Airwatch

Background Information

Workspace ONE (formerly known as Airwatch) is a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system.  Our department uses this technology to manage devices remotely–especially mobile devices like tablets and laptops.  This technology allows our IT team to configure security settings, manage updates, install applications, and perform many other management tasks.  The goal of this tool is to keep department assets in good software health while they are moving around networks outside of our building.

If you currently have a department-owned computer that does not have this software installed, please follow the steps below for the type of computer you have, either Windows or macOS.  If you are unsure whether you have this software installed, please check for the application with the following procedure.

Check Workspace One Enrollment

To check whether Workspace One Intelligent Hub is already installed and enrolled for Psyhciatry on your Windows computer, open the Start menu and search for Workspace One Intelligent Hub.

If the application is not there, then you don’t have the application installed and will need to go through the steps below.  If it is installed, open it and verify that “mdm.wisc.edu” is the Enrolled server and “smph-wispic” is the Enrolled group ID.  If that checks out, then you are already enrolled in the MDM and do not need to take further action.

Look at your menu bar in the top-right corner of your screen.  If you see the Intelligent Hub icon there then you have the agent installed.  Click it and select “Account” to open the details.  If you see “https://mdm.wisc.edu” for the Enrolled Server and “smph-wispic” for the Enrolled group ID, then you are already enrolled.

If you do not see the Intelligent Hub icon in the menu, you might still have it installed.  Press command + spacebar to open a Spotlight Search.  Type “Workspace One Intelligent Hub” to see if an application appears.  If so, open it and you should see the same image as above.  If not, then you don’t have it installed and need to go through the steps below.
