Is there a way to Powerwash a Chromebook when using Active Directory for its Management Mode?

We are taking our Sales Staff to Chromebooks and are using Active Directory to manage the Chromebooks. This prevents the Google Admin Console from having any ability to manage the Chromebook taking away abilities like Powerwash, Deprovision, and Disable device. Google Workspace support has determined they have no way to make these commands work if we use Active Directory as the Management Mode. I have tried finding alternative ways to prevent data theft if the Chromebook is stolen and have not been successful since they require the Chromebooks to use Cloud Management for their solutions to work. Leading to my question if Microsoft Active Directory has anything in the ChromeOS admx files that could help accomplish this extra level of security with our Chromebooks.

    Hi,

    Here is the list of the Chrome Enterprise policy list, for your reference:
    https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/
    Based on my understanding , there is not such a GPO to directly accomplish the extra level of security with our Chromebooks.

    Best Regards,

    Do you know how I can find out if anything like this is in the works for the future?
