+# Chromebook migration guide
+
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10
+
+In this guide you will learn how to migrate a Google Chromebook-based learning environment to a Windows 10-based learning environment. You will learn how to perform the necessary planning steps, including Windows device deployment, migration of user and device settings, app migration or replacement, and cloud storage migration. You will then learn the best method to perform the migration by using automated deployment and migration tools.
+
+## Plan Chromebook migration
+
+
+Before you begin to migrate Chromebook devices, plan your migration. As with most projects, there can be an urge to immediately start doing before planning. When you plan your Chromebook migration before you perform the migration, you can save countless hours of frustration and mistakes during the migration process.
+
+In the planning portion of this guide, you will identify all the decisions that you need to make and how to make each decision. At the end of the planning section, you will have a list of information you need to collect and what you need to do with the information. You will be ready to perform your Chromebook migration.
+
+## Plan for app migration or replacement
+
+
+App migration or replacement is an essential part of your Chromebook migration. In this section you will plan how you will migrate or replace Chromebook (Chrome OS) apps that are currently in use with the same or equivalent Windows apps. At the end of this section, you will have a list of the active Chrome OS apps and the Windows app counterparts.
+
+**Identify the apps currently in use on Chromebook devices**
+
+Before you can do any analysis or make decisions about which apps to migrate or replace, you need to identify which apps are currently in use on the Chromebook devices. You will create a list of apps that are currently in use (also called an app portfolio).
+
+**Note**
+The majority of Chromebook apps are web apps. For these apps you need to first perform Microsoft Edge compatibility testing and then publish the web app URL to the Windows users. For more information, see the [Perform app compatibility testing for web apps](#perform-testing-webapps) section.
+
+
+
+You can divide the apps into the following categories:
+
+- **Apps installed and managed by the institution.** These apps are typically managed in the Apps section in the Google Admin Console. You can record the list of these apps in your app portfolio.
+
+- **Apps installed by faculty or students.** Faculty or students might have installed these apps as a part of a classroom curriculum. Obtain the list of these apps from faculty or students. Ensure you only record apps that are legitimately used as a part of classroom curriculum (and not for personal entertainment or use).
+
+Record the following information about each app in your app portfolio:
+
+- App name
+
+- App type (such as offline app, online app, web app, and so on)
+
+- App publisher or developer
+
+- App version currently in use
+
+- App priority (how necessary is the app to the day-to-day process of the institution or a classroom? Rank as high, medium, or low)
+
+Throughout the entire app migration or replacement process, focus on the higher priority apps. Focus on lower priority apps only after you have determined what you will do with the higher priority apps.
+
+###
+
+**Select Google Apps replacements**
+
+Table 1 lists the Windows device app replacements for the common Google Apps on Chromebook devices. If your users rely on any of these Google Apps, use the corresponding app on the Windows device. Use the information in Table 1 to select the Google App replacement on a Windows device.
+
+Table 1. Google App replacements
+
+| If you use this Google app on a Chromebook | Use this app on a Windows device |
+|--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
+| Google Docs | Word 2016 or Word Online |
+| Google Sheets | Excel 2016 or Excel Online |
+| Google Slides | PowerPoint 2016 or PowerPoint Online |
+| Google Apps Gmail | Outlook 2016 or Outlook Web App |
+| Google Hangouts | Microsoft Skype for Business |
+| Chrome | Microsoft Edge |
+| Google Drive | Microsoft OneDrive for Business |
+
+
+
+It may be that you will decide to replace Google Apps after you deploy Windows devices. For more information on making this decision, see the [Select cloud services migration strategy](#select-cs-migrationstrat) section of this guide.
+
+**Find the same or similar apps in the Windows Store**
+
+In many instances, software vendors will create a version of their app for multiple platforms. You can search the Windows Store to find the same or similar apps to any apps not identified in the [Select Google Apps replacements](#select-googleapps) section.
+
+In other instances, the offline app does not have a version written for the Windows Store or is not a web app. In these cases, look for an app that provides similar functions. For example, you might have a graphing calculator offline Android app published on the Chrome OS, but the software publisher does not have a version for Windows devices. Search the Windows Store for a graphing calculator app that provides similar features and functionality. Use that Windows Store app as a replacement for the graphing calculator offline Android app published on the Chrome OS.
+
+Record the Windows app that replaces the Chromebook app in your app portfolio.
+
+###
+
+**Perform app compatibility testing for web apps**
+
+The majority of Chromebook apps are web apps. Because you cannot run native offline Chromebook apps on a Windows device, there is no reason to perform app compatibility testing for offline Chromebook apps. However, you may have a number of web apps that will run on both platforms.
+
+Ensure that you test these web apps in Microsoft Edge. Record the level of compatibility for each web app in Microsoft Edge in your app portfolio.
+
+## Plan for migration of user and device settings
+
+
+Some institutions have configured the Chromebook devices to make the devices easier to use by using the Google Chrome Admin Console. You have also probably configured the Chromebook devices to help ensure the user data access and ensure that the devices themselves are secure by using the Google Chrome Admin Console.
+
+However, in addition to your centralized configuration in the Google Admin Console, Chromebook users have probably customized their device. In some instances, users may have changed the web content that is displayed when the Chrome browser starts. Or they may have bookmarked websites for future reference. Or users may have installed apps for use in the classroom.
+
+In this section, you will identify the user and device configuration settings for your Chromebook users and devices. Then you will prioritize these settings to focus on the configuration settings that are essential to your educational institution.
+
+At the end of this section, you should have a list of Chromebook user and device settings that you want to migrate to Windows, as well as a level of priority for each setting. You may discover at the end of this section that you have few or no higher priority settings to be migrated. If this is the case, you can skip the [Perform migration of user and device settings](#migrate-user-device-settings) section of this guide.
+
+**Identify Google Admin Console settings to migrate**
+
+You use the Google Admin Console (as shown in Figure 1) to manage user and device settings. These settings are applied to all the Chromebook devices in your institution that are enrolled in the Google Admin Console. Review the user and device settings in the Google Admin Console and determine which settings are appropriate for your Windows devices.
+
+
+
+Figure 1. Google Admin Console
+
+Table 2 lists the settings in the Device Management node in the Google Admin Console. Review the settings and determine which settings you will migrate to Windows.
