Fix Recommendation

Configure the DoD warning banner by either of the following methods (required text is found in the Discussion):

Method #1: Place the DoD warning banner in the user agreement signed by each Samsung Android device user (preferred method).

****

Method #2: Configure the warning banner text in the KPE Reboot Banner on each managed mobile device.

On the management tool, in the device Banner section, set "Banner Text" to the DoD-managed warning banner text.

Check Contents

Confirm if Method #1 or #2 is used at the Samsung device site and follow the appropriate procedure.

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

Review the signed user agreements for several Samsung Android device users and verify that the agreement includes the required DoD warning banner text.
