You can retire laptops of companies that have not communicated with the CommServe server for a specific length of time, and that are considered to be offline. You can configure a time period that offline company laptops are retired after, and then you can configure a time period that retired offline company laptops are deleted after.
After configuring a time period for retiring offline laptops, you can also choose to configure a time period after which the deconfigured offline laptops, if any, are deleted.
Note
-
By default, a company laptop is retired if it is offline for 6 months, and deconfigured offline laptops are never deleted.
-
If the time periods for retiring and deleting offline laptops is configured in a laptop plan, then the laptop plan configuration takes precedence over the company configuration. For more information about configuring those time periods in a laptop plan, see Retiring Offline Laptops Associated With a Plan.
