You can use bulk enrollment to register multiple Android devices quickly.
:::hint{type="info"}
See [Registration considerations](docId:4HqPidy4D-sZr7pOhdGzB) for points to consider before using this registration method.
:::
**Prerequisites**
- The Android SDK must be installed on the computer used to register the devices.
- Enable USB debugging. For more information on USB debugging see [http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html).
- Install Ivanti Mobile\@Work on each device.
- Use a USB cable to connect the devices to the provisioning computer.
**Example adb shell**:
$ adb shell am start "mirp\://www\.example.com%26user=cc%26pin=316940%26quickStart=false"
Sample values include:
Table: Sample values for adb shell
| Key | Value |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| user | User name that would have been typed into the username field if using iReg. Required. |
| pin | Registration Pin Required. |
| quickStart | - Set to TRUE: Do not display the splash screen. The Privacy screen is not displayed. The Apps\@Work shortcut is not created. On Zebra devices, Device Administration privileges are set automatically.
- Set to FALSE: The user must tap Continue on the Welcome screen to proceed. When quickstart is set to false the user must choose whether to accept Apps\@Work shortcut creation, must Acknowledge Privacy policy, and accept Device Admin priviledges. Optional defaults set to FALSE. |
Here is an example of a bulk enrollment script:
for i in \`adb devices | grep -v devices | grep device | cut -f 1\`
do
echo "Registering $i"
adb shell am start "mirp\://app183.auto.mobileiron.com%26user=cc%26pin=316940%26quickStart=false"
done
You might receive these error messages when you use bulk enrollment.
