Overview of Windows Autopilot
Windows Autopilot is a collection of technologies used to set up and pre-configure new devices, getting them ready for productive use. You can also use Windows Autopilot to reset, repurpose, and recover devices. This solution enables an IT department to achieve the above with little to no infrastructure to manage, with a process that is easy and simple.
Devices must meet these requirements:
· Windows 10, version 1703 or later
· New devices that haven’t been through Windows out-of-box experience
See the following steps to setup Autopilot. After this setup, you may need to troubleshoot depending on the error or issues.
STEP 1
STEP 2
STEP 3
Step 4 verify the Autopilot configuration properties are correctly setup like below
P.S. We started recently configuring Autopilot at M365 and there is a big possibility that we may need to add more steps or correct the existing work instruction.
Any feedback appreciated.
