# Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP Overview
Windows 10 Enterprise E3 launched in the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) channel on September 1, 2016. Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP is a new offering that delivers, by subscription, exclusive features reserved for Windows 10 Enterprise edition. This offering is available through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) channel via the Partner Center as an online service. Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP provides a flexible, per-user subscription for small- and medium-sized organizations (from one to hundreds of users). To take advantage of this offering, you must have the following:
- Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 (also known as Windows 10 Anniversary Update) or later installed on the devices to be upgraded
- Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) available for identity management
Starting with Windows 10, version 1607 (Windows 10 Anniversary Update), you can move from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise more easily than ever before—no keys and no reboots. After one of your users enters the Azure AD credentials associated with a Windows 10 Enterprise E3 license, the operating system turns from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise and all the appropriate Windows 10 Enterprise features are unlocked. When a subscription license expires or is transferred to another user, the Windows 10 Enterprise device seamlessly steps back down to Windows 10 Pro.
Previously, only organizations with a Microsoft Volume Licensing Agreement could deploy Windows 10 Enterprise to their users. Now, with Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP, small- and medium-sized organizations can more easily take advantage of Windows 10 Enterprise features.
When you purchase Windows 10 Enterprise E3 via a partner, you get the following benefits:
- **Windows 10 Enterprise edition**. Devices currently running Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 can get Windows 10 Enterprise Current Branch (CB) or Current Branch for Business (CBB). This benefit does not include Long Term Service Branch (LTSB).
- **Support from one to hundreds of users**. Although the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP program does not have a limitation on the number of licenses an organization can have, the program is designed for small- and medium-sized organizations.
- **Deploy on up to five devices**. For each user covered by the license, you can deploy Windows 10 Enterprise edition on up to five devices.
- **Roll back to Windows 10 Pro at any time**. When a users subscription expires or is transferred to another user, the Windows 10 Enterprise device reverts seamlessly to Windows 10 Pro edition (after a grace period of up to 90 days).
- **Monthly, per-user pricing model**. This makes Windows 10 Enterprise E3 affordable for any organization.
- **Move licenses between users**. Licenses can be quickly and easily reallocated from one user to another user, allowing you to optimize your licensing investment against changing needs.
How does the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP program compare with Microsoft Volume Licensing Agreements and Software Assurance?
- [Microsoft Volume Licensing](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/default.aspx) programs are broader in scope, providing organizations with access to licensing for all Microsoft products.
- [Software Assurance](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/licensing-programs/software-assurance-default.aspx) provides organizations with the following categories of benefits:
- **Deployment and management**. These benefits include planning services, Microsoft Desktop Optimization (MDOP), Windows Virtual Desktop Access Rights, Windows-To-Go Rights, Windows Roaming Use Rights, Windows Thin PC, Windows RT Companion VDA Rights, and other benefits.
- **Training**. These benefits include training vouchers, online e-learning, and a home use program.
- **Support**. These benefits include 24x7 problem resolution support, backup capabilities for disaster recovery, System Center Global Service Monitor, and a passive secondary instance of SQL Server.
- **Specialized**. These benefits include step-up licensing availability (which enables you to migrate software from an earlier edition to a higher-level edition) and to spread license and Software Assurance payments across three equal, annual sums.
In addition, in Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP, a partner can manage your licenses for you. With Software Assurance, you, the customer, manage your own licenses.
In summary, the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP program is an upgrade offering that provides small- and medium-sized organizations easier, more flexible access to the benefits of Windows 10 Enterprise edition, whereas Microsoft Volume Licensing programs and Software Assurance are broader in scope and provide benefits beyond access to Windows 10 Enterprise edition.

## Preparing for deployment of Windows 10 Enterprise E3 licenses
You probably have on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domains. Users will use their domain-based credentials to sign in to the AD DS domain. Before you start deploying Windows 10 Enterprise E3 licenses to users, you need to synchronize the identities in the on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD.
