How to List MDM Authorities Across All Windows Devices

Using Kolide, you can easily view and query Windows MDM Authorities across your fleet.

Introduction

A Windows MDM (Mobile Device Management) authority is a system that allows administrators to manage and secure mobile devices running Windows. It typically works by enforcing policies, managing applications, and controlling access to network resources.

It enables IT departments to remotely configure settings, push updates, and even wipe data on devices if they are lost or stolen. Furthermore, a Windows MDM management authority can provide detailed reports on device usage and compliance, helping organizations to monitor and optimize their mobile workforce.

What Windows MDM Authority Data Can Kolide Collect?

Kolide's endpoint agent bundles in osquery to efficiently collect Windows MDM Authorities from Windows devices in your fleet. Once collected, Kolide will parse, clean up, and centrally store this data in Inventory for your team to view, query, or export via API.

Kolide meticulously documents every piece of data returned so you can understand the results.
