Today, we're excited to share that Windows 365 management capabilities are now generally available on N-able Cloud Commander.
N-able provides remote monitoring and management solutions for managed service providers (MSPs) and cloud solution providers (CSPs). N-able Cloud Commander is a multitenant solution for the Microsoft Cloud that enables MSPs and CSPs to manage Microsoft users, Microsoft Azure resources, and Microsoft Intune from a single console. The new Windows 365 integration with N-able Cloud Commander provides MSPs and CSPs with comprehensive management and monitoring capabilities for Windows 365 Cloud PCs, and benefits include:
Comprehensive endpoint management
- Endpoint administrators can view and manage Windows 365 Cloud PCs across all users, covering Windows 365 Business, Windows 365 Enterprise, and Windows 365 Frontline editions.
- Key monitoring parameters for each Cloud PC, such as provisioning status, power state, connectivity status, and last sign in, are readily available. The service plan is also displayed, which aids in precise license management.
Actionable device control
- Administrators can perform various actions on devices, such as refreshing, renaming, rebooting, and reprovisioning, with the ability to execute many actions in bulk. These actions are role-based and ensure appropriate access control.
Microsoft Intune integration
- Intune-specific functions for Windows 365 Cloud PCs are still accessible from the Intune list.
Enhanced license management
- The new product licenses page allows viewing and managing of Windows 365 licenses, including usage for shared licenses such as Windows 365 Frontline. This integration simplifies license administration and optimization.
Unified dashboard
- N-able Cloud Commander offers a single management interface for all Windows 365 Cloud PCs regardless of Intune enrollment status. Administrators can leverage Windows 365 device capabilities and relate them to the Intune counterpart and device license.
Future updates and enhancements
- Future updates will introduce the power-off action for Windows 365 Cloud PCs, particularly for Windows 365 Frontline products, which will allow released device licenses to be returned to the available pool for other users.
- Future enhancements will include troubleshooting capabilities to help reduce time needed to resolve problems.
