# Azure AD Join for school PCs
> [!NOTE]
> Set up School PCs app uses Azure AD Join to configure PCs. The app is helpful if you use the cloud based directory, Azure Active Directory (AD). If your organization uses Active Directory or requires no account to connect, install and use [Windows Configuration
> Designer](set-up-students-pcs-to-join-domain.md) to
> join your PCs to your school's domain.
Set up School PCs lets you create a provisioning package that automates Azure AD
Join on your devices. This feature eliminates the need to manually:
- Connect to your school’s network.
- Join your organization's domain.
## Automated connection to school domain
During initial device setup, Azure AD Join automatically connects your PCs to your school's Azure AD domain. You can skip all of the Windows setup experience that is typically a part of the out-of-the-box-experience (OOBE). Devices that are managed by a mobile device manager, such as Intune, are automatically enrolled with the provider upon initial device startup.
Students who sign in to their PCs with their Azure AD credentials get access to on-premises apps and the following cloud apps:
* Office 365
* OneDrive
* OneNote.
## Enable Azure AD Join
Learn how to enable Azure AD Join for your school. After you configure this setting, you'll be able to request an automated Azure AD bulk token, which you need to create a provisioning package.
1. Sign in to the Azure portal with your organization's credentials.
2. Go to **Azure
Active Directory** \> **Devices** \> **Device settings**.
3. Enable the setting
for Azure AD by selecting **All** or **Selected**. If you choose the latter
option, select the teachers and IT staff to allow them to connect to Azure AD.
![Select the users you want to let join devices to Azure AD](images/suspc-enable-shared-pc-1807.png)
You can also create an account that holds the exclusive rights to join devices. When a student PC needs to be set up, provide the account credentials to the appropriate teachers or staff.
## All Device Settings
The following table describes each setting within **Device Settings**.
| Setting | Description |
|------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Users may join devices to Azure AD | Choose the scope of people in your organization that are allowed to join devices to Azure AD. **All** allows all users and groups within your tenant to join devices. **Selected** prompts you to choose specific users or groups to allow. **None** allows no one in your tenant to join devices to Azure AD. |
| Additional local administrators on Azure AD joined devices | Only applicable to Azure AD Premium tenants. Grant additional local administrator rights on devices, to selected users. Global administrators and the device owner are granted local administrator rights by default. |
| Users may register their devices with Azure AD | Allow all or none of your users to register their devices with Azure AD (Workplace Join). If you are enrolled in Microsoft Intune or Mobile Device Management for Office 365, your devices are required to be registered. In this case, **All** is automatically selected for you. |
| Require Multi-Factor Authentication to join devices | Recommended when adding devices to Azure AD. When set to **Yes**, users that are setting up devices must enter a second method of authentication. |
| Maximum number of devices per user | Set the maximum number of devices a user is allowed to have in Azure AD. If the maximum is exceeded, the user must remove one or more existing devices before additional ones are added. |
| Users may sync settings and enterprise app data | Allow all or none of your users to sync settings and app data across multiple devices. Tenants with Azure AD Premium are permitted to select specific users to allow. |
## Clear Azure AD tokens
---------------------
Your Intune tenant can only have 500 active Azure AD tokens, or packages, at a time. You'll receive a notification in the Intune portal when you reach 500 active tokens.
To reduce your inventory, clear out all unnecessary and inactive tokens.
1. Go to **Azure Active Directory** \> **Users** \> **All users**
2. In the **User Name** column, select and delete all accounts with a **package\_**
prefix. These accounts are created at a 1:1 ratio for every token and are safe
to delete.
3. Select and delete inactive and expired user accounts.
### How do I know if my package expired?
Automated Azure AD tokens expire after 30 days. The expiration date for each token is appended to the end of the saved provisioning package, on the USB drive. After this date, you must create a new package. Be careful that you don't delete active accounts.

# What's in my provisioning package?
The Set up School PCs app builds a specialized provisioning package with school-optimized settings.