+
+Table 2. Settings in the Device Management node in the Google Admin Console
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+| Network |
+These settings configure the network connections for Chromebook devices and include the following settings categories:
+
+Wi-Fi. Configures the Wi-Fi connections that are available. The Windows devices will need these configuration settings to connect to the same Wi-Fi networks. Ethernet. Configures authentication for secured, wired Ethernet connections (802.1x). The Windows devices will need these configuration settings to connect to the network. VPN. Specifies the VPN network connections used by devices when not directly connected to your intranet. The Windows devices will need the same VPN network connections for users to remotely connect to your intranet. Certificates. Contains the certificates used for network authentication. The Windows devices will need these certificates to connect to the network. |
+
+
+| Mobile |
+These settings configure and manage companion devices (such as smartphones or tablets) that are used in conjunction with the Chromebook devices and include the following settings categories:
+
+Device management settings. Configures settings for mobile (companion) devices, such as device synchronization, password settings, auditing, enable remote wipe, and other settings. Record these settings so that you can ensure the same settings are applied when the devices are being managed by Microsoft Intune or another mobile device management (MDM) provider. Device activation. Contains a list of mobile (companion) devices that need to be approved for management by using the Google Admin Console. Approve or block any devices in this list so that the list of managed devices accurately reflects active managed devices. Managed devices. Performs management tasks on mobile (companion) devices that are managed by the Google Admin Console. Record the list of companion devices on this page so that you can ensure the same devices are managed by Intune or another MDM provider. Set Up Apple Push Certificate. Configures the certificate that is essentially the digital signature that lets the Google Admin Console manage iOS devices. You will need this certificate if you plan to manage iOS devices by using Intune or another MDM provider. Set Up Android for Work. Authorizes the Google Admin Console to be the MDM provider for Android devices by providing an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) token. You will need this token if you plan to manage Android devices by using another MDM provider. |
+
+
+| Chrome management |
+These settings configure and manage companion devices (such as smartphones or tablets) that are used in conjunction with the Chromebook devices and include the following settings categories:
+
+User settings. Configures user-based settings for the Chrome browser and Chromebook devices. Most of these Chromebook user-based settings can be mapped to a corresponding setting in Windows. Record the settings and then map them to settings in Group Policy or Intune. Public session settings. Configures Public Sessions for Chrome devices that are used as kiosks, loaner devices, shared computers, or for any other work or school-related purpose for which users don't need to sign in with their credentials. You can configure Windows devices similarly by using Assigned Access. Record the settings and apps that are available in Public Sessions so that you can provide similar configuration in Assigned Access. Device settings. Configures device-based settings for the Chrome browser and Chromebook devices. You can map most of these Chromebook device-based settings to a corresponding setting in Windows. Record the settings and then map them to settings in Group Policy or Intune. Devices. Manages Chrome device management licenses. The number of licenses recorded here should correspond to the number of licenses you will need for your new management system, such as Intune. Record the number of licenses and use those to determine how many licenses you will need to manage your Windows devices. App Management. Provides configuration settings for Chrome apps. Record the settings for any apps that you have identified that will run on Windows devices. |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Table 3 lists the settings in the Security node in the Google Admin Console. Review the settings and determine which settings you will migrate to Windows.
+
+Table 3. Settings in the Security node in the Google Admin Console
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Basic settings |
+These settings configure password management and whether or not two-factor authentication (2FA) is configured. You can set the minimum password length, the maximum password length, if non-admin users can recover their own passwords, and enable 2FA.
+Record these settings and use them to help configure your on-premises Active Directory or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to mirror the current behavior of your Chromebook environment. |
+
+
+Password monitoring |
+This section is used to monitor the strength of user passwords. You don’t need to migrate any settings in this section. |
+
+
+API reference |
+This section is used to enable access to various Google Apps Administrative APIs. You don’t need to migrate any settings in this section. |
+
+
+Set up single sign-on (SSO) |
+This section is used to configure SSO for Google web-based apps (such as Google Apps Gmail or Google Apps Calendar). While you don’t need to migrate any settings in this section, you probably will want to configure Azure Active Directory synchronization to replace Google-based SSO. |
+
+
+Advanced settings |
+This section is used to configure administrative access to user data and to configure the Google Secure Data Connector (which allows Google Apps to access data on your local network). You don’t need to migrate any settings in this section. |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+**Identify locally-configured settings to migrate**
+
+In addition to the settings configured in the Google Admin Console, users may have locally configured their devices based on their own personal preferences (as shown in Figure 2). Table 4 lists the Chromebook user and device settings that you can locally configure. Review the settings and determine which settings you will migrate to Windows. Some of the settings listed in Table 4 can only be seen when you click the **Show advanced settings** link (as shown in Figure 2).
+
+
+
+Figure 2. Locally-configured settings on Chromebook
+
+Table 4. Locally-configured settings
+
+| Section | Settings |
+|------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Internet connections | These settings configure the Internet connection for the devices, such as Wi-Fi and VPN connections. Record the network connection currently in use and configure the Windows device to use the same network connection settings. |
+| Appearances | These settings affect the appearance of the desktop. Record the wallpaper image file that is used. Migrate the image file to the Windows device and configure as the user’s wallpaper to maintain similar user experience. |
+| Search | These settings configure which search engine is used to search for content. Record this setting so that you can use as the search engine on the Windows device. |
+| Advanced sync settings | These settings configure which user settings are synchronized with the Google cloud, such as Apps, Extensions, History, Passwords, Settings, and so on. Record these settings and configure the Windows device with the same settings if you decide to continue to use Google Apps and other cloud services after you migrate to Windows devices. |
+| Date and time | These settings configure the time zone and if 24-hour clock time should be used. Record these settings and configure the Windows device to use these settings. |
+| Privacy | These settings configure Google Chrome web browser privacy settings (such as prediction service, phishing and malware protection, spelling errors, resource pre-fetch, and so on). Record these settings and configure Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, or the web browser of your choice with these settings. |
+| Bluetooth | This setting configures whether or not Bluetooth is enabled on the device. Record this setting and configure the Windows device similarly. |
+| Passwords and forms | These settings configure Google Chrome web browser to enable autofill of web forms and to save web passwords. Record these settings and configure Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, or the web browser of your choice with these settings. |
+| Smart lock | These settings configure the Chromebook when the user’s Android phone is nearby and unlocked, which eliminates the need to type a password. You don’t need to migrate settings in this section. |
+| Web content | These settings configure how the Chrome web browser displays content (such as font size and page zoom). Record these settings and configure Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, or the web browser of your choice with these settings. |
+| Languages | These settings configure the language in use for the Chromebook. Record these settings and configure the Windows device to support the same language. |
+| Downloads | These settings configure the default folder for file download, if the user should be prompted where to save files, and if the Google Drive account should be disconnected. Record these settings and configure the Windows device with similar settings. |
+| HTTPS/SSL | These settings configure client-side certificates that are used to authenticate the device. Depending on the services or apps that use these certificates, you may need to export and then migrate these certificates to the Windows device. Contact the service or app provider to determine if you can use the existing certificate or if a new certificate needs to be issued. Record these settings and migrate the certificate to the Windows device or enroll for a new certificate as required by the service or app. |
+| Google Cloud Print | These settings configure the printers that are available to the user. Record the list of printers available to the user and configure the Windows device to have the same printers available. Ensure that the user-friendly printer names in Windows are the same as for the Chromebook device. For example, if the Chromebook device has a printer named “Laser Printer in Registrar’s Office”, use that same name in Windows. |
+| On startup | These settings configure which web pages are opened when the Chrome web browser starts. Record these settings and configure Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, or the web browser of your choice with these settings. |
+| Accessibility | These settings configure the Chromebook ease of use (such as display of large mouse cursor, use of high contrast mode, enablement of the screen magnifier, and so on). Record these settings and configure the Windows device with similar settings. |
+| Powerwash | This action removes all user accounts and resets the Chromebook device back to factory settings. You don’t have to migrate any settings in this section. |
+| Reset settings | This action retains all user accounts, but restores all settings back to their default values. You don’t have to migrate any settings in this section. |
+
+
+
+Determine how many users have similar settings and then consider managing those settings centrally. For example, a large number of users may have many of the same Chrome web browser settings. You can centrally manage these settings in Windows after migration.
