2. New Updates to Apple Device Management

You can customize the primary account settings using custom properties or create an admin account during enrollment.
- System Logs for macOS: Collect the Device Console logs of your managed devices right from the Scalefusion dashboard. Collect complete logs or define specific filters and predicates, adding multiple search properties.
- Updates to Password Policy: Set a specific duration after which a disabled account can log back into macOS devices using the “Reset Time After Max Failed Attempts” option. Additionally, you can now configure a 45-day password expiry period for both iOS and macOS devices.
- Profile changes: Easily find the deprecated settings under the macOS device profile section and configure essential and available policies with our UI enhancements. Prevent accidental data sync issues with the default enable of iCloud settings for new profiles.
3. What’s New on Scalefusion Dashboard

- Multi-Group Selection in DeepDive: Select multiple groups in DeepDive and view a combined report encompassing all selected groups.
- Policy and Profiles as PDF: Obtain the details of policies and actions performed on any device. Download the applied profile and policy settings as a PDF. This option can be accessed via the Print button in the list of profile actions. You can also download Android BYO and Apple AUE profiles as PDFs.

Control these settings via RBAC and customize access for custom roles.
4. Updates to Windows Device Management
- Compliment your modern management with Scalefusion for Windows: Enroll Windows devices managed using any other modern management tool on Scalefusion and leverage Scalefusion’s advanced features such as Remote Control, Kiosk Mode, Script Execution, and MSI installation for Windows without migrating from your existing solution.
- Custom Properties in Windows Add Application: Use custom properties when adding application details in Windows profiles. You can configure applications based on device-specific paths, ensuring that each device gets the correct application setup.
5. Updates to Scalefusion OneIdP
- Integrate Reddiffmail for work with Scalefusion OneIdP: Import users from the Rediffmail service to the OneIdP directory, create SSO configuration, enable conditional access, and authenticate and authorize users with their Rediffmail IDs on work apps.

- User Account Activation: Track user account activations when users reset their passwords via invitation emails or enroll devices. The updated Directory page now displays the activation status, no of users that have activated accounts, and the pending accounts. Send reminders to pending users directly from this page, facilitating a smoother transition to SSO powered by OneIdP.
6. What’s New for Android Device Management
- SCEP CA Server Integration for Android: Automate certificate deployment on Android devices by integrating a SCEP-based CA server. SCEP is a simple certificate enrollment protocol that helps generate certificates from a template.