A key feature of the provisioning package is Shared PC mode. To view the technical framework of Shared PC mode, including the description of each setting, see the [SharedPC configuration service provider (CSP)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt723294%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) article.
## Shared PC Mode policies
This table outlines the policies applied to devices in shared PC mode. If you [selected to optimize a device for use by a single student](set-up-school-pcs-shared-pc-mode.md#optimize-device-for-use-by-a-single-student), the table notes the differences. Specifically, you'll see differences in the following policies:
* Disk level deletion
* Inactive threshold
* Restrict local storage
In the table, *True* means that the setting is enabled, allowed, or applied. Use the **Description** column to help you understand the context for each setting.
For a more detailed look at the policies, see the Windows article [Set up shared or guest PC](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/set-up-shared-or-guest-pc#policies-set-by-shared-pc-mode).
|Policy name |Default value |Description |
|---------|---------|---------|,
|Enable Shared PC mode|True| Configures the PCs so they are in shared PC mode.|
|Set education policies | True | School-optimized settings are applied to the PCs so that they are appropriate for an educational environment. To see all recommended and enabled policies, see [Windows 10 configuration recommendation for education customers](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/education/windows/configure-windows-for-education). |
|Account Model| Only guest, Domain-joined only, or Domain-joined and guest |Controls how users can sign in on the PC. Configurable from the Set up School PCs app. Choosing domain-joined will enable any user in the domain to sign in. Specifying the guest option will add the Guest option to the sign-in screen and enable anonymous guest access to the PC. |
|Deletion policy | Delete at disk space threshold and inactive threshold | Delete at disk space threshold will start deleting accounts when available disk space falls below the threshold you set for disk level deletion. It will stop deleting accounts when the available disk space reaches the threshold you set for disk level caching. Accounts are deleted in order of oldest accessed to most recently accessed. Also deletes accounts if they have not signed in within the number of days specified by inactive threshold policy. |
|Disk level caching | 50% | Sets 50% of total disk space to be used as the disk space threshold for account caching. |
|Disk level deletion | For shared device setup, 25%; for single device-student setup, 0%. | When your devices are optimized for shared use across multiple PCs, this policy sets 25% of total disk space to be used as the disk space threshold for account caching. When your devices are optimized for use by a single student, this policy sets the value to 0% and does not delete accounts. |
|Enable account manager | True | Enables automatic account management. |
|Inactive threshold| For shared device setup, 30 days; for single device-student setup, 180 days.| After 30 or 180 days, respectively, if an account has not signed in, it will be deleted.
|Kiosk Mode AMUID | Microsoft.Windows.SecureAssessmentBrowser_cw5n1h2txyewy!App | Configures the kiosk account on student devices to only run the Take a Test secure assessment browser. |
|Kiosk Mode User Tile Display Text | Take a Test | Displays "Take a Test" as the name of the kiosk account on student devices. |
|Restrict local storage | For shared device setup, True; for single device-student setup, False. | When devices are optimized for shared use across multiple PCs, this policy forces students to save to the cloud to prevent data loss. When your devices are optimized for use by a single student, this policy does not prevent students from saving on the PCs local hard drive. |
|Maintenance start time | 0 - midnight | The maintenance start time when automatic maintenance tasks, such as Windows Update, run on student devices. |
|Max page file size in MB| 1024| Sets the maximum size of the paging file to 1024 MB. Applies only to systems with less than 32-GB storage and at least 3 GB of RAM.|
|Set power policies | True | Prevents users from changing power settings and turns off hibernate. Also overrides all power state transitions to sleep, such as lid close. |
|Sign in on resume | True | Requires the device user to sign in with a password when the PC wakes from sleep. |
|Sleep timeout | 3600 seconds | Specifies the maximum idle time before the PC should sleep. If you don't set sleep timeout, the default time, 3600 seconds (1 hour), is applied. |
## MDM and local group policies
This section lists only the local group policies configured uniquely for the Set up School PCs app.