+
+Also, as a part of this planning process, consider settings that may not be currently managed centrally, but should be managed centrally. Record the settings that are currently being locally managed, but you want to manage centrally after the migration.
+
+**Prioritize settings to migrate**
+
+After you have collected all the Chromebook user, app, and device settings that you want to migrate, you need to prioritize each setting. Evaluate each setting and assign a priority to the setting based on the levels of high, medium, and low.
+
+Assign the setting-migration priority based on how critical the setting is to the faculty performing their day-to-day tasks and how the setting affects the curriculum in the classrooms. Focus on the migration of higher priority settings and put less effort into the migration of lower priority settings. There may be some settings that are not necessary at all and can be dropped from your list of settings entirely. Record the setting priority in the list of settings you plan to migrate.
+
+## Plan for email migration
+
+
+Many of your users may be using Google Apps Gmail to manage their email, calendars, and contacts. You need to create the list of users you will migrate and the best time to perform the migration.
+
+Office 365 supports automated migration from Google Apps Gmail to Office 365. For more information, see [Migrate Google Apps mailboxes to Office 365](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690252).
+
+**Identify the list of user mailboxes to migrate**
+
+In regards to creating the list of users you will migrate, it might seem that the answer “all the users” might be the best one. However, depending on the time you select for migration, only a subset of the users may need to be migrated. For example, you may not persist student email accounts between semesters or between academic years. In this case you would only need to migrate faculty and staff.
+
+Also, when you perform a migration it is a great time to verify that all user mailboxes are active. In many environments there are a significant number of mailboxes that were provisioned for users that are no longer a part of the institution (such as interns or student assistants). You can eliminate these users from your list of user mailboxes to migrate.
+
+Create your list of user mailboxes to migrate in Excel 2016 based on the format described in step 7 in [Create a list of Gmail mailboxes to migrate](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690253). If you follow this format, you can use the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to perform the actual migration later in the process.
+
+**Identify companion devices that access Google Apps Gmail**
+
+In addition to Chromebook devices, users may have companion devices (smartphones, tablets, desktops, laptops, and so on) that also access the Google Apps Gmail mailbox. You will need to identify those companion devices and identify the proper configuration for those devices to access Office 365 mailboxes.
+
+After you have identified each companion device, verify the settings for the device that are used to access Office 365. You only need to test one type of each companion device. For example, if users use Android phones to access Google Apps Gmail mailboxes, configure the device to access Office 365 and then record those settings. You can publish those settings on a website or to your helpdesk staff so that users will know how to access their Office 365 mailbox.
+
+In most instances, users will only need to provide in their Office 365 email account and password. However, you should verify this on each type of companion device. For more information about how to configure a companion device to work with Office 365, see [Compare how different mobile devices work with Office 365](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690254).
+
+**Identify the optimal timing for the migration**
+
+Typically, the best time to perform the migration is between academic years or during semester breaks. Select the time of least activity for your institution. And during that time, the optimal time to perform the migration might be during an evening or over a weekend.
+
+Ensure that you communicate the time the migration will occur to your users well in advance. Also, ensure that users know how to access their Office 365 email after the migration is complete. Finally, ensure that your users know how to perform the common tasks they performed in Google Apps Gmail in Office 365 and/or Outlook 2016.
+
+## Plan for cloud storage migration
+
+
+Chromebook devices have limited local storage. So, most of your users will store data in cloud storage, such as Google Drive. You will need to plan how to migrate your cloud storage as a part of the Chromebook migration process.
+
+In this section, you will create a list of the existing cloud services, select the Microsoft cloud services that best meet your needs, and then optimize your cloud storage services migration plan.
+
+**Identify cloud storage services currently in use**
+
+Typically, most Chromebook users use Google Drive for cloud storage services because your educational institution purchased other Google cloud services and Google Drive is a part of those services. However, some users may use cloud storage services from other vendors. For each member of your faculty and staff and for each student, create a list of cloud storage services that includes the following:
+
+- Name of the cloud storage service
+
+- Cloud storage service vendor
+
+- Associated licensing costs or fees
+
+- Approximate storage currently in use per user
+
+Use this information as the requirements for your cloud storage services after you migrate to Windows devices. If at the end of this discovery you determine there is no essential data being stored in cloud storage services that requires migration, then you can skip to the [Plan for cloud services migration](#plan-cloud-services) section.
+
+**Optimize cloud storage services migration plan**
+
+Now that you know the current cloud storage services configuration, you need to optimize your cloud storage services migration plan for Microsoft OneDrive for Business. Optimization helps ensure that your use only the cloud storage services resources that are necessary for your requirements.
+
+Consider the following to help optimize your cloud storage services migration plan:
+
+- **Eliminate inactive user storage.** Before you perform the cloud storage services migration, identify cloud storage that is currently allocated to inactive users. Remove this storage from your list of cloud storage to migrate.
+
+- **Eliminate or archive inactive files.** Review cloud storage to identify files that are inactive (have not been accessed for some period of time). Eliminate or archive these files so that they do not consume cloud storage.
+
+- **Consolidate cloud storage services.** If multiple cloud storage services are in use, reduce the number of cloud storage services and standardize on one cloud storage service. This will help reduce management complexity, support time, and typically will reduce cloud storage costs.
+
+Record your optimization changes in your cloud storage services migration plan.
+
+## Plan for cloud services migration
+
+
+Many of your users may use cloud services on their Chromebook device, such as Google Apps, Google Drive, or Google Apps Gmail. You have planned for these individual cloud services in the [Plan for app migration or replacement](#plan-app-migrate-replace), [Plan for Google Apps Gmail to Office 365 migration](#plan-email-migrate), and [Plan for cloud storage migration](#plan-cloud-storage-migration) sections.
+
+In this section, you will create a combined list of these cloud services and then select the appropriate strategy to migrate these cloud services.
+
+###
+
+**Identify cloud services currently in use**
+
+You have already identified the individual cloud services that are currently in use in your educational institution in the [Plan for app migration or replacement](#plan-app-migrate-replace), [Plan for Google Apps Gmail to Office 365 migration](#plan-email-migrate), and [Plan for cloud storage migration](#plan-cloud-storage-migration) sections. Create a unified list of these cloud services and record the following about each service:
+
+- Cloud service name
+
+- Cloud service provider
+
+- Number of users that use the cloud service
+
+**Select cloud services to migrate**
+
+One of the first questions you should ask after you identify the cloud services currently in use is, “Why do we need to migrate from these cloud services?” The answer to this question largely comes down to finances and features.
+
+Here is a list of reasons that describe why you might want to migrate from an existing cloud service to Microsoft cloud services:
+
+- **Better integration with Office 365.** If your long-term strategy is to migrate to Office 365 apps (such as Word 2016 or Excel 2016) then a migration to Microsoft cloud services will provide better integration with these apps. The use of existing cloud services may not be as intuitive for users. For example, Office 365 apps will integrate better with OneDrive for Business compared to Google Drive.
