Part 1: Custom FileWave Client

What

Windows MDM with FileWave is implemented in a hybrid-mode.  That is, we can issue MDM commands (such as installing a policy), but also wish to leverage our native FileWave client capabilities.

When/Why

Our first step in setting up the integration for Windows MDM is to create and publish a customized FileWave client so that our newly MDM enrolled devices will have a functioning FileWave client installed upon enrollment.

How

Before anything make sure that you have done following steps

• Your FileWave server is running healthy, and backups are being performed.

• You have valid, trusted certificate installed on your FileWave server.

• You have at least saved FileWave preferences once (open preferences in the native admin and save it.)

  • This will set important configurations on your FileWave server (shared keys, etc.)

• You have at least updated model once

  • This will allow FileWave's internal URIs to be in place.

After you confirmed everything is ok:

Upload fwcld msi package

1. Open the native admin and open preferences.

2. Go to the Mobile tab and look under the Windows sub-tab.

3. Upload your custom client.msi package on that tab as shown below. Create this installer with the Customer Installer Builder.
