Autopilot/intune 1:1 wifi before student login - Onboarding tips

[titch]

We have a 1:1 device scheme currently and am trying to streamline the onboarding as best I can. Currently, our pupils need 2 touches of the device with about an hour in between to allow the device polices etc to apply.

 

Once pupils are logged in their user wifi policy takes over and they can auto-join the BYOD network without putting in credentials. But prior to this we have to add them to a guest network manually which is annoying. Is there any solution to this? We have company that enroll the devices for us but would love for them to somehow come out of the box, ready to connect to our onboarding SSID so this stage doesn't have to be done manually.

 

Any ideas or tips for smoother onboarding are greatly appreciated!

You could pre-provision devices, we do this to speed up deployment, we do it ourselves as we don’t use a third party, but they could do it for you before shipping. This would load apps and policies in advance.
