Answered Retire / Wipe a Acer W510 Tablet

    I don't seem to have the option to remotely wipe the Acer Tablet W510 Tablet, the option is greyed out. The Intune Client software was setup in the Sysprep to connect to Intune when it was booted, This worked fine and I have all functionality except the ability to wipe the device.

    The Tablet is running Windows 8 Pro x32bit

    Any pointers would be much appriciated

    Cheers

    Mick

    Hi Mick,

    Windows Intune does not have the ability to wipe Windows 8 Pro devices.  Only Mobile devices like WP8 and iOS.
