Frequently Asked Questions

What is ChromeOS Management?

ChromeOS Management lets IT teams enroll, configure, secure, monitor, and reuse Chromebooks remotely through one platform. Bento MDM applies policies, deploys apps, controls update channels, and supports shared and kiosk-mode devices across the fleet.

How are Chromebooks enrolled into Bento MDM?

Chromebooks enroll through Chrome Enterprise Upgrade on first sign-in. Bento MDM connects to Google Admin and applies configuration, identity, apps, and policy automatically with no manual staging.

What's the difference between Chrome Enterprise Upgrade and Bento MDM?

Chrome Enterprise Upgrade is the Google licensing tier that unlocks management policies on a Chromebook. Bento MDM is the management platform that uses those policies to enroll, configure, monitor, and support Chromebook fleets alongside Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile.

Can Bento MDM manage shared and student Chromebooks?

Yes. Bento MDM supports managed guest sessions, kiosk modes, role-based app sets, and per-session power-wash so shared Chromebooks stay clean and policy-aligned between users.

How does Chromebook update channel control work?

Bento MDM pins Chromebooks to the stable, beta, or LTS channel and schedules the auto-update and auto-restart windows so updates land without disrupting class, shift, or trading hours.

Can a lost Chromebook be locked, wiped, or deprovisioned remotely?

Yes. Admins can disable, deprovision, or remotely power-wash a lost Chromebook from the console, blocking sign-in and clearing local data without physical access.

Does Bento MDM work alongside Google Workspace and Google Admin?

Yes. Bento MDM connects to Google Admin and Google Workspace for identity, app delivery, and reporting, then layers cross-platform management across the rest of the fleet from one console.