+
+- **Online apps offer better document compatibility.** Microsoft Office online apps (such as Word Online and Excel Online) provide the highest level of compatibility with Microsoft Office documents. The Office online apps allow you to open and edit documents directly from SharePoint or OneDrive for Business. Users can access the Office online app from any device with Internet connectivity.
+
+- **Reduce licensing costs.** If you pay for Office 365 licenses, then Office 365 apps and cloud storage are included in those licenses. Although you could keep existing cloud services, you probably would pay more to keep those services.
+
+- **Improve storage capacity and cross-platform features.** Microsoft cloud services provide competitive storage capacity and provide more Windows-centric features than other cloud services providers. While the Microsoft cloud services user experience is highly optimized for Windows devices, Microsoft cloud services are also highly optimized for companion devices (such as iOS or Android devices).
+
+Review the list of existing cloud services that you created in the [Identify cloud services currently in use](#identify-cloud-services-inuse) section and identify the cloud services that you want to migrate to Microsoft cloud services. If you determine at the end of this task that there are no cloud services to be migrated, then skip to the [Plan for Windows device deployment](#plan-windevice-deploy) section. Also, skip the [Perform cloud services migration](#perform-cloud-services-migration) section later in this guide.
+
+**Prioritize cloud services**
+
+After you have created your aggregated list of cloud services currently in use by Chromebook users, prioritize each cloud service. Evaluate each cloud service and assign a priority based on the levels of high, medium, and low.
+
+Assign the priority based on how critical the cloud service is to the faculty and staff performing their day-to-day tasks and how the cloud service affects the curriculum in the classrooms. Also, make cloud services that are causing pain for the users a higher priority. For example, if users experience outages with a specific cloud service, then make migration of that cloud service a higher priority.
+
+Focus on the migration of higher priority cloud services first and put less effort into the migration of lower priority cloud services. There may be some cloud services that are unnecessary and you can remove them from your list of cloud services to migrate entirely. Record the cloud service migration priority in the list of cloud services you plan to migrate.
+
+###
+
+**Select cloud services migration strategy**
+
+When you deploy the Windows devices, should you migrate the faculty, staff, and students to the new cloud services? Perhaps. But, in most instances you will want to select a migration strategy that introduces a number of small changes over a period of time.
+
+Consider the following when you create your cloud services migration strategy:
+
+- **Introduce small changes.** The move from Chrome OS to Windows will be simple for most users as most will have exposure to Windows from home, friends, or family. However, users may not be as familiar with the apps or cloud services. Consider the move to Windows first, and then make other changes as time progresses.
+
+- **Start off by using existing apps and cloud services.** Immediately after the migration to Windows devices, you may want to consider running the existing apps and cloud services (such Google Apps, Google Apps Gmail, and Google Drive). This gives users a familiar method to perform their day-to-day tasks.
+
+- **Resolve pain points.** If some existing apps or cloud services cause problems, you may want to migrate them sooner rather than later. In most instances, users will be happy to go through the learning curve of a new app or cloud service if it is more reliable or intuitive for them to use.
+
+- **Migrate classrooms or users with common curriculum.** Migrate to Windows devices for an entire classroom or for multiple classrooms that share common curriculum. You must ensure that the necessary apps and cloud services are available for the curriculum prior to the migration of one or more classrooms.
+
+- **Migrate when the fewest number of active users are affected.** Migrate your cloud services at the end of an academic year or end of a semester. This will ensure you have minimal impact on faculty, staff, and students. Also, a migration during this time will minimize the learning curve for users as they are probably dealing with new curriculum for the next semester. Also, you may not need to migrate student apps and data because many educational institutions do not preserve data between semesters or academic years.
+
+- **Overlap existing and new cloud services.** For faculty and staff, consider overlapping the existing and new cloud services (having both services available) for one business cycle (end of semester or academic year) after migration. This allows you to easily recover any data that might not have migrated successfully from the existing cloud services. At a minimum, overlap the user of existing and new cloud services until the user can verify the migration. Of course, the tradeoff for using this strategy is the cost of the existing cloud services. However, depending on when license renewal occurs, the cost may be minimal.
+
+## Plan for Windows device deployment
+
+
+You need to plan for Windows device deployment to help ensure that the devices are successfully installed and configured to replace the Chromebook devices. Even if the vendor that provides the devices pre-loads Windows 10 on them, you still will need to perform other tasks.
+
+In this section you will select a Windows device deployment strategy; plan for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Azure AD services; plan for device, user, and app management; and plan for any necessary network infrastructure remediation.
+
+###
+
+**Select a Windows device deployment strategy**
+
+What decisions need to be made about Windows device deployment? You just put the device on a desk, hook up power, connect to Wi-Fi, and then let the users operate the device, right? That is essentially correct, but depending on the extent of your deployment and other factors, you need to consider different deployment strategies.
+
+For each classroom that has Chromebook devices, select a combination of the following device deployment strategies:
+
+- **Deploy one classroom at a time.** In most cases you will want to perform your deployment in batches of devices and a classroom is an excellent way to batch devices. You can treat each classroom as a unit and check each classroom off your list after you have deployed the devices.
+
+- **Deploy based on curriculum.** Deploy the Windows devices after you have confirmed that the curriculum is ready for the Windows devices. If you deploy Windows devices without the curriculum installed and tested, you could significantly reduce the ability for students and teachers to perform effectively in the classroom. Also, deployment based on curriculum has the advantage of letting you move from classroom to classroom quickly if multiple classrooms use the same curriculum.
+
+- **Deploy side-by-side.** In some instances you may need to have both the Chromebook and Windows devices in one or more classrooms. You can use this strategy if some of the curriculum only works on Chromebook and other parts of the curriculum works on Windows devices. This is a good method to help prevent delays in Windows device deployment, while ensuring that students and teachers can make optimal use of technology in their curriculum.
+
+- **Deploy after apps and cloud services migration.** If you deploy a Windows device without the necessary apps and cloud services to support the curriculum, this provides only a portion of your complete solution. Ensure that the apps and cloud services are tested, provisioned, and ready for use prior to the deployment of Windows devices.
+
+- **Deploy after the migration of user and device settings.** Ensure that you have identified the user and device settings that you plan to migrate and that those settings are ready to be applied to the new Windows devices. For example, you would want to create Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to apply the user and device settings to Windows devices.
+
+ If you ensure that Windows devices closely mirror the Chromebook device configuration, you will ease user learning curve and create a sense of familiarity. Also, when you have the settings ready to be applied to the devices, it helps ensure you will deploy your new Windows devices in a secure configuration.
+
+Record the combination of Windows device deployment strategies that you selected.
+
+###
+
+**Plan for AD DS and Azure AD services**
+
+The next decision you will need to make concerns AD DS and Azure AD services. You can run AD DS on-premises, in the cloud by using Azure AD, or a combination of both (hybrid). The decision about which of these options is best is closely tied to how you will manage your users, apps, and devices and if you will use Office 365 and other Azure-based cloud services.
+
+In the hybrid configuration, your on-premises AD DS user and group objects are synchronized with Azure AD (including passwords). The synchronization happens both directions so that changes are made in both your on-premises AD DS and Azure AD.
