Manage Windows 10 devices through the G Suite Admin console
Thursday, January 16, 2020
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

Additionally, this makes life easier for users by reducing the hurdles and logins needed to access applications and get work done. Users need to log in just once to their Windows 10 device using their G Suite login credentials, and they’ll be able to access Google apps and any other enterprise cloud applications with SSO enabled without further logins.

- End users: No action required until admins activate the beta.
Set policies, push configurations to devices, and wipe devices as needed
Admins can deploy policies and device configuration updates from the cloud, removing any network or other restraints for installing these updates on user devices. Policies and updates that can be applied by admins include BitLocker, Windows Update, and desktop customization. Additionally, admins can block or wipe devices if needed from the device page in the Admin console.
