Fixing "This Device Belongs to Your Organisation" Message on Intune Android Devices
While testing Intune Android device enrolment, I encountered something unexpected: once a device was fully enrolled, the lock screen displayed the message:
“This device belongs to your organisation name”
At first, I assumed this was being set via Device Configuration Profiles in Intune, using the lock screen message setting:
However, this wasn’t the cause. After diving deeper into Microsoft’s documentation, I discovered the following:
“By default, the OEM default messages are shown. When you deploy a custom message using Intune, the Intune default message is also deployed. If you don’t enter a custom message for the device’s default language, then the Intune default message is automatically shown.”

At this point, I suspected Samsung Knox (as the OEM) might be the source — but no available settings allowed me to control this message.
✅ How I Removed the “This device belongs to your organisation name” Lock Screen Message
The fix turned out to be deleting and recreating the Managed Google Play connection in Intune.
Step 1: Remove the Organisation from Google Managed Play
Visit: https://play.google.com/work/adminsettings
Remove the organisation:
Once the organisation is deleted, proceed to Intune.
Step 2: Disconnect Google Managed Play from Intune
In Intune, go to:
Tenant Administration > Connectors and Tokens > Managed Google Play
Click Disconnect and confirm:
⚠️ If you have corporate-owned, personally enabled (COPE) Android devices enrolled, you must remove them first:
Removing the work profile will wipe corporate data from the device.
Fully managed devices will factory reset:
Step 3: Reconnect Google Managed Play
With the connection removed, run through the setup wizard again:
Choose Android Only:
Click Get Started:
Update your organisation name — this is the text that appears in “This device belongs to your organisation name” on the lock screen:
Enter your data protection info and agree to GDPR terms:
Click Complete Setup:
Step 4: Create a New Android Enrolment Token
Go to:
Devices > Android > Enrolment > Corporate-owned, fully managed user devices
Create a new token:
🔁 If you’re using Samsung Knox Mobile Enrolment, you’ll need to add this new token there as well.
Step 5: Re-approve Apps in Managed Google Play
Since the connection has changed, any previously approved apps will need to be added again from the new Managed Google Play store.
Final Thoughts
If your Android devices enrolled via Intune are showing the message “This device belongs to your organisation name”, and it’s not set by a configuration profile, it’s likely due to the default Intune message shown when no custom language-specific message is defined.
By resetting your Google Managed Play Store connection, you can control and customise this message — or remove it entirely.
Hope this helps someone out there — it wasn’t immediately clear to me!
