Registering devices with autopilot ?

[mikkydoos]

Hi all,

 

I'm testing Autopilot with what will be upgraded to Win 11 devices.

 

For our existing hybrid-joined equipment... can anyone share a better method of registering devices in Autopilot rather than the laborious hardware hash method.

 

Or does anyone have a script/method that will query all the devices on a network and collect the info?... No SCCM here

 

 

And... for new devices, what supplier are you using to pre-register devices ?

 

 

 

Cheers in advance

I think there is a setting under the Deployment Profile to: 'Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot'. I've not used it, but I think this does what you want.

I've been meaning to look into Autopilot v2 but haven't got round to it yet. You don't need to deal with the hardware hash, however they will be enrolled as personal devices and you need to register them using their make, model and serial number to turn them into corporate devices.

You still need to register the device in Devices | Enrollment.

 

Can't assign a deployment profile to the device unless the hardware hash has been uploaded.

I've just tested this myself by creating a new deployment profile and assigning it to a group that contains a few hybrid classroom pcs (not in autopilot). You can assign a deployment profile to any group.

 

After about 15 mins they have all appears in the Autopilot list, so I think it does work.

Am I understanding what you've done correctly ?

 

"Assign a deployment profile to a group"... ?

 

Not assign the group to the deployment profile ?

 

 

 

 

I have a group named 'Autopilot Enrollment Group - Staff Devices'

1 Member = 'TESTAUTOPILOT'

This group is added to my autopilot deployment profile.

 

 

Device isn't showing after half an hour with 'Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot' = yes

 

 

 

Mind you, this is a Win10 machine. Is minimum for this Win 11?
