I am just wondering what people’s strategies are for allowing a lost or stolen laptop to get online so the lost/lock command can be recieved? My thoughts are:

  1. Create a wifi policy with a specific SSID/pwrd that can set up to enable a recovered laptop to get back online so the password can be changed.
  2. Similar to above, a USB:NIC adapter to plug in and get it back online
  3. A customer policy or script that creates a guest acccount on each laptop, with no password, that can be accessed to allow the user to connect to a network to recieve the lock instructions

Is there an easier way to do this? What is the general best practices to get the lost or stolen laptop back online to recieve instructions from the MDM?

Thanks!
