We have an employee with Windows machine that is no longer with the company. If we lock the device, does that just send it to the lock screen and he can unlock it with his password?
Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.
If you are locking the device via Remote actions, the device will be locked in the normal way. The lock screen will appear on the device and the user will be able to login using the login credentials.
However, if you want to remove the data on the device and block the user from using it, you can wipe the device. This will remove all the data in the device and factory reset the device.
To wipe a device:
- Navigate to Manage-> Device and select the desired device.
- Click on the Actions button and choose the option ‘Wipe Device’
Cheers!