+
+Table 5 is a decision matrix that helps you decide if you can use only on-premises AD DS, only Azure AD, or a combination of both (hybrid). If the requirements you select from the table require on-premises AD DS and Azure AD, then you should select hybrid. For example, if you plan to use Office 365 and use Group Policy for management, then you would select hybrid. However, if you plan to use Office 365 and use Intune for management, then you would select only Azure AD.

+
+###
+
+**Plan device, user, and app management**
+
+You may ask the question, “Why plan for device, user, and app management before you deploy the device?” The answer is that you will only deploy the device once, but you will manage the device throughout the remainder of the device's lifecycle.
+
+Also, planning management before deployment is essential to being ready to support the devices as you deploy them. You want to have your management processes and technology in place when the first teachers, facility, or students start using their new Windows device.
+
+Table 6 is a decision matrix that lists the device, user, and app management products and technologies and the features supported by each product or technology. The primary device, user, and app management products and technologies include Group Policy, System Center Configuration Manager, Intune, and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). Use this decision matrix to help you select the right combination of products and technologies for your plan.

+
+You can use Configuration Manager and Intune in conjunction with each other to provide features from both products and technologies. In some instances you may need only one of these products or technologies. In other instances, you may need two or more to meet the device, user, and app management needs for your institution.
+
+Record the device, user, and app management products and technologies that you selected.
+
+###
+
+**Plan network infrastructure remediation**
+
+In addition to AD DS, Azure AD, and management components, there are other network infrastructure services that Windows devices need. In most instances, Windows devices have the same network infrastructure requirements as the existing Chromebook devices.
+
+Examine each of the following network infrastructure technologies and services and determine if any remediation is necessary:
+
+- **Domain Name System (DNS)** provides translation between a device name and its associated IP address. For Chromebook devices, public facing, Internet DNS services are the most important. For Windows devices that only access the Internet, they have the same requirements.
+
+ However, if you intend to communicate between Windows devices (peer-to-peer or client/server) then you will need local DNS services. Windows devices will register their name and IP address with the local DNS services so that Windows devices can locate each other.
+
+- **Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)** provides automatic IP configuration for devices. Your existing Chromebook devices probably use DHCP for configuration. If you plan to immediately replace the Chromebook devices with Windows devices, then you only need to release all the DHCP reservations for the Chromebook devices prior to the deployment of Windows devices.
+
+ If you plan to run Chromebook and Windows devices side-by-side, then you need to ensure that your DHCP service has adequate IP addresses available for both sets of devices.
+
+- **Wi-Fi.** Chromebook devices are designed to connect to Wi-Fi networks. Windows devices are the same. Your existing Wi-Fi network for the Chromebook devices should be adequate for the same number of Windows devices.
+
+ If you plan to significantly increase the number of Windows devices or you plan to run Chromebook and Windows devices side-by-side, then you need to ensure that Wi-Fi network can support the number of devices.
+
+- **Internet bandwidth.** Chromebook devices consume more Internet bandwidth (up to 700 times more) than Windows devices. This means that if your existing Internet bandwidth is adequate for the Chromebook devices, then the bandwidth will be more than adequate for Windows devices.
+
+ However, if you plan to significantly increase the number of Windows devices or you plan to run Chromebook and Windows devices side-by-side, then you need to ensure that your Internet connection can support the number of devices.
+
+ For more information that compares Internet bandwidth consumption for Chromebook and Windows devices, see the following resources:
+
+ - [Chromebook vs. Windows Notebook Network Traffic Analysis](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690255)
+
+ - [Hidden Cost of Chromebook Deployments](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690256)
+
+ - [Microsoft Windows 8.1 Notebook vs. Chromebooks for Education](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690257)
+
+- **Power.** Although not specifically a network infrastructure, you need to ensure your classrooms have adequate power. Chromebook and Windows devices should consume similar amounts of power. This means that your existing power outlets should support the same number of Windows devices.
+
+ If you plan to significantly increase the number of Windows devices or you plan to run Chromebook and Windows devices side-by-side, you need to ensure that the power outlets, power strips, and other power management components can support the number of devices.
+
+At the end of this process, you may determine that no network infrastructure remediation is necessary. If so, you can skip the [Perform network infrastructure remediation](#network-infra-remediation) section of this guide.
+
+## Perform Chromebook migration
+
+
+Thus far, planning has been the primary focus. Believe it or not most of the work is now done. The rest of the Chromebook migration is just the implementation of the plan you have created.
+
+In this section you will perform the necessary steps for the Chromebook device migration. You will perform the migration based on the planning decision that you made in the [Plan Chromebook migration](#plan-migration) section earlier in this guide.
+
+You must perform some of the steps in this section in a specific sequence. Each section has guidance about when to perform a step. You can perform other steps before, during, or after the migration. Again, each section will tell you if the sequence is important.
+
+## Perform network infrastructure remediation
+
+
+The first migration task is to perform any network infrastructure remediation. In the [Plan network infrastructure remediation](#plan-network-infra-remediation) section, you determined the network infrastructure remediation (if any) that you needed to perform.
+
+It is important that you perform any network infrastructure remediation first because the remaining migration steps are dependent on the network infrastructure. Table 7 lists the Microsoft network infrastructure products and technologies and deployment resources for each.
+
+Table 7. Network infrastructure products and technologies and deployment resources

+ |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+If you use network infrastructure products and technologies from other vendors, refer to the vendor documentation on how to perform the necessary remediation. If you determined that no remediation is necessary, you can skip this section.
+
+## Perform AD DS and Azure AD services deployment or remediation
+
+
+It is important that you perform AD DS and Azure AD services deployment or remediation right after you finish network infrastructure remediation. Many of the remaining migration steps are dependent on you having your identity system (AD DS or Azure AD) in place and up to necessary expectations.
+
+In the [Plan for Active Directory services](#plan-adservices) section, you determined the AD DS and/or Azure AD deployment or remediation (if any) that needed to be performed. Table 8 list AD DS, Azure AD, and the deployment resources for both. Use the resources in this table to deploy or remediate on-premises AD DS, Azure AD, or both.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+If you decided not to migrate to AD DS or Azure AD as a part of the migration, or if you determined that no remediation is necessary, you can skip this section. If you use identity products and technologies from another vendor, refer to the vendor documentation on how to perform the necessary steps.
+
+## Prepare device, user, and app management systems
+
+
+In the [Plan device, user, and app management](#plan-userdevapp-manage) section of this guide, you selected the products and technologies that you will use to manage devices, users, and apps on Windows devices. You need to prepare your management systems prior to Windows 10 device deployment. You will use these management systems to manage the user and device settings that you selected to migrate in the [Plan for migration of user and device settings](#plan-migrate-user-device-settings) section. You need to prepare these systems prior to the migration of user and device settings.
+
+Table 9 lists the Microsoft management systems and the deployment resources for each. Use the resources in this table to prepare (deploy or remediate) these management systems.

+If you determined that no new management system or no remediation of existing systems is necessary, you can skip this section. If you use a management system from another vendor, refer to the vendor documentation on how to perform the necessary steps.
+
+## Perform app migration or replacement
+
+
+In the [Plan for app migration or replacement](#plan-app-migrate-replace) section, you identified the apps currently in use on Chromebook devices and selected the Windows apps that will replace the Chromebook apps. You also performed app compatibility testing for web apps to ensure that web apps on the Chromebook devices would run on Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer.
