Use this guide to begin testing your Blueprints by enrolling your devices in Kandji
Testing
We strongly recommend testing your Blueprints on specific testing devices, not in your production environment. This is a great way to verify your configuration works before deployment.
Kandji recommends the following testing checklist:
- Removal of current MDM (if applicable). Once the previous MDM profile is removed, ensure company devices can still connect to Wi-Fi.
- Testing of all desired security settings.
- Rigorous testing of app compatibility for all teams whose devices you will be enrolling in Kandji.
