Overview
Standalone enrollment though VMware Boxer is available for AirWatch Administrators who are interested in providing secure email, calendar and contacts environment without a light or full management profile on the device.
This enrollment method allows users to download VMware Boxer, authenticate, and come to value quickly without the requirement of an anchor application such as Workspace ONE or the AirWatch Agent. It should be noted that standalone enrollment does not support all AirWatch enrollment flows and restrictions.