+
+In this step, you need to configure your management system to deploy the apps to the appropriate Windows users and devices. Table 10 lists the Microsoft management systems and the app deployment resources for each. Use the resources in this table to configure these management systems to deploy the apps that you selected in the [Plan for app migration or replacement](#plan-app-migrate-replace) section of this guide.

+
+## Perform migration of user and device settings
+
+
+In the [Plan for migration of user and device settings](#plan-migrate-user-device-settings) section, you determined the user and device settings that you want to migrate. You selected settings that are configured in the Google Admin Console and locally on the Chromebook device.
+
+Perform the user and device setting migration by using the following steps:
+
+1. From the list of institution-wide settings that you created in the [Plan for migration of user and device settings](#plan-migrate-user-device-settings) section, configure as many as possible in your management system (such as Group Policy, Configuration Manager, or Intune).
+
+2. From the list of device-specific settings that you created in the [Plan for migration of user and device settings](#plan-migrate-user-device-settings) section, configure device-specific setting for higher priority settings.
+
+3. From the list of user-specific settings that you created in the [Plan for migration of user and device settings](#plan-migrate-user-device-settings) section, configure user-specific setting for higher priority settings.
+
+4. Verify that all higher-priority user and device settings have been configured in your management system.
+
+If you do no want to migrate any user or device settings from the Chromebook devices to the Windows devices, you can skip this section.
+
+## Perform email migration
+
+
+In the [Plan for email migration](#plan-email-migrate) section, you identified the user mailboxes to migrate, identified the companion devices that access Google Apps Gmail, and identified the optimal timing for migration. You can perform this migration before or after you deploy the Windows devices.
+
+Office 365 supports automated migration from Google Apps Gmail to Office 365. For more information on how to automate the migration from Google Apps Gmail to Office 365, see [Migrate Google Apps mailboxes to Office 365](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690252).
+
+Alternatively, if you want to migrate to Office 365 from:
+
+- **On-premises Microsoft Exchange Server.** Use the following resources to migrate to Office 365 from an on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server:
+
+ - [Cutover Exchange Migration and Single Sign-On](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690266)
+
+ - [Step-By-Step: Migration of Exchange 2003 Server to Office 365](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690267)
+
+ - [Step-By-Step: Migrating from Exchange 2007 to Office 365](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=690268)
+
+- **Another on-premises or cloud-based email service.** Follow the guidance from that vendor.
+
+## Perform cloud storage migration
+
+
+In the [Plan for cloud storage migration](#plan-cloud-storage-migration) section, you identified the cloud storage services currently in use, selected the Microsoft cloud storage services that you will use, and optimized your cloud storage services migration plan. You can perform the cloud storage migration before or after you deploy the Windows devices.
+
+Manually migrate the cloud storage migration by using the following steps:
+
+1. Install both Google Drive app and OneDrive for Business or OneDrive app on a device.
+
+2. Sign in as the user in the Google Drive app.
+
+3. Sign in as the user in the OneDrive for Business or OneDrive app.
+
+4. Copy the data from the Google Drive storage to the OneDrive for Business or OneDrive storage.
+
+5. Optionally uninstall the Google Drive app.
+
+There are also a number of software vendors who provide software that helps automate the migration from Google Drive to OneDrive for Business, Office 365 SharePoint, or OneDrive. For more information about these automated migration tools, contact the vendors.
+
+## Perform cloud services migration
+
+
+In the [Plan for cloud services migration](#plan-cloud-services)section, you identified the cloud services currently in use, selected the cloud services that you want to migrate, prioritized the cloud services to migrate, and then selected the cloud services migration strategy. You can perform the cloud services migration before or after you deploy the Windows devices.
+
+Migrate the cloud services that you currently use to the Microsoft cloud services that you selected. For example, you could migrate from a collaboration website to Office 365 SharePoint. Perform the cloud services migration based on the existing cloud services and the Microsoft cloud services that you selected.
+
+There are also a number of software vendors who provide software that helps automate the migration from other cloud services to Microsoft cloud services. For more information about these automated migration tools, contact the vendors.
+
+## Perform Windows device deployment
+
+
+In the [Select a Windows device deployment strategy](#select-windows-device-deploy) section, you selected how you wanted to deploy Windows 10 devices. The other migration task that you designed in the [Plan for Windows device deployment](#plan-windevice-deploy) section have already been performed. Now it's time to deploy the actual devices.
+
+For example, if you selected to deploy Windows devices by each classroom, start with the first classroom and then proceed through all of the classrooms until you’ve deployed all Windows devices.
+
+In some instances, you may receive the devices with Windows 10 already deployed, and want to use provisioning packages. In other cases, you may have a custom Windows 10 image that you want to deploy to the devices by using Configuration Manager and/or MDT. For information on how to deploy Windows 10 images to the devices, see the following resources:
+
+- [Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=733911)
+
+- [Build and apply a provisioning package](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=733918)

+
+- [Operating System Deployment in Configuration Manager](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=733916)
+
+In addition to the Windows 10 image deployment, you may need to perform the following tasks as a part of device deployment:
+
+- Enroll the device with your management system.
+
+- Ensure that Windows Defender is enabled and configured to receive updates.
+
+- Ensure that Windows Update is enabled and configured to receive updates.
+
+- Deploy any apps that you want the user to immediately be able to access when they start the device (such as Word 2016 or Excel 2016).
+
+After you complete these steps, your management system should take over the day-to-day maintenance tasks for the Windows 10 devices. Verify that the user and device settings migrated correctly as you deploy each batch of Windows 10 devices. Continue this process until you deploy all Windows 10 devices.

+# Deploy Windows 10 in a school
+
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10
+
+This guide shows you how to deploy the Windows 10 operating system in a school environment. You learn how to deploy Windows 10 in classrooms; integrate the school environment with Microsoft Office 365, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD); and deploy Windows 10 and your apps to new devices or upgrade existing devices to Windows 10. This guide also describes how to use Microsoft Intune and Group Policy to manage devices. Finally, the guide discusses common, ongoing maintenance tasks that you will perform after initial deployment as well as the automated tools and built-in features of the operating system.
+
+## Prepare for school deployment
+
+Proper preparation is essential for a successful school deployment. To avoid common mistakes, your first step is to plan a typical school configuration. Just as with building a house, you need a blueprint for what your school should look like when it’s finished. The second step in preparation is to learn how you will configure your school. Just as a builder needs to have the right tools to build a house, you need the right set of tools to deploy your school.
+
+### Plan a typical school configuration
+
+As part of preparing for your school deployment, you need to plan your configuration—the focus of this guide. Figure 1 illustrates a typical finished school configuration that you can use as a model (the blueprint in our builder analogy) for the finished state.
+
+
+
+*Figure 1. Typical school configuration for this guide*
+
+Figure 2 shows the classroom configuration this guide uses.
+
+
+
+*Figure 2. Typical classroom configuration in a school*
+
+This school configuration has the following characteristics:
+- It contains one or more admin devices.
+- It contains two or more classrooms.
+- Each classroom contains one teacher device.
+- The classrooms connect to each other through multiple subnets.
+- All devices in each classroom connect to a single subnet.
