Key Challenges in Workspace ONE Migration

Before you begin, consider:

  No dual management

Devices cannot be managed by Workspace ONE and miniOrange simultaneously.

  Profiles must be recreated

Existing configuration profiles must be recreated in miniOrange.

  Applications need republishing

Managed applications need to be republished under the new platform.

  Device re-enrollment

Users may need to re-enroll their devices into miniOrange MDM.

  Temporary compliance shifts

Compliance monitoring may temporarily change during the transition.

  User communication required

Clear, timely end-user communication is required to avoid disruption.
