Confirm if Method #1 or #2 is used at the Samsung device site and follow the appropriate procedure.

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

Method #1: Legacy managed with Legacy Workspace (COPE)

On the management tool, verify that the default enrollment is set to "Legacy managed with Legacy Workspace".

1. Open Settings >> Biometric and security >> Other security settings >> Device admin apps.