For a more detailed look of each policy listed, see [Policy CSP](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider) in the Windows IT Pro Center documentation.

# Shared PC mode for school devices
Shared PC mode optimizes Windows 10 for shared use scenarios, such as classrooms and school libraries. A Windows 10 PC in shared PC mode requires minimal to zero maintenance and management. Update settings are optimized for classroom settings, so that they automatically occur outside of school hours.
Shared PC mode can be applied to Windows 10 Pro, Pro Education, Education, and Enterprise. For more information about setting up your device in shared PC mode, see [Set up a shared or guest PC with Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/set-up-shared-or-guest-pc).
## Windows Updates
Shared PC mode configures power and Windows Update settings so that computers update regularly. Computers that are set up through the Set up School PCs app are configured to:
* Wake nightly.
* Check for and install updates.
* Forcibly reboot, when necessary, to complete updates.
These configurations reduce the need to update and reboot computers during daytime work hours. Notifications about needed updates are also blocked from disrupting students.
## Default admin accounts in Azure Active Directory
By default, the account that joins your computer to Azure AD will be given admin permissions on the computer. Global administrators in the joined Azure AD domain will also have admin permissions when signed in to the joined computer.
An Azure AD Premium subscription lets you specify the accounts that get admin accounts on a computer. These accounts are configured in Intune in the Azure portal.
## Account deletion policies
This section describes the deletion behavior for the accounts configured in shared PC mode. A delete policy makes sure that outdated or stale accounts are regularly removed to make room for new accounts.
### Azure AD accounts
The default deletion policy is set to automatically cache accounts. Cached accounts are automatically deleted when disk space gets too low, or when there's an extended period of inactivity. Accounts continue to delete until the computer reclaims sufficient disk space. Deletion policies behave the same for Azure AD and Active Directory domain accounts.
### Guest and Kiosk accounts
Guest accounts and accounts created through Kiosk are deleted after they sign out of their account.
### Local accounts
Local accounts that you created before enabling shared PC mode aren't deleted.
Local accounts that you create through **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Other people** > **Add someone else to this PC** after enabling PC mode are not deleted.
## Create custom Windows images
Shared PC mode is compatible with custom Windows images.
To create a compatible image, first create your custom Windows image with all software, updates, and drivers. Then use the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool with the `/oobe` flag to create the SharedPC-compatible version. For example, `sysrep/oobe`.
Teachers can then run the Set up School PCs package on the computer.
## Optimize device for use by a single student
Shared PC mode is enabled by default. This mode optimizes device settings for schools where PCs are shared by students. The Set up School PCs app also offers the option to configure settings for devices that aren't shared.
If you select this setting, the app modifies shared PC mode so that it's appropriate for a single device. To see how the settings differ, refer to the Shared PC mode policy table in the article [What's in my provisioning package?](set-up-school-pcs-provisioning-package.md)
1. In the app, go to the **Create package** > **Settings** step.
2. Select **Optimize device for a single student, instead of a shared cart or lab**.

| Feature | No Internet | Azure AD | Office 365 | Azure AD Premium |
| --- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| **Fast sign-in**<br/>Each student can sign in and start using the computer in less than a minute, even on their first sign-in. | X | X | X | X |
| **Custom Start experience**<br/>The apps students need are pinned to Start, and unnecessary apps are removed. | X | X | X | X |
| **Guest account, no sign-in required**<br/>This option sets up computers for common use. Anyone can use the computer without an account. | X | X | X | X |
| **School policies**<br/>Settings specific to education create a useful learning environment and the best computer performance. | X | X | X | X |
| **Azure AD Join**<br/>The computers are joined to your Azure AD or Office 365 subscription for centralized management. | | X | X | X |
| **Single sign-on to Office 365**<br/>By signing on with student IDs, students have fast access to Office 365 web apps or installed Office apps. | | | X | X |

> [!NOTE]
> If your school uses Active Directory, use [Windows Configuration Designer](set-up-students-pcs-to-join-domain.md) to configure your PCs to join the domain. You can only use the Set up School PCs app to set up PCs that are connected to Azure AD.
