Windows 10 Device Management

What is Windows Device Management?

Windows MDM (Mobile Device Management) is a technology used to provision, manage and secure Windows-based devices, such as laptops, tablets, and computers, in a corporate environment. An MDM solution for Windows makes it easy to enroll devices, set up restrictions and settings on devices, and remotely install or remove apps, as well as deliver content. By using a Windows MDM solution (SureMDM) IT administrators gain full control over the devices in the workplace, enhancing corporate data security and improvement in user and employee productivity.

Why is Windows MDM Necessary?

68%

of ransomware victims lacked an effective patch management process

64%

of companies leave over 1,000 sensitive files accessible to all

3.5

billion worth corporate laptops are stolen every year

Cyberattacks are rampant and businesses must ensure that their IT infrastructure stays secure. Manually configuring security and access control policies to protect devices is tedious for IT admins. To fully leverage Windows devices without compromising on security and usability in workplaces, businesses need a Windows Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution.

Windows MDM for Device Lifecycle Management

MDM for Device Lifecycle Management

The first step in managing Windows devices is to enroll the devices into a Windows MDM solution. Then you provision the devices by installing and configuring applications, applying security policies, and pushing content on the Windows devices. After provisioning, these Windows devices are deployed or delivered to the actual users. Once the devices are in active use, the Windows 10 MDM tool helps you manage and track those devices to ensure they remain secure and compliant. In case of non-compliance, you can use the Windows Mobile Device Management solution to take remedial actions as needed. Finally, once the devices become outdated or reach end-of-life (EOL), they are retired or decommissioned from the Windows MDM solution.

Capabilities of Windows MDM Software

Windows Enrollment

SureMDM empowers you to easily set up, enroll, and manage Windows devices right away.

  • Enroll Corporate and Bring-Your-Own Devices Alike: SureMDM supports both Corporate enrollment for full control. It also supports BYOD enrollment for Windows devices, so employees can bring their own Windows devices to work without compromising security and privacy. 
  • Multiple Enrollment Methods: SureMDM supports multiple enrollment methods for Windows devices such as Enrollment Using SureMDM Agent, EMM Enrollment, Enrollment Using Provisioning Package, and Windows Autopilot/OOBE(Out-of-box) enrollments. Additionally, SureMDM allows admins to configure EMM within SureMDM Agent so dual enrollment takes place automatically. This will help admins to configure features under Jobs and Profiles in SureMDM Web Console. Please note that dual enrollment is supported only on Windows 10 devices.
  • Rapid Set-Up: Bundle many settings, configurations, and policies into a profile, and send that profile to each device for rapid set-up. 
  • Customize Your Dashboard: The SureMDM Console features an intuitive dashboard. Set up the metrics you want to see, and find what you need at a glance. 
Keep Windows Devices Up-to-Date, Secure, and Compliant

Management: Keep Windows Devices Up-to-Date, Secure, and Compliant

SureMDM is the easiest Windows MDM for ensuring Windows devices follow best practices around workplace security and compliance.

  • App and Content Management: Push apps and content to Windows devices via the central SureMDM Console, or create and apply a profile with Application Policy and File Sharing Policy.
  • Dynamic Restrictions: Automatically allow or prevent device use based on location, time of day, and Wi-Fi connection status.
  • Minimum Password Standards: Set minimum password complexity requirements for each device, ensuring would-be thieves cannot easily guess passwords.
  • Device Health Monitoring: Monitor devices remotely. Set up alerts for low-battery, loss of connectivity and other non-compliance events.
  • User Management: Improved user management that allows admins to create, delete, modify permissions for an account, instead of solely creating users.
  • Compliance Management: Ensure Windows compliance with industry regulations and company policies through pre-configured and custom compliance profiles in SureMDM.

Security: Keep Devices Safer with SureMDM

Protect devices and the data on them using SureMDM.

  • Control Use of Peripherals: Prevent users and malicious actors from accessing device webcams or other unnecessary functionality.
  • Advanced BitLocker Management: Advanced BitLocker management allows a single job to perform actions such as encryption, decryption, and key rotation for all types of drives (including OS and fixed drives). Devices can be encrypted silently without the need to join Microsoft Entra ID. If device enrollment type is Microsoft Entra Join, key rotation ensures that keys are automatically loaded to Entra ID.
  • Lost Device Recovery: See lost devices on a map in the SureMDM Console. From there, lock down or erase device contents to keep corporate data safe.
  • Advanced Patch Management: Streamline OS updates to ensure devices are consistently running on the latest Windows versions. Configure device compliance policies based on Windows OS versions, gather insights on installed, missed, and pending updates, and even uninstall patches if necessary.
  • USB Security Management: Create a list of approved and prohibited USB devices to prevent the use of unauthorized ones. Additionally, SureMDM allows configuring security settings for individual devices or groups of devices, ensuring flexible security posture.
  • Improved Certificate Management: Remotely deploy unique certificates (PCKS and root certificates) on multiple Windows devices. Apart from adding new certificates, SureMDM supports removing all the existing certificates from their respective certificate stores on devices.

Windows Kiosk Lockdown and Secure Browsing

Make off-the-shelf Windows devices into high-quality kiosks for customers and employees using SureMDM.

  • Kiosk Lockdown: Lock Windows devices down and allow the use of only IT-approved allowlisted applications.
  • Secure Browser: Create a secure browser for Windows by restricting users to only websites you approve in advance.
  • Kiosk Video Player: Turn any Windows 10 device into a secure video player, looping videos in a playlist and preventing viewers from tampering with or exiting video playback.

Remote Control and Remote Troubleshooting

Remotely access any Windows device like it is directly in front of you.

  • Remote Control: Take control of your Windows devices remotely, and use mouse, keyboard, and touchscreen inputs as if you were in front of each device. User-end notification pop-up is also supported while a remote session is established. With multi-admin remote control, multiple admins can remotely connect and troubleshoot end-user devices at the same time.
  • Remote Troubleshooting: Repair devices whenever they need help with remote troubleshooting, and save money on transit costs.  
  • Advanced Support for Intel vPro/AMT Devices: SureMDM Active Management Technology (AMT) to give you full control over supported Intel vPro devices at all times, even when they are turned off.
