Since we are doing summer device cleanup and device updates we are trying to clear user profiles for student devices so they all have a fresh start come August. I've figured out and tested the command 'issuecommand command wipe_users doit' but was curious if they timeout after a set timeframe. If I send the command to all devices today and they don't get opened up and connected to wifi for 10-60 days will the command still be queued or would it be better to run it closer to the start of the school year?

Also if they do stay queued for a long time is it possible to generate a list of any still queued commands? 

Thanks!

When you issue the command Google replies with details of the queued command including when it will expire should the device not see it by then:
