Introduction

From Configuration Management it is possible to send a number of commands to enrolled devices.

Managing commands

These commands will be created as pending in the system and carried out when contact with the device is established.

  • Right-click the device and expand the 'Send Command' context menu.

  • Depending on the device a set of available commands will be shown in the "Send Command" menu
