Computer Object Deletion

[morph3us]

Hello,

Question on the consequences of deleting a computer object in Jamf Pro, how will that affect Management commands sent to that computer? Context: For a missing macbook, I have sent a wipe command so that next time the macbook is connected to the internet again, it will erase sensitive data.

In addition, to clean up our Jamf inventory, I want to delete the computer entry so it avoids un-needed. I'm wondering if I delete the computer object, it will cancel those commands. Currently they are pending when I check their status.

Thanks

If you delete the computer record before the command is successfully sent, it will cancel the command.

@RachelGomez1619 This is for self hosted environments, correcdt?
Jamf Cloud hosted told me once a record is deleted, there is no restore.

Can you clarify?
