command is consumed, all history and details about this endpoint are removed. Ensure that this is the
desired behavior before invoking this command.

1. In the left pane, click Populations > Endpoints.
2. Select the Workstation Endpoint Type.
3. If you know the full endpoint hostname, enter it in Search. Leave the field blank to display all
Workstation endpoints.
