Usually, before you consider to donate your old mac or resale, there is something you should never forget to do: have a backup, then how to erase and reinstall mac os. There are two ways to back up all data on your mac, which are as bellows: 1.1 Have a Backup with Time Machine. There is no denying that Apple always affords best experience to users.

By using the Retire or Wipe actions, you can remove devices from Intune that are no longer needed, being repurposed, or missing. Users can also issue a remote command from the Intune Company Portal to devices that are enrolled in Intune.

Note

Before you remove a user from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), use the Wipe or Retire actions for all devices that are associated with that user. If you remove users that have managed devices from Azure AD, Intune can no longer wipe or retire those devices.

Wipe

The Wipe action restores a device to its factory default settings. The user data is kept if you choose the Retain enrollment state and user account checkbox. Otherwise, all data, apps, and settings will be removed.

Wipe actionRetain enrollment state and user accountRemoved from Intune managementDescription
WipeNot checkedYesWipes all user accounts, data, MDM policies, and settings. Resets the operating system to its default state and settings.
WipeCheckedNoWipes all MDM Policies. Keeps user accounts and data. Resets user settings back to default. Resets the operating system to its default state and settings.

Note

The Wipe action is not available for iOS/iPadOS devices enrolled with User Enrollment. To create a User Enrollment profile: Set up iOS/iPadOS and iPadOS User Enrollment

The Retain enrollment state and user account option is only available for Windows 10 version 1709 or later.

MDM policies will be reapplied the next time the device connects to Intune.

A wipe is useful for resetting a device before you give the device to a new user, or when the device has been lost or stolen. Be careful about selecting Wipe. Data on the device cannot be recovered.

Wiping a device

  6. The Wipe device, and continue to wipe even if device loses power. option makes sure that the wipe action can't be circumvented by turning off the device. This option will keep trying to reset the device until successful. In some configurations this action may leave the device unable to reboot.

  7. To confirm the wipe, select Yes.

If the device is on and connected, the Wipe action propagates across all device types in less than 15 minutes.

Retire

The Retire action removes managed app data (where applicable), settings, and email profiles that were assigned by using Intune. The device is removed from Intune management. This happens the next time the device checks in and receives the remote Retire action. The device still shows up in Intune until the device checks in. If you want to remove stale devices immediately, use the Delete action instead.

Retire leaves the user's personal data on the device.

The following tables describe what data is removed, and the effect of the Retire action on data that remains on the device after company data is removed.

iOS

Data typeiOS
Company apps and associated data installed by IntuneApps installed using Company Portal: For apps that are pinned to the management profile, all app data and the apps are removed. These apps include apps originally installed from App Store and later managed as company apps unless the app is configured to not be uninstalled on device removal.
Microsoft apps that use App Protection Policies and were installed from App Store: When a Retire action is initiated against an enrolled device, Intune also initiates a selective wipe for apps (including those installed from the App Store) that have work or school account data protected by an App Protection Policy. The next time the app is launched, the selective wipe removes the protected work or school account data. In order for the selective wipe to occur, an App Protection Policy check-in must occur between the MDM enrollment and retire events. Personal app data and the apps are not removed after a selective wipe.

Manually un-enroll devices

Device owners can manually un-enroll their devices as explained in the following end user help articles:

Delete devices from the Intune portal

If you want to remove devices from the Intune portal, you can delete them from the specific device pane. The next time the device checks in, any company data on it will be removed.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.
  2. Choose Devices > All devices > choose the devices you want to delete > Delete.

Automatically delete devices with cleanup rules

You can configure Intune to automatically remove devices that appear to be inactive, stale, or unresponsive. These cleanup rules continuously monitor your device inventory so that your device records stay current. Devices deleted in this way are removed from Intune management. This setting affects all devices managed by Intune, not just specific ones.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.
  2. Choose Devices > Device cleanup rules > Yes.
  3. In the Delete devices that haven't checked in for this many days box, enter a number between 30 and 270.
  4. Choose Save.

Device cleanup rules don't support Android Enterprise devices, including fully managed, dedicated, corporate-owned work profile, and personally-owned work profile.

If a removed device checks in before its device certification expires, it will reappear in the console.

The device clean up rule doesn't trigger a wipe or retire.

Note

Name Wip Mac Os Download

Device cleanup rules aren't available for Jamf-managed devices and Android Enterprise scenarios like Fully Managed, Dedicated, and Corporate-Owned with Work Profile.

Delete devices from the Azure Active Directory portal

Name Wip Mac Os X

You might need to delete devices from Azure AD due to communication issues or missing devices. You can use the Delete action to remove device records from the Azure portal for devices that you know are unreachable and unlikely to communicate with Azure again. The Delete action doesn't remove a device from management.

  1. Sign in to Azure Active Directory in the Azure portal by using your admin credentials. You can also sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center. From the menu, select Admin centers > Azure AD.
  2. Create an Azure subscription if you don't have one. This shouldn't require a credit card or payment if you have a paid account (select the Register your free Azure Active Directory subscription link).
  3. Select Azure Active Directory, and then select your organization.
  4. Select the Users tab.
  5. Select the user that's associated with the device that you want to delete.
  6. Select Devices.
  7. Remove devices as appropriate. For example, you might remove devices that are no longer in use, or devices that have inaccurate definitions.
