GlobalProtect Host Information Profile (HIP) - Identify UW-Owned/Managed Devices

HIP Objects are used in an attempt to identify devices that are owned and/or managed by UW-Madison. This describes the checks that are done to attempt to identify ownership.

macOS & Windows

Three checks are performed to identify potential UW-owned devices. If any check returns true, the device is assumed to be UW-owned or managed.

  • Domain is 'ad.wisc.edu'
  • Device has BigFix installed and the plist/registry entry is configured to use both of the following:
    • ServerName: tem.services.wisc.edu
    • GatherURL: http://tem.services.wisc.edu:52311/cgi-bin/bfgather.exe/actionsite
  • Device has Workspace ONE (WS1) installed and the plist/registry entry is configured to use one of the following:
    • awcm1733.awmdm.com
    • mdm.wisc.edu

Android, iOS, iPadOS & Linux

These devices are not currently identified as UW-Owned/Managed and will appear as BYOD devices.
