Use Group Policy Configuration to Specify the Mode in Which the Management Console Runs

You can use Group Policy configuration to set which mode, standalone mode or integration mode, VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console runs in and to control if the Management Console provides the option for you to switch between modes.

Enabling the Workspace ONE UEM Integration policy setting from the VMware DEM Management Console.admx template allows you to set which mode the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console runs in. You can use the following policy options with this policy setting.

Policy Option	Description
Mode	Select the mode you want the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console to run in. Integrated, for integration with Workspace ONE UEM. Standalone
Enforced	Select Enforced to prevent overriding the mode that VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console runs in. Without the Enforced option selected, you can use the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console to switch between modes. If you select Enforced, the following conditions and behaviors apply. The configuration dialog in the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console does not display the controls for configuring the mode. In standalone mode, the Save As and Extract options are not available in the main menu, . If command-line options are specified that implicitly or explicitly specify the mode not currently in use, an error message appears and the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console exits.
