Devices should get offboarded from the service, so no data will be send anymore. The status of a device will switch to "Inactive" 7 days after offboarding. Existing data will remain in the portal based on the retention policy.

Thank you for your quick reply!
Unfortunately I have no information to share what resulted for this departure of the Defender - I was simply just asked to handle the off-boarding - what ever that means :).

Thank you very much! 🙂Kindly,
