Challenge
The organisation relied on manually configuring Windows devices before handing them to users, resulting in inconsistent configurations, lengthy deployment times and increased IT overhead. A modern provisioning process was required to automatically configure devices with corporate applications, security policies and organisational settings immediately after the user signed in.
Approach
I designed and implemented a Windows Autopilot deployment integrated with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID. The implementation included configuring Autopilot deployment profiles, importing and registering hardware hashes, creating dynamic device groups, configuring Intune enrolment policies, deploying security baselines and compliance policies, assigning device configuration profiles, automating Microsoft 365 and business application deployment, testing the Out-of-Box Experience from factory-reset devices, troubleshooting profile assignment and enrolment issues, and validating successful registration, policy application and application installation.
Outcome
The completed deployment transformed the device onboarding process into a scalable, zero-touch provisioning workflow. New Windows devices can now be delivered directly to end users and automatically enrolled into Microsoft Intune, configured with required applications and policies, and secured during the first sign-in experience. This reduced setup time, improved consistency and simplified ongoing device lifecycle management.
