Remote wipe a Non-MDM managed device

Aravinth Mathan 341

Hi All

Is there a way we can remotely wipe the disk or make the device unusable . We are not using any MDM solution at the moment.

Thanks in Advance!

This was helpful. However I m even looking for a suggestions/ideas on scripting and deleting the boot critical data so that the device becomes unusable.

Any thoughts / suggestions on that please.

Hi
If your device is lost, try
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/11579/microsoft-account-find-and-lock-lost-windows-device
if you don’t have a Microsoft account that is administrator on your device, or remote managing app installed, I’m afraid there is no official solution for this.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
