macOS bulk wipe from device group not showing in device historySolved

I bulk wiped a group of macOS devices from a device group. The action shows on the main dashboard/activity area, but when I open each device, I don’t see the wipe listed in the device action history or activity feed. I tested sending a wipe command to a separate Mac individually, and that one showed up in the activity feed as expected. The devices in the group currently don’t have assigned users because the users were removed before the wipe workflow. Is this expected behavior for bulk wipe actions from device groups, or should the wipe show under each device too?

For macOS devices, bulk wipe actions initiated through a device group should normally be reflected in the device action history/activity feed. However, if the devices do not have assigned users, the wipe command may not be initiated or displayed correctly at the individual device level.

In this case, try the following workaround:

  1. Assign a temporary or test user to the affected macOS devices.
  2. Initiate the bulk wipe action again from the device group.
  3. Open the individual device records and check the action history/activity feed.

Once the wipe action is visible and the command has been processed as expected, you can remove the temporary user assignment if it is no longer needed.
