# How to disenroll organization from Android Enterprise?

Android Enterprise is Google’s framework for securing corporate data through containerization. While it offers robust management for **BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)** and corporate-owned hardware, there are scenarios—such as migrating accounts or decommissioning a portal—where you may need to disenroll your organization from the Hexnode UEM integration.

Critical Considerations Before Disenrolling 
--------------------------------------------

 Warning:**Immediate Impact on Devices**: Disenrolling your organization will automatically **remove all enrolled Android Enterprise devices** from management. These devices must be factory reset and re-enrolled to regain control.

 

### When NOT to Disenroll 

If your goal is simply to change the **administrator email address**, do not disenroll. Instead:

1. Add a new **Owner** account on the [admin settings](https://play.google.com/work/adminsettings) page.
2. Remove the old **Owner**. This re-configures the account without triggering a mass device disenrollment.

### What is Lost During Disenrollment? 

- All device configuration settings and enterprise restrictions.
- Managed app configurations and permissions.
- The list of approved applications in your Managed Play Store.
- Active management of all Android Enterprise-enrolled devices.

Method 1: Disenroll via Hexnode UEM Console 
--------------------------------------------

This is the standard procedure for most organizations to sever the link between Hexnode and Google.

1. **Access the Portal**: Log in to your **Hexnode UEM** portal.
2. **Navigate to Android Enterprise**: Go to **Enroll > Platform-Specific > Android > Android Enterprise**.
3. **Initiate Removal**: Review the organization details and click the **Disenroll Organization** button.
4. **Confirm**: Click **Disenroll** on the confirmation dialog.

The administrative account will be removed, and all associated devices will be disenrolled.

Method 2: Disenroll via Google Admin Console (Google Workspace) 
----------------------------------------------------------------

If your enrollment was configured using a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) account, you can initiate the process from Google’s end.

1. Log in to the [Google Admin Console](https://admin.google.com/).
2. Go to **Devices > Mobile & endpoints > Settings > Third-party Integrations**.
3. Select **Android EMM > Manage EMM providers**.
4. Find Hexnode and click **Remove**.

6. **Sync with Hexnode**: Return to the Hexnode portal (**Enroll > Android Enterprise**) and click **Disenroll** to clear the remaining local data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 
----------------------------------

### Q1. Can I disenroll just one device without affecting the organization? 

Yes. To remove a single device, use the [Disenroll Device](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/disenroll-and-delete-device-from-hexnode-mdm/) action under the Manage tab rather than disenrolling the entire organization.

### Q2. Can I re-integrate the same account later? 

Yes. After disenrolling, you can [integrate Android Enterprise](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/how-to-enroll-organization-in-android-enterprise-using-hexnode-mdm/) again using either the same Google account or a new one. However, previously disenrolled devices will still require manual re-enrollment.
