Device Management

ThinkSmart View is a managed device for IT organizations. As an admin, you can manage Teams devices in your
organization from the Microsoft Teams admin center. You can view and manage the device inventory and do
tasks such as update, restart, and monitor diagnostics for devices. You can also create and assign configuration
profiles to a device or groups of devices.
Here are some examples of how you can manage ThinkSmart View devices in your organization.
•
Change device information
•
Manage software updates
•

You can find more information about the Teams Admin Center and managing Teams devices here.
Microsoft Intune, also known as Microsoft Endpoint Manager, is the supported device management platform
for Teams devices. If you have Microsoft Intune in your organization, devices are automatically enrolled in
Intune. After a device is enrolled, device compliance is confirmed, and conditional access policies are applied
to the device. You can find more information about Microsoft Intune here.
When devices are enrolled and managed in Intune, administrators can:
•
See the devices enrolled and get an inventory of devices accessing organization resources.
•
Configure devices so they meet your security and health standards. For example, you probably want to
block jailbroken devices.
•
Push certificates to devices so users can easily access your Wi-Fi network, or use a VPN to connect to
your network.
•
See reports on users and devices that are compliant, and not compliant.
•
Remove organization data if a device is lost, stolen, or not used anymore.