+- All devices have high-speed, persistent connections to each other and to the Internet.
+- All teachers and students have access to Windows Store or Windows Store for Business.
+- All devices receive software updates from Intune (or another device management system).
+- You install a 64-bit version of Windows 10 on the admin device.
+- You install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) on the admin device.
+- You install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) on the admin device.
+- You install the 64-bit version of the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013 Update 2 on the admin device.
+
+ **Note** In this guide, all references to MDT refer to the 64-bit version of MDT 2013 Update 2.
+- The devices use Azure AD in Office 365 Education for identity management.
+- If you have on-premises AD DS, you can [integrate Azure AD with on-premises AD DS](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-aadconnect/).
+- Use [Intune](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj676587.aspx), [compliance settings in Office 365](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-mobile-devices-in-Office-365-dd892318-bc44-4eb1-af00-9db5430be3cd?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US), or [Group Policy](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725828%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) in AD DS to manage devices.
+- Each device supports a one-student-per-device or multiple-students-per-device scenario.
+- The devices can be a mixture of different make, model, and processor architecture (32 bit or 64 bit) or be identical.
+- To initiate Windows 10 deployment, use a USB flash drive, DVD-ROM or CD-ROM, or Pre-Boot Execution Environment Boot (PXE Boot).

+
+## How to configure a school
+
+Now that you have the plan (blueprint) for your classroom, you’re ready to learn about the tools you will use to deploy it. There are many tools you could use to accomplish the task, but this guide focuses on using those tools that require the least infrastructure and technical knowledge.
+
+The primary tool you will use to deploy Windows 10 in your school is MDT, which uses Windows ADK components to make deployment easier. You could just use the Windows ADK to perform your deployment, but MDT simplifies the process by providing an intuitive, wizard-driven user interface (UI).
+
+You can use MDT as a stand-alone tool or integrate it with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. As a stand-alone tool, MDT performs Lite Touch Installation (LTI) deployments—deployments that require minimal infrastructure and allow you to control the level of automation. When integrated with System Center Configuration Manager, MDT performs Zero Touch Installation (ZTI) deployments, which require more infrastructure (such as System Center Configuration Manager) but result in fully automated deployments.
+
+MDT includes the Deployment Workbench—a console from which you can manage the deployment of Windows 10 and your apps. You configure the deployment process in the Deployment Workbench, including the management of operating systems, device drivers, apps and migration of user settings on existing devices.
+
+LTI performs deployment from a *deployment share*—a network-shared folder on the device where you installed MDT. You can perform over-the-network deployments from the deployment share or perform deployments from a local copy of the deployment share on a USB drive or DVD. You will learn more about MDT in the [Prepare the admin device](#prepare-the-admin-device) section.
+
+The focus of MDT is deployment, so you also need tools that help you manage your Windows 10 devices and apps. You can manage Windows 10 devices and apps with Intune, the Compliance Management feature in Office 365, or Group Policy in AD DS. You can use any combination of these tools based on your school requirements.
+
+The configuration process requires the following devices:
+
+- **Admin device.** This is the device you use for your day-to-day job functions. It’s also the one you use to create and manage the Windows 10 and app deployment process. You install the Windows ADK and MDT on this device.
+- **Faculty devices.** These are the devices that the teachers and other faculty use for their day-to-day job functions. You use the admin device to deploy (or upgrade) Windows 10 and apps to these devices.
+- **Student devices.** The students will use these devices. You will use the admin device deploy (or upgrade) Windows 10 and apps to them.
+
+The high-level process for deploying and configuring devices within individual classrooms and the school as a whole is as follows and illustrated in Figure 3:
+
+1. Prepare the admin device for use, which includes installing the Windows ADK and MDT.
+2. On the admin device, create and configure the Office 365 Education subscription that you will use for each classroom in the school.
+3. On the admin device, configure integration between on-premises AD DS and Azure AD (if you have an on premises AD DS configuration).
+4. On the admin device, create and configure a Windows Store for Business portal.
+5. On the admin device, prepare for management of the Windows 10 devices after deployment.
+6. On the student and faculty devices, deploy Windows 10 to new or existing devices, or upgrade eligible devices to Windows 10.
+7. On the admin device, manage the Windows 10 devices and apps, the Office 365 subscription, and the AD DS and Azure AD integration.
+
+
+
+*Figure 3. How school configuration works*
+
+Each of the steps illustrated in Figure 3 directly correspond to the remaining high-level sections in this guide.
+
+### Summary
+
+In this section, you looked at the final configuration of your individual classrooms and the school as a whole upon completion of this guide. You also learned the high-level steps you need to perform to deploy the faculty and student devices in your school.
+
+## Prepare the admin device
+
+Now, you’re ready to prepare the admin device for use in the school. This process includes installing the Windows ADK, installing the MDT, and creating the MDT deployment share.
+
+### Install the Windows ADK
+
+The first step in preparing the admin device is to install the Windows ADK. The Windows ADK contains the deployment tools that MDT uses, including the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), the Windows User State Migration Tool (USMT), and Deployment Image Servicing and Management.
+
+When you install the Windows ADK on the admin device, select the following features:
+
+- Deployment tools
+- Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)
+- User State Migration Tool (USMT)
+
+For more information about installing the Windows ADK, see [Step 2-2: Install the Windows ADK](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn781086.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#InstallWindowsADK).
+
+### Install MDT
+
+Next, install MDT. MDT uses the Windows ADK to help you manage and perform Windows 10 and app deployment and is a free tool available directly from Microsoft.
+
+You can use MDT to deploy 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows 10. Install the 64-bit version of MDT to support deployment of 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
+
+**Note** If you install the 32-bit version of MDT, you can install only 32-bit versions of Windows 10. Ensure that you download and install the 64-bit version of MDT so that you can install 64-bit and 32 bit versions of the operating system.
+
+For more information about installing MDT on the admin device, see [Installing a New Instance of MDT](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#InstallingaNewInstanceofMDT).
+
+Now, you’re ready to create the MDT deployment share and populate it with the operating system, apps, and device drivers you want to deploy to your devices.
+
+### Create a deployment share
+
+MDT includes the Deployment Workbench, a graphical user interface that you can use to manage MDT deployment shares. A deployment share is a shared folder that contains all the MDT deployment content. The LTI Deployment Wizard accesses the deployment content over the network or from a local copy of the deployment share (known as MDT deployment media).
+
+For more information about how to create a deployment share, see [Step 3-1: Create an MDT Deployment Share](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn781086.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#CreateMDTDeployShare).
+
+### Summary
+
+In this section, you installed the Windows ADK and MDT on the admin device. You also created the MDT deployment share that you will configure and use later in the LTI deployment process.
+
+## Create and configure Office 365
+
+Office 365 is one of the core components of your classroom environment. You create and manage student identities in Office 365, and students and teachers use the suite as their email, contacts, and calendar system. Teachers and students use Office 365 collaboration features such as SharePoint, OneNote, and OneDrive for Business.
+
+As a first step in deploying your classroom, create an Office 365 Education subscription, and then configure Office 365 for the classroom. For more information about Office 365 Education deployment, see [School deployment of Office 365 Education](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/products/office-365-deployment-resources/default.aspx).
