Windows MDM Policies (aka Profiles)

What

Windows configuration policies let you define and enforce settings on Windows devices that are enrolled in MDM. They are the Windows equivalent of a profile and cover settings such as BitLocker, Bluetooth, connectivity, cloud and storage, and device restrictions.

When/Why

Use a Windows profile when you want to apply Windows policy settings through FileWave to MDM-enrolled devices. The available categories will continue to expand over time, but the workflow stays the same.

How

To create a Windows profile in the web admin:

1. Open Payloads and click the + button.

2. Select Create Profile, then choose Create Windows Profile.

   

3. Configure the profile settings you want to enforce. The General category is mandatory, the profile must include at least one payload category before it can be saved, and the Installation Scope can be set to System or User.

   

4. Save the profile, then deploy it to the target device or device group from the deployment view.

5. Windows profiles require Windows devices that are enrolled through MDM.

You have now deployed a Windows profile.

FileWave does not currently show policy installation command history for Windows MDM profiles in the admin UI.
