End grace period for Cloud PCs
When a Cloud PC is in a grace period, the user can continue using the Cloud PC for seven days. After the seven-day grace period expires, the user is logged off the Cloud PC. They’ll lose access and the Cloud PC will be deprovisioned.
There may be situations where you don't want to wait seven days for the grace period to end normally. In this case, you can use the End grace period option to immediately end the grace period.
End grace period
Ending the grace period is a destructive action. Before ending the grace period, notify your users to be sure that they're fully aware of the impact.
Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center, select Devices > Windows 365 (under Provisioning) > All Cloud PCs.
In the Status column of the list, select In grace period > End grace period > Yes.
Important
This is a destructive act. It will delete the operating system and data. The Cloud PC will no longer be available.
After you select Yes, the following steps will happen automatically:
- The Cloud PC will start deprovisioning.
- The user loses access to the Cloud PC.
- The operating system and data are deleted from the Cloud PC. The Cloud PC is no longer available.
- If the original provisioning policy was replaced with a different policy, the Cloud PC will be reprovisioned with the settings in the new policy.
