Unable to associate user context with the Android Enterprise Subscription

Explanation: When you are creating an Android Enterprise Subscription an error occurs while associating a user context.

This might be because of any of the following reasons:

Scenario 1: The selected user context might already be associated with a subscription that is already unenrolled. The data associated with unenrolled subscription will be deleted only after 30 days.

Action: After unenrolling the Android Enterprise Subscription, delete the subscription data. To delete the subscription data run the zman sca command.

Scenario 2: Both Parent and child user are associated to the same Android Enterprise Subscription.

Action: Both parent and child user context cannot be associated with the same subscription. Depending on your requirement, you can remove either child or parent user context.

Remove at least one user and try again might be displayed.
Action: Remove the work profile that might have been setup initially by navigating to Settings > Accounts > Remove work profile, reboot the device and retry work profile setup. If the problem persists, remove any additional users from the device and retry work profile setup.

Work profile setup fails on an Android O device that already has work profile

Explanation: While setting up the work profile on an Android O device that already has a work profile set up from another EMM vendor, the work profile setup process might fail to remove the existing profile automatically.
Action: Manually remove the existing work profile before setting up the work profile using ZENworks.

On certain devices, apps fail to install but is made available in managed Google Play store

Explanation: During bundle assignment, the Allow users to install from the managed Google Play store remains unchecked for the app to silently install on the device. However, at times, instead of installing the app, it is made available in managed Google Play store.
Action: Install the app from managed Google Play store.

Work profile enrollment fails on certain Android 5.0 devices

Explanation: An Android 5.0 or 5.0.x device fails to enroll in the work profile mode, even if an Android Enrollment Policy is assigned,
Action: None. The device might not be Android enterprise capable.

Certain work apps crash when the user logs in to those specific apps

Explanation: When a user tries to log in to an app within the work profile, the app crashes or does not respond. This might happen if the app requires the user to add another account, which is by default disabled by ZENworks.
Action: Navigate to the Mobile Device Control Policy assigned to the user, select Android and enable the Allow Adding of Account Setting. This setting will enable users to add accounts within the work profile. However, this setting should be used with caution, as by enabling it users can also add their personal Google accounts and download personal apps within the work profile, which might make it difficult to contain corporate data within the profile workspace.

As a best practice, it is recommended that you pre-configure the app and deploy it using the Managed Configurations feature in ZENworks.
