Hotfix available for faster remote retire or wipe via Intune

  • Article

This hotfix adds the client notification component to Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. This component provides fast channel communications that a Configuration Manager administrator can use to notify clients to start time-sensitive tasks as soon as possible.

Additionally, this hotfix greatly reduces the time that's required to execute a successful retire or wipe of a Mobile Device Management (MDM) device. Without this hotfix, retire and wipe operations could require 24 hours to run successfully. After you apply this hotfix, retire and wipe operations are pushed to the following MDM device types:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Windows 8.1

These operations now run on the device in a matter of seconds, assuming the device is reachable by Windows Intune. The device must have an active data connection for Intune to communicate with it.
