Abstract
Methods and systems are described for a distributed auto discovery service for device enrollment. In an example, a user device enrolling in a Unified Endpoint Management (“UEM”) system can receive an email address. The enrolling user device can identify, on a local network that the enrolling user device is connected to, other user devices that are already enrolled with the UEM system. The unenrolled user device can send a discovery request to the enrolled user devices that includes the domain of the email address. One or more of the enrolled user devices can respond with a tenant identifier associated with the domain and a Uniform Resource Locator for a server that the unenrolled user device can contact to complete enrollment. The unenrolled user device can contact the server and complete enrollment using the email address and tenant identifier.
