Bulk device actions

To manage your Windows 365 Cloud PC environment, you sometimes need to push configuration settings to the endpoint.

Under Devices | Windows, you can find your endpoint objects to perform individual device actions on, such as the following:

  • Sync settings
  • Power on/off (frontline Cloud PCs only)
  • Restarting the Cloud PC
  • Restoring to a previous point in time
  • Reprovisioning the Cloud PC
  • Resizing
  • Collecting diagnostics
  • Windows Defender settings (scanning, updating an agent, etc.)
  • Rotating a local admin password
  • Configuring remote assistance
  • Placing the Cloud PC under review (eDiscovery)

Luckily, you are able to enable most of these settings in bulk. The following screenshot provides a view of the individual actions.
