Wi-Fi SSID for device shows up as unknown SSID

Hey people, recently I’ve noticed that after enrolling a few Android devices, the SSID of the network to which the device is connected is shown as under the Devices tab. I tried scanning the device again after enrollment but it remained the same. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Use keyboard for Android Remote Control

It would be beneficial if users could use their computer keyboards to type remotely on the device, rather than having to click on the virtual keyboard. This feature would allow me, and likely many other users, to stop using TeamViewer and consider upgrading to Ultimate.

Different Lock- and homescreen wallpapers

Hi, Is it possible to assign a different wallpaper to the lock screen than the one for the homescreen from the MDM? If not, is it possible to request the feature, because I am currently doing it by hand and that goes right until there is a policy update.
