Create a Windows Bluetooth Policy

You can configure Bluetooth restrictions for your Windows devices using this policy. The device must be enrolled in JumpCloud MDM. This policy works on devices running Windows 10/11.

To create a Windows Bluetooth Configuration policy:

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Policy Management.
  3. In the All tab, click (+).
  4. On the New Policy panel, select the Windows tab.
  5. Select Bluetooth Configuration policy from the list, then click configure.
  6. (Optional) In the Policy Name field, enter a new name for the policy or keep the default. Policy names must be unique.
  7. (Optional) In the Policy Notes field, enter details like when you created the policy, where you tested it, and where you deployed it.
  8. In the Settings field, select the settings you want enabled for this policy.

Note:

The three available bluetooth settings are enabled by default:

  • Allow Bluetooth Advertising
  • Allow Discovery Mode
  • Allow Preparing
  1. Optional) Select the Device Groups tab. Select one or more device groups where you want to apply this policy. For device groups with multiple OS member types, the policy is applied only to the supported OS.
  2. (Optional) Select the Devices tab. Select one or more devices where you want to apply this policy.
  3. Click Save. If prompted, click Save again. No further action is needed for this policy to take effect. 

Important:

After this policy is applied to a Windows device, the Bluetooth & devices section of the System Settings will display that Bluetooth is successfully turned off, even though the toggle is still marked as On.
