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 .
Register for a zero-touch portal customer account , or the company’s device reseller can add a customer account.