You might ask why you need to synchronize these identities. The answer is so that users will have a *single identity* that they can use to access their on-premises apps and cloud services that use Azure AD (such as Windows 10 Enterprise E3). This means that users can use their existing credentials to sign in to Azure AD and access the cloud services that you provide and manage for them.
**Figure 1** illustrates the integration between the on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD. [Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=47594) (Azure AD Connect) is responsible for synchronization of identities between the on-premises AD DS domain and Azure AD. Azure AD Connect is a service that you can install on-premises or in a virtual machine in Azure.
![Illustration of Azure Active Directory Connect](images/enterprise-e3-ad-connect.png)
**Figure 1. On-premises AD DS integrated with Azure AD**
For more information about integrating on-premises AD DS domains with Azure AD, see the following resources:
- [Integrating your on-premises identities with Azure Active Directory](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-aadconnect/)
- [Azure AD + Domain Join + Windows 10](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2016/02/17/azure-ad-domain-join-windows-10/)
### Preparing for deployment: reviewing requirements
Devices must be running Windows 10 Pro, version 1607, and be Azure Active Directory joined, or domain joined with Azure AD Connect. Customers who are federated with Azure Active Directory are also eligible. For more information, see [Review requirements on devices](#review-requirements-on-devices), later in this topic.
<!-- Watch the preceding link if you divide this into multiple topics. -->
## Explore the upgrade experience
Now that your subscription has been established (by the partner who you work with) and Windows 10 Enterprise E3 licenses have been assigned to users, the users are ready to upgrade their devices running Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 edition to Windows 10 Enterprise edition. So what will the users experience? How will they upgrade their devices?
### Step 1: Join users devices to Azure AD
Users can join a device to Azure AD the first time they start the device (during setup), or they can join a device that they already use running Windows 10 Pro, version 1607.
**To join a device to Azure AD the first time the device is started**
1. During the initial setup, on the **Who owns this PC?** page, select **My organization**, and then click **Next**, as illustrated in **Figure 2**.
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-who-owns.png" alt="Who owns this PC? page in Windows 10 setup" width="624" height="351" />
**Figure 2. The “Who owns this PC?” page in initial Windows 10 setup**
2. On the **Choose how youll connect** page, select **Join Azure AD**, and then click **Next**, as illustrated in **Figure 3**.
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-choose-how.png" alt="Choose how you'll connect - page in Windows 10 setup" width="624" height="351" />
**Figure 3. The “Choose how youll connect” page in initial Windows 10 setup**
3. On the **Lets get you signed in** page, enter the Azure AD credentials, and then click **Sign in**, as illustrated in **Figure 4**.
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-lets-get.png" alt="Let's get you signed in - page in Windows 10 setup" width="624" height="351" />
**Figure 4. The “Lets get you signed in” page in initial Windows 10 setup**
Now the device is Azure AD joined to the companys subscription.
**To join a device to Azure AD when the device already has Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 installed and set up**
1. Go to **Settings &gt; Accounts &gt; Access work or school**, as illustrated in **Figure 5**.
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-connect-to-work-or-school.png" alt="Connect to work or school configuration" width="624" height="482" />
**Figure 5. Connect to work or school configuration in Settings**
2. In **Set up a work or school account**, click **Join this device to Azure Active Directory**, as illustrated in **Figure 6**.
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-set-up-work-or-school.png" alt="Set up a work or school account" width="624" height="603" />
**Figure 6. Set up a work or school account**
3. On the **Lets get you signed in** page, enter the Azure AD credentials, and then click **Sign in**, as illustrated in **Figure 7**.
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-lets-get-2.png" alt="Let's get you signed in - dialog box" width="624" height="603" />
**Figure 7. The “Lets get you signed in” dialog box**
Now the device is Azure AD joined to the companys subscription.
### Step 2: Sign in using Azure AD account
Once the device is joined to your Azure AD subscription, the user will sign in by using his or her Azure AD account, as illustrated in **Figure 8**. The Windows 10 Enterprise E3 license associated with the user will enable Windows 10 Enterprise edition capabilities on the device.
