Extending the management of Chrome OS devices to BlackBerry UEM
Chrome OS
devices to BlackBerry UEM
Chrome OS
support with BlackBerry UEM
requires a Google
managed domain. Enrollment and some management of Chrome OS
devices continues to be done through the Google
managed domain console. The Chrome OS
integration with BlackBerry UEM
extends the management of some of the Chrome OS
management functionality to UEM
.In the
Google
Admin console, users and devices are organized into Org units, which are a hierarchical representation of groups of users, devices, and settings. BlackBerry UEM
synchronizes these org units from the Google
admin console into UEM
Org unit groups. Note that if any of your organization's top-level org units do not have a child org unit, you must create a child org unit so that BlackBerry UEM
can synchronize the information correctly. For more information about organizational units, see the information from Google.After the synchronization between
Google
and BlackBerry UEM
is complete, UEM registers with the Google domain for notifications of changes to org units, users, or devices. Then if, for example, a device is enrolled, a user’s name changes, or an org unit is moved, UEM
is notified immediately and updates the database accordingly.If your organization's
UEM
environment is already configured for Android Enterprise
, and it is configured to use manage Google
Play
accounts, and you want to support Chrome OS
Enterprise devices as an MDM solution (such as assign policies), you must perform one of the following options: - Disconnect the currentAndroid Enterpriseconfiguration and integrate with an existingGoogledomain. However, existingAndroid Enterprisedevices will stop functioning.
- Create a newUEMdomain orBlackBerry UEM Cloudtenant and integrateAndroid Enterprisewith an existingGoogledomain.

You must upgrade your Google managed domain to include "Chrome Enterprise Upgrade".

UEM
to support Chrome OS
devices, see the Configuration content.
