Using ZDM with Windows devices in zoom app
ZDM (mobile device management) allows system administrators to update Windows devices remotely. Update schedules will be used by admins to install patches. The installation of assigned devices will occur outside your active hours once you have selected your active hours. Update and device selection can also be done to ignore certain updates and devices. The device will automatically log in to the Zoom Room you have selected from the web once it has been assigned and the Zoom Room is powered on. With ZDM, no activation code, email address, or pairing code is needed.
