Deploy a discovery service to simplify
Windows 10
 activations

You can use a
Java
 web application from
BlackBerry
 as a discovery service to simplify the activation process for users with
Windows 10
 devices. If you use the discovery service, users don't need to type a server address during the activation process.
You can use different operating systems and web application tools to deploy a discovery service web application. The steps below address the high level tasks, the specific actions depend on your organization's environment.
  1. Configure a static IP address for the computer that will host the discovery service.
  2. If you want to allow users to activate devices while they are outside of your organization's network, configure the computer that will host the discovery service to listen externally on port 443.
  3. Create a DNS Host A record for the name
    enterpriseenrollment.
    <email_domain>
     that points to the static IP address that you configured.
  4. Create and install a certificate to secure TLS connections between
    Windows 10
     devices and the discovery service.
  5. Log into myAccount to download the Auto Discovery Proxy Tool. Run the .exe file to extract a .war file.
    The .exe file will extract the file
    W10AutoDiscovery-
    <version>
    .war
     to
    C:\BlackBerry
    .
  6. Rename
    W10AutoDiscovery-
    <version>
    .war
     to
    ROOT.war
    . Move it to the folder root of your
    Java
     application server.
  7. Update the wdp.properties file of the discovery service web application to include a list of the SRP IDs (
    UEM
     on-premises) or tenant IDs (
    UEM Cloud
    ) for your
    UEM
     instances. You can find the IDs in myAccount.
