Utilizing ThinkCentre Customization

ThinkCentre Customization is designed exclusively for ThinkCentre devices running Windows and requires a Basic license. It offers powerful features that allow Admins to remotely access devices and perform specific operations that require BIOS interface access. Since these features involve the BIOS, a device restart is often required. 

To access TCC, navigate to Policy Management > ThinkCentre Customization.

For security reasons, using One Key Disposal requires entering the Supervisor Password. To do this, go to Device Management > Devices, select a ThinkCentre device to open the device tray, then open the BIOS tab. In this tab, you can enter the Supervisor Password in the designated field to enable the use of OKD.  

One Key Disposal

The purpose of One Key Disposal (OKD) is to enable the wiping of all data and software from a device with just one click. This process will then automatically decommission the device and immediately remove it from LDM.

Devices

To start the process, select the device(s) from the list and confirm. This operation is performed at the BIOS level and follows these steps:  

1. After selecting the device(s), the Admin sends the request to the device(s).

2. Upon the next restart, the BIOS detects the outstanding request.

3. Following this, the system enters the BIOS.

4. The BIOS displays a pop-up box notifying the user that the Admin has requested data disposal and asks the user for confirmation. The user has the option to decline; if he accepts, the request is sent to the device.

OKD Request 

The OKD Request section shows the status of the requests for each device with the date and time.

This operation can only be applied to Online devices, and the BIOS version of the device needs to be recent to support these features.