## Automated Azure AD join
One of the most important features in Set up School PCs is the ability to create a provisioning package that performs automated Azure AD join. With this feature, you no longer have to spend minutes going through Windows setup, manually connecting to a network, and manually joining your Azure AD domain. With the automated Azure AD join feature in Set up School PCs, this process is reduced to zero clicks! You can skip all of the Windows setup experience and the OS automatically joins the PC to your Azure AD domain and enrolls it into MDM if you have a MDM provider activated.
To make this as seamless as possible, in your Azure AD tenant:
- Allow your teacher and other IT staff to join devices to Azure AD so they can sucessfully request an automated Azure AD join token.
In the Azure portal, select **Azure Active Directory**. Go to **Users and groups > Device Settings** and in **Users may join devices to Azure AD**, click **Selected** and choose the members you want to enable to join devices to Azure AD.
**Figure 1** - Select the users you want to enable to join devices to Azure AD
![Select the users you want to enable to join devices to Azure AD](images/azuread_usersandgroups_devicesettings_usersmayjoin.png)
- Consider creating a special account that uses a username and password that you provide, and which has the rights to join devices if you don't want to add all teachers and IT staff.
- When teachers or IT staff need to set up PCs, they can use this account in the Set up School PCs app.
- If you use a service to set up PCs for you, you can give them this special account so they can deliver PCs to you that are already Azure AD joined and ready to be given to a student.
- Turn off multifactor authentication.
In the Azure portal, select **Azure Active Directory**. Go to **Users and groups > Device Settings** and set **Require Multi-Factor Auth to join devices** to **No**.
**Figure 2** - Turn off multi-factor authentication in Azure AD
![Turn off multi-factor authentication in Azure AD](images/azuread_usersandgroups_devicesettings_requiremultifactorauth.png)
- Set the maximum number of devices a user can add to unlimited.
In the Azure portal, select **Azure Active Directory**. Go to **Users and groups > Device Settings** and set **Maximum number of devices per user** to **Unlimited**.
**Figure 3** - Set maximum number of devices per user to unlimited
![Set maximum number of devices per user to unlimited](images/azuread_usersandgroups_devicesettings_maxnumberofdevicesperuser.png)
- Clear your Azure AD tokens from time to time. Your tenant can only have 500 automated Azure AD tokens active at any one time.
In the Azure portal, select **Azure Active Directory**. Go to **Users and groups > All users** and look at the list of user names. User names that start with **package_** followed by a string of letters and numbers. These are the user accounts that are created automatically for the tokens and you can safely delete these.
**Figure 4** - Delete the accounts automatically created for the Azure AD tokens
![Delete the accounts automatically created for the Azure AD tokens](images/azuread_usersandgroups_allusers_automaticaccounts.png)
- Note that automated Azure AD tokens have expiration dates. Set up School PCs creates them with an expiration date of one month. You will see the specific expiration date for the package in the **Review package summary** page in Set up School PCs.

## Information about Windows Update
Shared PC mode helps ensure that computers are always up-to-date. If a PC is configured using the Set up School PCs app, shared PC mode sets the power states and Windows Update to:
* Wake nightly
* Check and install updates
* Forcibly reboot if necessary to finish applying updates
The PC is also configured to not interrupt the user during normal daytime hours with updates or reboots. Notfications are also blocked.
## Guidance for accounts on shared PCs
* We recommend no local admin accounts on the PC to improve the reliability and security of the PC.
* When a PC is set up in shared PC mode with the default deletion policy, accounts will be cached automatically until disk space is low. Then, accounts will be deleted to reclaim disk space. This account management happens automatically. Both Azure AD and Active Directory domain accounts are managed in this way. Any accounts created through **Guest** or **Kiosk** will also be deleted automatically at sign out.
