Stuck Remote Actions (wipe, retire, lock)

The question it answers: Which wipe, retire and lock actions have not completed because the device never checked in?

A wipe or lost-mode lock only happens when the device checks in. A lost laptop that never received its wipe still holds the data. Intune Audit Log shows who issued an action; this report shows whether it completed.
