settings to deploy custom settings on Windows devices

Content

MaaS360 adds support for deploying configuration settings directly on Windows 10 devices without using policies workflow. This feature leverages custom OMA settings and Microsoft's Windows Configuration Service Providers (CSP) to control features on the devices. This workaround allows the administrators to try out the new features before MaaS360 adds them in Secure Policies.

This feature is not available by default. Please contact MaaS360 support team to enable this feature for your account.

To deploy custom OMA settings,

1. Create an .xml file

The custom OMA settings are deployed in the form of .xml files. Microsoft Windows 10 CSPs, sample code, supported values are available in the following links:
