Windows 10: AutoPilot in China

Sobis · Sep 15, 2021 at 8:07 AM

Recently I have tried several times about Autopilot testing on Dell Latitude 5320 and Microsoft surface pro 4, but always failed. Below is an example, you can see the error message is “TPM attestation timed out”.As I know, fTPM assembled on laptops in China, not standard TPM, at least on Dell laptop, not sure if this difference cause this issue.Could someone advise on this issue, thank you!Model: Latitude 5320SN: 1XKH5B3

Autopilot Profiles: Azure /Intune.

In the Microsoft Partner Center Dashboard I am able to both create and configure Autopilot profiles and (once it’s working) register devices to apply those Autopilot profiles to.

In the Azure Intune Dashboard I am able to do the exact same functions as mentioned above in the Microsoft Partner Center by navigating:

Open Azure

Open InTune

Click Device Enrollment

Click Windows Enrollment

In this GUI there are options for Windows Autopilot

The odd thing is that for the same customer I can configure Autopilot in two different places. Additionally, if I create a profile in one location, it does not propagate to the other. I can have two completely different profiles in each place.

How is it determined which is the profile that will be used for Autopilot if I have one in each place? Is one being phased out? Thanks for any information that you can provide.

Also, what would happen if we had a device from a completely different source than Ingram? Like we inherited a client that already had PC’s, and we wanted to onboard them with the Azure/InTune stack? Would we not be able to register
those devices? I don’t think Ingram would interested in taking requests for devices that they didn’t even sell.

Thank you.

Windows Autopilot with Symantec Endpoint encryption

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand that you want to use Autopilot to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10, without decrypting Symantec Endpoint encryption drive.

We would suggest you to refer the Symantec article on
How to upgrade computers encrypted with Symantec Endpoint Encryption to a Windows 10 release and see if that helps.

You may also want to refer the article on
Windows Autopilot for existing devices to know more about using Windows Autopilot.

However, as you are working on Windows Autopilot, let me point you in the right direction towards the appropriate forum better suited for Windows Autopilot. I would suggest you to post your query in
TechNet forums, where we have support
professionals to assist you with your query. I hope that you will find the resolution at the earliest.

Regards,

Introducing Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2

In addition to supporting the deployment and management of Windows 10 devices like laptops, tablets, and desktops, we are taking Windows Autopilot to uncharted territory by introducing the private preview of Windows Autopilot deployment for HoloLens 2!

Since Windows Autopilot was first introduced with Windows 10, version 1703, it has come a long way to enable organizations to deploy and manage their Windows 10 devices in significant less time and at noticeable cost savings. At its core, Windows Autopilot is a set of cloud technologies that offers greater efficiency and automation over traditional deployment and setup experiences.

As a critical component of Microsoft Endpoint Manager and our commitment to empowering IT, Windows Autopilot is designed to meet you where you are in your journey to simplified endpoint management and help you get where you want to be. We started with deployment scenarios for Azure AD then, in response to your feedback, Hybrid AD Join. In the spirit of innovation, we are working to support a broader range of devices with Windows Autopilot, starting with HoloLens 2.

Introducing Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2

Microsoft HoloLens 2 is an untethered holographic computer with apps and solutions that help people across organizations learn, work, communicate, and collaborate more effectively using mixed reality. HoloLens 2 devices are commercial-ready with support for Azure AD, mobile device management (MDM), kiosk mode, always-on BitLocker, Windows Update for Business, and Microsoft Store for Business.

As adoption of HoloLens 2 is increasing, medical and educational institutions have found that deploying these devices at scale is challenging, time-consuming, and costly. Imagine an IT admin putting a HoloLens 2 device, calibrating the device, then moving through all the decision-making steps, such as user id and password, to join the device to their tenant. Now repeat this process for every device they need to deploy in their organization.

Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2 with Microsoft Endpoint Manager solves this problem and delivers on the same promise of efficiency, simplified deployment, and streamlined device security and endpoint management as other Windows Autopilot deployment scenarios, driving significant cost and time savings for your organization.

How Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2 works

With the current private preview, Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2 support self-deploying mode with Azure AD only. That means the deployment process looks like this:

Join the device to Azure AD.

Enroll in Microsoft Endpoint Manager/Microsoft Intune (or another MDM service), leveraging Azure AD for automatic MDM enrollment to begin downloading all device targeted policies, user targeted applications, certificates, and networking profiles.

Land a shared device login state for the user with zero interaction.

Here is an illustration of Windows Autopilot self-deployment for HoloLens 2 devices:

The deployment scenarios currently supported with the private preview of Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2 are as follows:

Azure AD join

Self-deployment mode

MDM enrollment with polices, certificates, kiosk mode, etc. applied during deployment

Device name setup before Azure AD join

Preset keyboard language from list of HoloLens 2 supported languages

Windows Autopilot can be used with HoloLens 2 devices with Windows 10 build 19041.1002.200107-0909 or later, and an internet connection.

Registering a HoloLens 2 device with Windows Autopilot

In the coming months, HoloLens 2 devices will be shipped as "Windows Autopilot ready" and have a Windows product key ID (PKID) barcode printed on the outside of the box. This PKID will simplify Windows Autopilot device registration by allowing distributors and resellers to register HoloLens 2 devices with their customers' tenants without powering on the actual devices. To learn more about how this process works, see adding devices to Windows Autopilot.

HoloLens 2 hardware ID collection for Windows Autopilot

We have also simplified the process of collecting the hardware ID (also referred to as hardware hash) and diagnostic logs for HoloLens 2 devices. There is no need to run a PowerShell script to collect the hardware ID or diagnostic logs during setup. With HoloLens 2 devices, you can simply collect logs and hardware IDs by following these simple steps:

While the HoloLens 2 device is powered on, press and release the Power and Volume down buttons together to trigger the hardware ID and diagnostic log collection process.

Connect the HoloLens 2 device to a PC using a USB cable so that it shows up in File Explorer.

Browse to Internal Storage > Documents and extract AutopilotDiagnostics.zip. This file/folder will contain a CSV file with a a file name that begins “DeviceHash…”.

Getting started with the private preview of Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2

If you are interested in joining the private preview, here is the process:

Make sure your organization meets all requirements for Windows Autopilot and self-deploying mode, which include networking, licensing, and configuration requirements.

Enroll in the Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2 private preview program by visiting Microsoft Forms, or scanning this QR code:

We will send you confirmation when your tenant is accepted into the program.

Follow the instructions documented in this Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2 evaluation guide. If your organization is using Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Windows Autopilot, most steps will not be new to you, but this guide will take you the process step by step.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on the Windows Autopilot for HoloLens 2 private preview and thank you in advance for your interest and participation!