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-sign-in.png" alt="Sign in, Windows 10" width="624" height="351" />
**Figure 8. Sign in by using Azure AD account**
### Step 3: Verify that Enterprise edition is enabled
You can verify the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription in **Settings &gt; Update & Security &gt; Activation**, as illustrated in **Figure 9**.
<span id="win-10-activated-subscription-active"/>
#### Figure 9 - Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription in Settings
<img src="images/enterprise-e3-win-10-activated-enterprise-subscription-active.png" alt="Windows 10 activated and subscription active" width="624" height="407" />
If there are any problems with the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 license or the activation of the license, the **Activation** panel will display the appropriate error message or status. You can use this information to help you diagnose the licensing and activation process.
## Troubleshoot the user experience
In some instances, users may experience problems with the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription. The most common problems that users may experience are as follows:
- The existing Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 operating system is not activated.
- The Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription has lapsed or has been removed.
Use the following figures to help you troubleshoot when users experience these common problems:
- [Figure 9](#win-10-activated-subscription-active) illustrates a device in a healthy state, where Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 is activated and the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription is active.
- [Figure 10](#win-10-not-activated) illustrates a device on which Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 is not activated, but the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription is active.
- [Figure 11](#subscription-not-active) illustrates a device on which Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 is activated, but the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription is lapsed or removed.
- [Figure 12](#win-10-not-activated-subscription-not-active) illustrates a device on which Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 license is not activated and the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 subscription is lapsed or removed.

### Review requirements on devices
Devices must be running Windows 10 Pro, version 1607, and be Azure Active Directory joined, or domain joined with Azure AD Connect. Customers who are federated with Azure Active Directory are also eligible. You can use the following procedures to review whether a particular device meets requirements.
**To determine if a device is Azure Active Directory joined:**
1. Open a command prompt and type **dsregcmd /status**.
2. Review the output under Device State. If the **AzureAdJoined** status is YES, the device is Azure Active Directory joined.
**To determine the version of Windows 10:**
- At a command prompt, type:
**winver**
A popup window will display the Windows 10 version number and detailed OS build information.
If a device is running a previous version of Windows 10 Pro (for example, version 1511), it will not be upgraded to Windows 10 Enterprise when a user signs in, even if the user has been assigned a subscription in the CSP portal.
## Deploy Windows 10 Enterprise features
Now that you have Windows 10 Enterprise edition running on devices, how do you take advantage of the Enterprise edition features and capabilities? What are the next steps that need to be taken for each of the features discussed in [Table 1](#compare-windows-10-pro-and-enterprise-editions)?
The following sections provide you with the high-level tasks that need to be performed in your environment to help users take advantage of the Windows 10 Enterprise edition features.
### Credential Guard\*
You can implement Credential Guard on Windows 10 Enterprise devices by turning on Credential Guard on these devices. Credential Guard uses Windows 10 virtualization-based security features (Hyper-V features) that must be enabled on each device before you can turn on Credential Guard. You can turn on Credential Guard by using one of the following methods:
- **Automated**. You can automatically turn on Credential Guard for one or more devices by using Group Policy. The Group Policy settings automatically add the virtualization-based security features and configure the Credential Guard registry settings on managed devices.
- **Manual**. You can manually turn on Credential Guard by doing the following:
- Add the virtualization-based security features by using Programs and Features or Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM).
- Configure Credential Guard registry settings by using the Registry Editor or the [Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool](http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=53337).
You can automate these manual steps by using a management tool such as System Center Configuration Manager.
