Integrating Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager and Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM

You can use Dynamic Environment Manager in integration mode, which refers to an integration of Dynamic Environment Manager and Workspace ONE UEM.

Dynamic Environment Manager uses configuration files to manage user and Windows settings and to dynamically configure the desktop. In standalone mode, the configuration files are stored in a Dynamic Environment Manager configuration share. In integration mode, the configuration files are contained in a Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file. After you create a Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file, you use Workspace ONE UEM to distribute the file to Workspace ONE UEM endpoints.

Integration-Mode Workflow

The following process illustrates the full workflow of Dynamic Environment Manager in integration mode. Therefore, after you install or upgrade Dynamic Environment Manager, open the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console in integration mode and perform the applicable actions.

Attention:

• If you install Dynamic Environment Manager as a fresh installation, when you open the Management Console the first time, you are prompted to select which mode the Management Console opens in going forward, integration mode or standalone mode.

  Whichever mode you select, the Management Console subsequently opens in that mode, unless you change the mode, such as by selecting Configure > Integration in the Management Console.

• You can also use the command line to open the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console in a specific mode. The mode you specify only applies to that launch of the Management Console.

  • Specify the -StandaloneMode command line argument to open the Management Console in standalone mode.
  • Specify the -IntegrationMode command-line argument to open the Management Console in integration mode.
  • Similarly, you can pass the name of a .DEMConfig file to open the Management Console in integration mode and automatically open the specified Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file.

1. Create or edit the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file in the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console main menu, , by using the New option to create or the Open option to edit.

2. Create, edit, or delete the Dynamic Environment Manager configuration files.

3. If you have not configured a license, select the License option in the main menu. For more information, see Managing the License.

   Without a license, FlexEngine on endpoint devices does not function.

4. Save a Dynamic Environment Manager configuration environment to a Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file using the Save or Save As options in the main menu.

5. Use the Workspace ONE UEM console to upload the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file and to target the profile to Workspace ONE UEM smart groups.

   This action makes the Dynamic Environment Manager configuration available for distribution to endpoint devices, where FlexEngine picks it up and applies it.

6. To edit the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile, download the previously uploaded Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file from the Workspace ONE UEM console and take either of the following actions.

   • Open the file in the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console using the Open option in the main menu.
   • Double-click the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file to open it in the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console.

Switching Between Dynamic Environment Manager Modes

You can switch the mode that Dynamic Environment Manager runs in.

When you switch from standalone mode to integration mode, the standalone-mode configuration from the configuration share is available for integration mode. Using the Management Console, you can save this configuration in a Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file.

When you switch from integration mode to standalone mode, the configuration from the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file is available for standalone mode. You can save this configuration from the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file to the configuration share.

Procedure

• If you are using Dynamic Environment Manager in standalone mode, to migrate the configuration to integration mode, save the Dynamic Environment Manager configuration share content to a Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file.

  1. Start the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console in standalone mode.

  2. Click the main menu icon, , and click Save As.

  3. Provide a fully qualified filename for the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file.

  The configuration files are now saved to a Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file on your local machine.

  Complete the integration using Workspace ONE UEM. See Integration-Mode Workflow.

• If you are using Dynamic Environment Manager in integration mode, to migrate the configuration to standalone mode, download the Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file from Workspace ONE UEM to a local folder, and complete the following substeps.

  1. Start the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console in standalone mode.

  2. Click the main menu icon, , and click Extract to extract the previously downloaded Dynamic Environment Manager config profile file to a configuration folder.

• To switch the mode that the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console opens in, perform the following steps.

  1. Start the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console.

  2. Select Configure > Integration.

  3. Switch to the mode not currently configured.

     • To switch from standalone mode to integration mode, select Workspace ONE UEM Integration and click OK.
     • To switch from integration mode to standalone mode, deselect Workspace ONE UEM Integration and click OK. The new mode is selected.

  Important: To complete the switch between modes, exit and restart the Management Console after you switch modes.
