Learning Airwatch

Chapter 2. Administration

Now that the infrastructure is set up, we can take a look at the administration of AirWatch by VMware. AirWatch has provided a centralized web-based console to manage its EMM suite, or as its being referred to more often these days, a single pane of glass for management.

As Admin Console is web based, there is no requirement for additional software, plugins, and so on. The latest browser on your desktop will allow you to simply log on and manage your environment. This is a significant benefit over other products that I have had to manage that require additional installations, plugins, configurations, and so on to manage them.

AirWatch Admin Console has improved quite a lot as it's grown from version to version. Currently, at the time of writing this, Admin Console is at Version 7.3. The console is very simple to learn and administrate. As we take our journey through this chapter, I will guide you through all sections of the console, so you'll...

Accessing Admin Console

AirWatch Admin Console is browser based, and it's recommended to use the latest version of Firefox or Chrome for management. By this time, you should have your URL set up whether you received it from AirWatch for your SaaS environment or you created your own custom URL with a dedicated SaaS or on-premise deployment. To access the console, open up a browser and enter your URL as https://myenvironment.domain.com. Once you are at the login screen, enter the username and password that were provided or set up during the installation:

Accessing Admin Console

The first time you log in, you will be presented with a screen to set up a four-digit security PIN for your account. The Security PIN will serve as the second factor of authentication for specific tasks within Admin Console to prevent accidental deletion of specific components, device wipes, and so on.

The Getting Started wizard

The next screen you will see once you set up your Security PIN will be the Getting Started wizard. The Getting Started wizard serves as a guide to ensure that you are successful in setting up and configuring your AirWatch environment.

Within the Getting Started wizard, you will be presented with the following tasks:

  • The Setup menu will consist of the following submenus:
    • Setup: This submenu will consist of the Apple MDM, Apple Certificate, and Email Domain options
    • Enroll: This submenu will consist of the Add User, Enroll Device, Dashboard, and Hub options
    • Secure: This submenu will consist of the Passcode And Encryption, Restrictions, and Compliance Policies options
    • Configure: This submenu will consist of the Profiles, Applications, App Catalog, Privacy, and Terms of Use options
    • Grouping: This submenu will consist of the Organization Groups, User Groups, and Smart Groups options
  • The Configuration menu will consist of the following submenus:
    • Enterprise Integration: This submenu...

Admin Console overview

AirWatch Admin Console consists of a header menu in the top-right and a main menu that flows vertically on the left of the console. The main screen will display the information from the menu item selected. In addition to the two menu items, there is a dropdown to change your organization group in the header menu. In the following screenshot, where it states Company X Parent Organization Group, this is where you can change your organization group to manage.

Admin Console overview

The header menu contains the following options from left to right on the top and bottom rows:

  • Search: The search feature allows you to search for anything within AirWatch Admin Console.
  • Getting Started: This option allows you to launch and continue the Getting Started wizard at any time if the wizard is enabled.
  • Add: This allows you to add an admin, device, user, compliance policy, content, profile, internal application or public application without needing to browse the menu.
  • Saved: This allows you to access any features...

Admin Console's main menu

Now that we have logged in and are familiar with Admin Console, we will go into detail on each of the main menu sections and what can be viewed, set up, and configured within each of them.

Hub

The first of the main menu items is Hub. When you click on Hub, you will be directed to the Overview section by default and presented with a submenu that appears to the right of the main menu, as shown in the following screenshot:

Hub

An overview

In the main screen of the Overview section, you will be presented with multiple different graphs and reports of the environment. You will find the following Overview submenus within the AirWatch Hub:

  • Devices: This submenu consists of the Status Breakdown, Platform Breakdown, and Enrollment History options
  • Compliance: This submenu consists of the Compliance Violations, Top Violated Policies, Devices with Blacklisted Apps and Devices without Required Apps options
  • Profiles: This submenu consists of the devices without Latest Profile Version...

Summary

As you can see from this chapter, AirWatch has a lot of management options within Admin Console. Once you get familiar with all the components and understand where everything is to be managed, you'll find that the management of AirWatch is fairly simple. Having Admin Console available within a browser is also an added benefit as there is no requirement for additional software.

You first learned how to access Admin Console through the provided URL from AirWatch, or the one you customized or created for your on-premise deployment.

We then looked at Admin Console at a high level and in detail, giving an overview of all the available menu options. Now that you are familiar with Admin Console, we will move onto the next chapter, which will provide you with details on Enterprise Integrations available with AirWatch.

This book has been a great resource for our team as we have plunged into the MDM space. Whether you are just starting out with Airwatch, looking for a quick reference source or training other team members, this has proven valuable and well worth the read.

I wish this book was available to me a few years back when I was first deploying AirWatch at Florida Hospital!! It would have saved me a lot of time. So many things to learn about, such as AirWatch ACC, SEG, MAG, MAM, MCM, architecture, profile builds and day to day support. This book is a must read for any serious professional who is new to mobility and wants to be on the fast track to implementing AirWatch on a corporate environment!! Do your research....AirWatch EMM is rated one of the best in the mobility field (if not the best) and the demand for experienced AirWatch Administrators is growing. An investment well worth it!!Senior Enterprise Mobility Engineer

Entering the mobility space cold-turkey can seem like jumping onto a moving treadmill going 15 mph. You don't want to land flat on your face, but thanks to resources like this book, you won't have to. Learning AirWatch is a terrific guide for MDM professionals ranging from the incoming analyst to the one man IT show.

Really good book, you can also buy the video version on Udemy. I would of liked some real test question from VMware. The test usually range from 2 to 3 thousand dollars, other than that it's a really good read.