For more information about implementing Credential Guard, see the following resources:
- [Protect derived domain credentials with Credential Guard](http://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/keep-secure/credential-guard)
- [PC OEM requirements for Device Guard and Credential Guard](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/mt767514(v=vs.85).aspx)
- [Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool](http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=53337)
\* *Requires UEFI 2.3.1 or greater with Trusted Boot; Virtualization Extensions such as Intel VT-x, AMD-V, and SLAT must be enabled; x64 version of Windows; IOMMU, such as Intel VT-d, AMD-Vi; BIOS Lockdown; TPM 2.0 recommended for device health attestation (will use software if TPM 2.0 not present)*
### Device Guard
Now that the devices have Windows 10 Enterprise, you can implement Device Guard on the Windows 10 Enterprise devices by performing the following steps:
1. **Optionally, create a signing certificate for code integrity policies**. As you deploy code integrity policies, you might need to sign catalog files or code integrity policies internally. To do this, you will either need a publicly issued code signing certificate (that you purchase) or an internal certificate authority (CA). If you choose to use an internal CA, you will need to create a code signing certificate.
2. **Create code integrity policies from “golden” computers**. When you have identified departments or roles that use distinctive or partly distinctive sets of hardware and software, you can set up “golden” computers containing that software and hardware. In this respect, creating and managing code integrity policies to align with the needs of roles or departments can be similar to managing corporate images. From each “golden” computer, you can create a code integrity policy and decide how to manage that policy. You can merge code integrity policies to create a broader policy or a master policy, or you can manage and deploy each policy individually.
3. **Audit the code integrity policy and capture information about applications that are outside the policy**. We recommend that you use “audit mode” to carefully test each code integrity policy before you enforce it. With audit mode, no application is blocked—the policy just logs an event whenever an application outside the policy is started. Later, you can expand the policy to allow these applications, as needed.
4. **Create a “catalog file” for unsigned line-of-business (LOB) applications**. Use the Package Inspector tool to create and sign a catalog file for your unsigned LOB applications. In later steps, you can merge the catalog file's signature into your code integrity policy so that applications in the catalog will be allowed by the policy.
5. **Capture needed policy information from the event log, and merge information into the existing policy as needed**. After a code integrity policy has been running for a time in audit mode, the event log will contain information about applications that are outside the policy. To expand the policy so that it allows for these applications, use Windows PowerShell commands to capture the needed policy information from the event log, and then merge that information into the existing policy. You can merge code integrity policies from other sources also, for flexibility in how you create your final code integrity policies.
6. **Deploy code integrity policies and catalog files**. After you confirm that you have completed all the preceding steps, you can begin deploying catalog files and taking code integrity policies out of audit mode. We strongly recommend that you begin this process with a test group of users. This provides a final quality-control validation before you deploy the catalog files and code integrity policies more broadly.
7. **Enable desired hardware security features**. Hardware-based security features—also called virtualization-based security (VBS) features—strengthen the protections offered by code integrity policies.

- [Planning and getting started on the Device Guard deployment process](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/keep-secure/planning-and-getting-started-on-the-device-guard-deployment-process)
- [Device Guard deployment guide](http://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/keep-secure/device-guard-deployment-guide)
### AppLocker management
You can manage AppLocker in Windows 10 Enterprise by using Group Policy. Group Policy requires that the you have AD DS and that the Windows 10 Enterprise devices are joined to the your AD DS domain. You can create AppLocker rules by using Group Policy, and then target those rules to the appropriate devices.
For more information about AppLocker management by using Group Policy, see [AppLocker deployment guide](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/keep-secure/applocker-policies-deployment-guide).
### App-V
App-V requires an App-V server infrastructure to support App-V clients. The primary App-V components that the you must have are as follows:
- **App-V server**. The App-V server provides App-V management, virtualized app publishing, app streaming, and reporting services. Each of these services can be run on one server or can be run individually on multiple servers. For example, you could have multiple streaming servers. App-V clients contact App-V servers to determine which apps are published to the user or device, and then run the virtualized app from the server.
- **App-V sequencer**. The App-V sequencer is a typical client device that is used to sequence (capture) apps and prepare them for hosting from the App-V server. You install apps on the App-V sequencer, and the App-V sequencer software determines the files and registry settings that are changed during app installation. Then the sequencer captures these settings to create a virtualized app.
- **App-V client**. The App-V client must be enabled on any client device on which apps will be run from the App-V server. These will be the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 devices.
