Using ZDM with Windows devices


System administrators can use Zoom's mobile device management (ZDM) tool to assign updates to Windows devices from the web. Admins will use an update schedule for installing patches. Once you have selected your active hours, installations will take place outside of these active hours for assigned devices. Updates and devices can also be selected so that certain updates or devices are ignored. Once assigned and the Zoom Room is powered on, the device will automatically be logged in to the Zoom Room you've selected from web. No need for activation codes, sign-in email addresses, or pairing codes with ZDM.
