Many of the SOTI scripts are not supported by Android Enterprise managed devices and I don't think they've made it very clear which, if any, will be supported and when. I've been performing my own independent testing of scripting support on DA vs. AEDO devices and there are a number of key scripts not currently supported including: kill_application, wipeapplication, and watchsettings.
Hey,
kill_application, wipeapplication, and watchsettings al work fine on this device.
But I can't get the writesettings operational
No error though on the device when sending or in the console, but the setting on the device remains unchanged

Unfortunately the writesettings, writesecuresettings, replacetxt commands do not work on Android plus (DA) or AEDO devices. The loss of the kill_application, wipeapplication, and watchsettings when moving to AEDO is very concerning. Particularly when when trying to update applications on devices in the field.
writesecuresettings does work with Android+ (DA) as we use it quite frequently with Zebra Android devices. We definitely miss it, along with the other mentioned scripts in AEDO however.
Of course you are right Matt. I was a little overzealous with my post.
All thanks for your input, but the problem is actually caused by language/keyboard-settings on the device that generates the script.
When a 3th party entered/ran the script, all went fine.
As soon as I use a '0' in the value, the script does not function anymore, if run from my laptop
e.g.
writesecuresetting –sys screen_brightness 200 > does not work
writesecuresetting –sys screen_brightness 211 > does work
If the 3th party provides the script (with '0') and I copy/paste it > OK
If I backspace a trailing '0' en reenter is > the script doesn't work anymore
Problem is due the PC from were the script is entered (not SOTI itself)
