A Beginner’s Guide to Windows Device Management

Windows devices continue to be widely used in businesses, and Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions have become an essential tool for managing these devices efficiently and securely. With the rise of remote and hybrid work, many organizations are moving from traditional on-premise management to more flexible cloud-based MDM solutions, like Miradore, which offer scalability, ease of use, and enhanced security features. These solutions are particularly suited for managing devices running Windows 10 and 11, as older versions like Windows 7 and 8 do not support MDM protocols. Centralized device management through MDM provides various advantages, such as time-saving standardized processes, improved security, and compliance with data protection regulations. Enrolling devices into an MDM platform, such as Microsoft’s Azure Active Directory, can streamline device management by allowing bulk enrollment and automatic configuration. MDM features include reporting, device configuration, automation, security, application management, patch management, and control over Windows updates, which altogether enhance the management and security of a company's device fleet.
