Manage Windows 10 devices through the G Suite Admin console

Posted: 16 Jan 2020 01:45 PM PST

What’s changing

We’re enabling enhanced desktop security for Windows with a new beta. This will allow you to manage and secure Windows 10 devices through the Admin console, just as you do for Android, iOS, Chrome, and Jamboard devices today. It will also enable SSO so users can more easily access G Suite and other SSO-enabled applications on Windows 10 devices.

With these new controls G Suite admins can:

• • Enable their organization to use existing G Suite account credentials to login to Windows 10 devices, and easily access apps and services with SSO

  • Protect user accounts with anti-phishing, anti-hijacking, and suspicious login detection technologies

  • Ensure that all Windows 10 devices used to access G Suite are updated, secure, and within compliance

  • Perform admin actions, such as wiping a device and pushing device configuration updates, to Windows 10 devices from the cloud without specific network requirements
