The team discussed a possible issue with duplicate Windows endpoints in the DEX console and how to handle them.

Others chimed in to explain that security controls can be checked through scans or device inventory, and the unavailable status means there is no built-in remediation for the app. It was suggested to disable the unnecessary controls in the template to avoid confusion.
