I will divide this part into multiple subparts because I wanted to know what happens when performing a Remote Wipe on a Windows 11 VM in different kinds of situations. So what happens when we execute the same Remote Wipe from Intune on a Windows 11 device? We will notice something different! Of course, we are making sure we don’t select the option to retain the user data option

This company is located a couple of 100 miles away so sending someone in to reimage the device was a no-go at this time. Luckily she is using OneDrive with Known Folder Move activated, so setting up her old notebook is going to be a piece of cake but what about her old device?
She tells you, she just received her brand new notebook and wanted to pass her old device (almost brand new) to a colleague of hers. Imagine the day you receive a Phone call from a CFO for a company you work for.