* On a Windows PC joined to Azure Active Directory:
* By default, the account that joined the PC to Azure AD will have an admin account on that PC. Global administrators for the Azure AD domain will also have admin accounts on the PC.
* With Azure AD Premium, you can specify which accounts have admin accounts on a PC using the **Additional administrators on Azure AD Joined devices** setting on the Azure portal.
* Local accounts that already exist on a PC won’t be deleted when turning on shared PC mode. New local accounts created through **Settings > Accounts > Other people > Add someone else to this PC** after shared PC mode is turned on won't be deleted. However, any new local accounts created by the **Guest** or **Kiosk** selection on the sign-in screen, if enabled, will automatically be deleted at sign-out.
* If admin accounts are necessary on the PC
* Ensure the PC is joined to a domain that enables accounts to be signed on as admin, or
* Create admin accounts before setting up shared PC mode, or
* Create exempt accounts before signing out.
* The account management service supports accounts that are exempt from deletion.
* An account can be marked exempt from deletion by adding the account SID to the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedPC\Exemptions\` registry key.
* To add the account SID to the registry key using PowerShell:
```
$adminName = "LocalAdmin"
$adminPass = 'Pa$$word123'
iex "net user /add $adminName $adminPass"
$user = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount($adminName)
$sid = $user.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$sid = $sid.Value;
New-Item -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedPC\Exemptions\$sid" -Force
```
## Custom images
Shared PC mode is fully compatible with custom images that may be created by IT departments. Create a custom image and then use sysprep with the `/oobe` flag to create an image that teachers can then apply the Set up School PCs provisioning package to. [Learn more about sysprep](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721940(v=ws.10).aspx).
## Provisioning package details
The Set up School PCs app produces a specialized provisioning package that makes use of the [SharedPC configuration service provider (CSP)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt723294%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).
### Education customizations set by local MDM policy
- By default, saving content locally to the PC is blocked, but you can choose to enable it. This prevents data loss by forcing students to save to the cloud.
- A custom Start layout, taskbar layout, and lock screen image are set.
- Prohibits unlocking the PC to developer mode.
- Prohibits untrusted Microsoft Store apps from being installed.
- Prohibits students from removing MDM.
- Prohibits students from adding new provisioning packages.
- Prohibits student from removing existing provisioning packages (including the one set by Set up School PCs).
- Sets Windows Update to update nightly.
### Uninstalled apps
- 3D Builder (Microsoft.3DBuilder_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Weather (Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Tips (Microsoft.Getstarted_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Get Office (Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Microsoft Solitaire Collection (Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Paid Wi-Fi & Cellular (Microsoft.OneConnect_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Feedback Hub (Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Xbox (Microsoft.XboxApp_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
- Mail/Calendar (microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe)
### Local Group Policies
> [!IMPORTANT]
> We do not recommend setting additional policies on PCs configured with the Set up School PCs app. The shared PC mode is optimized to be fast and reliable over time with minimal to no manual maintenance required.

- Windows 10 - Windows 10
IT administrators and technical teachers can use the **Set up School PCs** app to quickly set up PCs for students. A student PC set up using the app is tailored to provide students with the tools they need for learning while removing apps and features that they don't need. IT administrators and technical teachers can use the **Set up School PCs** app to quickly set up PCs for students. The app configures PCs with the apps and features students need, and it removes the ones they don't need. Set up School PCs also:
* Joins each student PC to your organization's Office 365 and Azure Active Directory tenant.
* Enrolls each student PC into a mobile device management (MDM) provider, such as Intune for Education, if licensed in your tenant. You can manage all the settings Set up School PCs configures through the MDM.
* Enables the optional Autopilot Reset feature, to return devices to a fully configured or known IT-approved state.
* Keeps student PCs up-to-date without interfering with class time using Windows Update and maintenance hours.
