For a closed network / AOSP deployment, only Android Enterprise devices in Work Managed Device mode can be provisioned. In order to provision the device, the administrator needs to download the Device Policy Controller (DPC.)

## What the Administrator does:

- The Administrator adds the URL for the IIS server (where the Device Policy Controller (DPC) is hosted) into the Provisioner app and generates a QR code.
- The Android device is rebooted to factory setting.

For more information, see [Provisioning Android Enterprise devices using a QR code or NFC bump](docId\:kovqwnZCLidDTz5biV5iL).

## What the device user does:

### Provisioning Non-GMS devices