For more information about implementing the App-V server, App-V sequencer, and App-V client, see the following resources:
- [Getting Started with App-V for Windows 10](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/appv-getting-started)
- [Deploying the App-V server](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/appv-deploying-the-appv-server)
- [Deploying the App-V Sequencer and Configuring the Client](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/appv-deploying-the-appv-sequencer-and-client)
### UE-V
UE-V requires server- and client-side components that you youll need to download, activate, and install. These components include:
- **UE-V service**. The UE-V service (when enabled on devices) monitors registered applications and Windows for any settings changes, then synchronizes those settings between devices.
- **Settings packages**. Settings packages created by the UE-V service store application settings and Windows settings. Settings packages are built, locally stored, and copied to the settings storage location.
- **Settings storage location**. This location is a standard network share that your users can access. The UE-V service verifies the location and creates a hidden system folder in which to store and retrieve user settings.
- **Settings location templates**. Settings location templates are XML files that UE-V uses to monitor and synchronize desktop application settings and Windows desktop settings between user computers. By default, some settings location templates are included in UE-V. You can also create, edit, or validate custom settings location templates by using the UE-V template generator. Settings location templates are not required for Windows applications.
- **Universal Windows applications list**. UE-V determines which Windows applications are enabled for settings synchronization using a managed list of applications. By default, this list includes most Windows applications.

### Managed User Experience
The Managed User Experience feature is a set of Windows 10 Enterprise edition features and corresponding settings that you can use to manage user experience. Table 2 describes the Managed User Experience settings (by category), which are only available in Windows 10 Enterprise edition. The management methods used to configure each feature depend on the feature. Some features are configured by using Group Policy, while others are configured by using Windows PowerShell, Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM), or other command-line tools. For the Group Policy settings, you must have AD DS with the Windows 10 Enterprise devices joined to your AD DS domain.
*Table 2. Managed User Experience features*
| Feature | Description |
|------------------|-----------------|
| Start layout customization | You can deploy a customized Start layout to users in a domain. No reimaging is required, and the Start layout can be updated simply by overwriting the .xml file that contains the layout. This enables you to customize Start layouts for different departments or organizations, with minimal management overhead.<br>For more information on these settings, see [Customize Windows 10 Start and taskbar with Group Policy](http://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/customize-windows-10-start-screens-by-using-group-policy). |
| Unbranded boot | You can suppress Windows elements that appear when Windows starts or resumes and can suppress the crash screen when Windows encounters an error from which it cannot recover.<br>For more information on these settings, see [Unbranded Boot](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/mt571997(v=vs.85).aspx). |
| Custom logon | You can use the Custom Logon feature to suppress Windows 10 UI elements that relate to the Welcome screen and shutdown screen. For example, you can suppress all elements of the Welcome screen UI and provide a custom logon UI. You can also suppress the Blocked Shutdown Resolver (BSDR) screen and automatically end applications while the OS waits for applications to close before a shutdown.<br>For more information on these settings, see [Custom Logon](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/mt571990(v=vs.85).aspx). |
| Shell launcher | Enables Assigned Access to run only a classic Windows app via Shell Launcher to replace the shell.<br>For more information on these settings, see [Shell Launcher](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/mt571994(v=vs.85).aspx). |
| Keyboard filter | You can use Keyboard Filter to suppress undesirable key presses or key combinations. Normally, users can use certain Windows key combinations like Ctrl+Alt+Delete or Ctrl+Shift+Tab to control a device by locking the screen or using Task Manager to close a running application. This is not desirable on devices intended for a dedicated purpose.<br>For more information on these settings, see [Keyboard Filter](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/mt587088(v=vs.85).aspx). |
| Unified write filter | You can use Unified Write Filter (UWF) on your device to help protect your physical storage media, including most standard writable storage types that are supported by Windows, such as physical hard disks, solid-state drives, internal USB devices, external SATA devices, and so on. You can also use UWF to make read-only media appear to the OS as a writable volume.<br>For more information on these settings, see [Unified Write Filter](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/mt572001(v=vs.85).aspx). |
