ccoltmanm Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I had two tablets stolen from my classroom. Never found them. Today, at home, i log in and go to my settings. I notice the names of the two tablets that were stolen have changed. I have this info, but I can't find where they are? Fail crossout, but who cares....

Ian S. Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Since there is no GPS, you probably wouldn't be able to locate it :( also no drive wipe either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 RDP? Which ones are the stolen ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Really? There's no 'where's my' tracking on surface devices? no remote wipe? I didn't know that, can ms do anything to help (or at the very least wipe them from some sort of override they have?) Nashy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 You mean MS didn't put two of the most basic and important security features into these? Order_66 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian S. Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 You mean MS didn't put two of the most basic and important security features into these? Yes. Really? There's no 'where's my' tracking on surface devices? no remote wipe? I didn't know that, can ms do anything to help (or at the very least wipe them from some sort of override they have?) Yes. You are correct, none. Same answer as before. I don't know OP should call them. If you have the device you can wipe using RESET my PC. Or you could have installed an app that would remote wipe.

ccoltmanm Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 MAHMOUD and MOESB are the stolen ones. Yeah, really sucks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted May 12, 2014 MVC Share Posted May 12, 2014 I also bet because it's a tablet, for future reference someone couldn't install truecrypt, because I doubt you would get an onscreen keyboard on post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I used to use Live Mesh to keep tabs on my devices... All went well until the "geniuses" at Microsoft decided to kill that off for some craptacular file picker on OneDrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja502 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 You can contact support to have them flag the unit.they have no way of tracking the device since it has no GPS.I would also suggest to file a police report if you haven't done so already. http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support zhangm 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted May 12, 2014 Veteran Share Posted May 12, 2014 I also bet because it's a tablet, for future reference someone couldn't install truecrypt, because I doubt you would get an onscreen keyboard on post. also can't install truecrypt on a UEFI system, which the surface is... no support for it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesmithg Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If you log into those accounts it should have a graphical representation of where it is being logged into from. It does that for my emails hotmail.co.uk and hotmail.com Has a nice map and an i.s.p. listed. It should be in recent activity. Then take these details pass them onto the police and let them deal with it. Take a screenshot. My example.