* Locks down the student PC to prevent activity that isn't beneficial to their education.
## What does this app do? This article describes how to get started and provide information about your school in the Set up School PCs app.
Set up School PCs makes it easy to set up Windows 10 PCs with Microsoft's recommended education settings, using a quick USB setup. This app guides you through the creation of a student PC provisioning package and helps you save it to a USB drive. From there, just plug the USB drive into student PCs running Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703). It automatically: To learn more about the app's functionality, start with the [Technical reference for the Set up School PCs app](set-up-school-pcs-technical.md).
- Joins each student PC to your organization's Office 365 and Azure Active Directory tenant

* Student PCs must either:
* Be within range of the Wi-Fi network that you configured in the app.
* Have a wired Ethernet connection when you set them up.
You can watch the descriptive audio version here: [Microsoft Education: Use the Set up School PCs app (DA)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqe_T2LkGsI) ### Configure USB drive for additional space
USB drives are, by default, FAT32-formatted, and are unable to save more than 4 GB of data. If you plan to install several apps, or large apps like Microsoft Office, you'll need more space. To create more space on the USB drive, reformat it to NTFS.
1. Insert the USB drive into your computer.
2. Go to the **Start** > **This PC**.
3. In the **Devices and drives** section, find your USB drive. Right-click to see its options.
4. Select **Format** from the list to bring up the **Format *DRIVE NAME*** window.
5. Set **File system** to **NTFS**.
6. Click **Start** to format the drive.
## Tips for success ### Prepare existing PC account for new setup
Apply new packages to factory reset or new PCs. If you apply it to a PC that's already set up, you may lose the accounts and data.
* **Run the same Windows 10 build on the admin device and the student PCs** If a PC has already been set up, and you want to apply a new package, reset the PC to a clean state.
It's critical that the IT administrator's or technical teacher's device is running the same Windows 10 build as the student PCs that you're provisioning. To begin, go to the **Settings** app on the appropriate PC.
1. Click **Update & Security** > **Recovery**.
2. In the **Reset this PC** section, click **Get started**.
3. Click **Remove everything**.
* **Ensure that the student PCs meet the minimum OS requirements for the version of Set up School PCs** As another option, go to **Start** > **Power** icon. Hold down the Shift key and click **Restart** to load the Windows boot user experience. From there, follow these steps:
1. Click **Troubleshoot** and then choose **Reset this PC**.
2. Select **Remove everything**.
3. If the option appears, select **Only the drive where Windows is installed**.
4. Click **Just remove my files**.
5. Click **Reset**.
Check the minimum OS requirements for the Set up School PCs app in the **System Requirements > OS** section of the app's description on the Microsoft Store. For example, the latest version of Set up School PCs requires Windows 10 versions with build 15063.0 or higher. Do not use the app to provision student PCs with Windows 10, version 1607 (build 14393) images. ## Recommendations
This section offers recommendations to help you have the best setup experience.
We recommend using the latest Set up School PCs app along with the latest Windows 10 images on the student PCs that you're provisioning. ### Run the same Windows 10 build on the admin device and the student PCs
We recommend you run the IT administrator or technical teacher's device on the same Windows 10 build as the student PCs.
* **Run the app at work** ### Student PCs should meet OS requirements for the app
Check the minimum OS requirements in the Set up School PCs app. We recommend using the latest Set up School PCs app along with the latest Windows 10 images on the student PCs.
For the best results, run the Set up School PCs app on your work device connected to your school's network. That way the app can gather accurate information about your wireless networks and cloud subscriptions. To check the app's OS requirements, go to the Microsoft Store and locate the Set up School PCs app. In the app's description, go to **System Requirements > OS**.
> [!NOTE] ### Use app on a PC that is connected to your school's network
> Don't use the **Set up Schools PCs** app for PCs that must connect to enterprise networks or to open Wi-Fi networks that require the user to accept Terms of Use. We recommend that you run the Set up School PCs app on a computer that's connected to your school's network. That way the app can gather accurate information about your school's wireless networks and cloud subscriptions. If it's not connected, you'll need to enter the information manually.
