4.4 Quarantining New Devices to Prevent Immediate Connection

  1. In the Mobility Admin console, click Service Configuration Service Configuration icon, then click Device to display the Device Sync Agent Configuration page.

  2. Select Enable in the Quarantine New Devices field so that new devices cannot connect to your Mobility system until you allow them to.