* **Network tips** > [!NOTE]
* You cannot use Set up School PCs over a certification-based network, or one where you have to enter credentials in a browser. You can only connect to an open network, or one with a basic password. > Don't use the **Set up Schools PCs** app for PCs that must connect to:
* If you need to set up a lot of devices over Wi-Fi, make sure that your network configuration can support it. >* Enterprise networks that require the user to accept Terms of Use.
- We recommend configuring your DHCP so at least 200 IP addresses are available for the devices you are setting up. Configure your IP addresses to expire after a short time (about 30 minutes). This ensures that you can set up many devices simultaneously, and IP addresses will free up quickly so you can continue to set up devices without hitting network issues. >* Open Wi-Fi networks that require the user to accept Terms of Use.
* **Apply to new student PCs** ### Run app on an open network or network that requires a basic password
* The provisioning package that the Set up School PCs app creates should be used on new PCs that haven't been set up for accounts yet. If you apply the provisioning package to a student PC that has already been set up, existing accounts and data might be lost. Don't use Set up School PCs over a certification-based network, or one where you have to enter credentials in a browser. If you need to set up numerous devices over Wi-Fi, make sure that your network configuration can support it.
> [!WARNING]
> Only use the provisioning package on PCs that you want to configure and lock down for students. After you apply the provisioning package to a student PC, the PC must be reset to remove the settings.
* The student PCs must be in range of the Wi-Fi network that you configured in Set up School PCs or have a wired Ethernet connection when you set them up. Otherwise, setup will fail. We recommend that you:
* If the PC has already been set up and you want to return to the first-run experience to apply a new package, you can reset the PC to get to a clean state and get it back to the first-run experience and ready to provision again. * Configure your DHCP so at least 200 IP addresses are available for your devices. Having available IP addresses will allow you to set up many devices simultaneously.
* Configure your IP addresses to expire after a short time--about 30 minutes. IP addresses will free up quickly so you can continue to set up devices without network issues.
> [!WARNING]
> Only use the provisioning package on PCs that you want to configure and lock down for students. After you apply the provisioning package to a student PC, the PC must be reset to remove the settings.
To do this: ### Use an additional USB drive
- Go to **Settings > Update & security > Recovery**. In the **Reset this PC** section of the **Recovery** page, click **Get started**. You can set up PCs at the same time. Just save the provisioning package to an additional USB drive. Then plug them in at the same time during deployment.
- Or, hit **Shift** + click **Restart** in the **Power** menu to load the Windows boot user experience. From there, follow these steps:

* **Use an NTFS-formatted USB key** ### Limit changes to school-optimized settings
If you're planning to install several apps, the Set up School PCs package may exceed 4 GB. Check if your USB drive format is FAT32. If it is, you won't be able to save more than 4 GB of data on the drive. To work around this, reformat the USB drive to use the NTFS format. To do this: We strongly recommend that you avoid changing preset policies. Changes can slow down setup, performance, and sign-in time.
1. Insert the USB key into your computer. ## Create the provisioning package
2. Go to the Start menu and type **This PC** and then select the **This PC (Desktop app)** from the search results.
3. In the **Devices and drivers** section, find the USB drive, select and then right-click to bring up options.
4. Select **Format** from the list to bring up the **Format <DRIVE NAME>** window.
5. Set **File system** to **NTFS** and then click **Start** to format the drive.
* **Use more than one USB key**
If you are setting up multiple PCs, you can set them up at the same time. Just save the provisioning package to another USB drive. Create two keys and you can run it on two PCs at once, and so on.
* **Keep it clean**
We strongly recommend that IT avoid changes to policies unless absolutely necessary, as any changes can impair performance and sign-in time. Get more information at [Set up School PCs app technical reference](set-up-school-pcs-technical.md).