+
+### Select the appropriate Office 365 Education license plan
+
+Complete the following steps to select the appropriate Office 365 Education license plan for your school:
+
+
+- Determine the number of faculty members and students who will use the classroom.
Office 365 Education licensing plans are available specifically for faculty and students. You must assign faculty and students the correct licensing plan.
+
+- Determine the faculty members and students who need to install Office applications on devices (if any). Faculty and students can use Office applications online (standard plans) or run them locally (Office 365 ProPlus plans). Table 1 lists the advantages and disadvantages of standard and Office 365 ProPlus plans.
+
+*Table 1. Comparison of standard and Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus plans*
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+| Standard | - Less expensive than Office 365 ProPlus
- Can be run from any device
- No installation necessary
| - Must have an Internet connection to use it
- Does not support all the features found in Office 365 ProPlus
|
+| Office ProPlus | - Only requires an Internet connection every 30 days (for activation)
- Supports full set of Office features
| - Requires installation
- Can be installed on only five devices per user (there is no limit to the number of devices on which you can run Office apps online)
|
+
+
+
+
+The best user experience is to run Office 365 ProPlus or use native Office apps on mobile devices. If neither of these options is available, use Office applications online. In addition, all Office 365 plans provide a better user experience by storing documents in OneDrive for Business, which is included in all Office 365 plans. OneDrive for Business keeps content in sync among devices and helps ensure that users always have access to their documents on any device.
+
+- Determine whether students or faculty need Azure Rights Management.
You can use Azure Rights Management to protect classroom information against unauthorized access. Azure Rights Management protects your information inside or outside the classroom through encryption, identity, and authorization policies, securing your files and email. You can retain control of the information, even when it’s shared with people outside the classroom or your educational institution. Azure Rights Management is free to use with all Office 365 Education license plans. For more information, see [Azure Rights Management](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj585024.aspx).
+- Record the Office 365 Education license plans needed for the classroom in Table 2.
+
+*Table 2. Office 365 Education license plans needed for the classroom*
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ | Office 365 Education for students |
+ | Office 365 Education for faculty |
+ | Azure Rights Management for students |
+ | Azure Rights Management for faculty |
+
+
+
+You will use the Office 365 Education license plan information you record in Table 2 in the [Create user accounts in Office 365](#create-user-accounts-in-office-365) section of this guide.
+
+### Create a new Office 365 Education subscription
+
+To create a new Office 365 Education subscription for use in the classroom, use your educational institution’s email account. There are no costs to you or to students for signing up for Office 365 Education subscriptions.
+
+**Note** If you already have an Office 365 Education subscription, you can use that subscription and continue to the next section, [Add domains and subdomains](#add-domains-and-subdomains).
+
+#### To create a new Office 365 subscription
+
+1. In Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, type `https://portal.office.com/start?sku=faculty` in the address bar.
+
+ **Note** If you have already used your current sign-in account to create a new Office 365 subscription, you will be prompted to sign in. If you want to create a new Office 365 subscription, start an In-Private Window in one of the following:
+ - Microsoft Edge by opening the Microsoft Edge app, either pressing Ctrl+Shift+P or clicking or tapping **More actions**, and then clicking or tapping **New InPrivate window**.
+ - Internet Explorer 11 by opening Internet Explorer 11, either pressing Ctrl+Shift+P or clicking or tapping **Settings**, clicking or tapping **Safety**, and then clicking or tapping **InPrivate Browsing**.
+
+2. On the **Get started** page, type your school email address in the **Enter your school email address** box, and then click **Sign up**. You will receive an email in your school email account.
+3. Click the hyperlink in the email in your school email account.
+4. On the **One last thing** page, complete your user information, and then click **Start**. The wizard creates your new Office 365 Education subscription, and you are automatically signed in as the administrative user you specified when you created the subscription.
+
+### Add domains and subdomains
+
+Now that you have created your new Office 365 Education subscription, add the domains and subdomains that your institution uses. For example, if your institution has contoso.edu as the primary domain name but you have subdomains for students or faculty (such as students.contoso.edu and faculty.contoso.edu), then you need to add the subdomains.
+
+#### To add additional domains and subdomains
+
+1. In the Office 365 admin center, in the list view, click **DOMAINS**.
+2. In the details pane, above the list of domains, on the menu bar, click **Add domain**.
+3. In the Add a New Domain in Office 365 Wizard, on the **Verify domain wizard** page, click **Let’s get started**.
+4. On the **Verify domain** wizard page, in the **Enter a domain you already own** box, type your domain name, and then click **Next**.
+5. Sign in to your domain name management provider (for example, Network Solutions or GoDaddy), and then complete the steps for your provider.
+6. Repeat these steps for each domain and subdomain you want faculty and students to use for your institution.
+
+### Configure automatic tenant join
+
+To make it easier for faculty and students to join your Office 365 Education subscription (or *tenant*), allow them to automatically sign up to your tenant (*automatic tenant join*). In automatic tenant join, when a faculty member or student signs up for Office 365, Office 365 automatically adds (joins) the user to your Office 365 tenant.
+
+**Note** By default, automatic tenant join is enabled in Office 365 Education, with the exception of certain areas in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. These countries require opt-in steps to add new users to existing Office 365 tenants. Check your country requirements to determine the automatic tenant join default configuration. Also, if you use Azure AD Connect, then automatic tenant join is disabled.
+
+Office 365 uses the domain portion of the user’s email address to know which Office 365 tenant to join. For example, if a faculty member or student provides an email address of user@contoso.edu, then Office 365 automatically performs one of the following tasks:
+
+- If an Office 365 tenant with that domain name (contoso.edu) exists, Office 365 automatically adds the user to that tenant.
+- If an Office 365 tenant with that domain name (contoso.edu) does not exists, Office 365 automatically creates a new Office 365 tenant with that domain name and adds the user to it.
+
+You will always want faculty and students to join the Office 365 tenant that you created. Ensure that you perform the steps in the [Create a new Office 365 Education subscription](#create-a-new-office-365-education-subscription) and [Add domains and subdomains](#add-domains-and-subdomains) sections before allowing other faculty and students to join Office 365.
+
+**Note** You cannot merge multiple tenants, so any faculty or students who create their own tenant will need to abandon their existing tenant and join yours.
+
+All new Office 365 Education subscriptions have automatic tenant join enabled by default, but you can enable or disable automatic tenant join by using the Windows PowerShell commands in Table 3. For more information about how to run these commands, see [How can I prevent students from joining my existing Office 365 tenant](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Office-365-Education-Self-Sign-up-Technical-FAQ-7fb1b2f9-94c2-4cbb-b01e-a6eca34261d6?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#BKMK_PreventJoins).
+
+*Table 3. Windows PowerShell commands to enable or disable Automatic Tenant Join*
+
+
+| Action | Windows PowerShell command |
+|------- |----------------------------|
+| Enable |`Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowEmailVerifiedUsers $true`|
+| Disable |`Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowEmailVerifiedUsers $false`|
+
+**Note** If your institution has AD DS, then disable automatic tenant join. Instead, use Azure AD integration with AD DS to add users to your Office 365 tenant.
+
+### Disable automatic licensing
+
+To reduce your administrative effort, automatically assign Office 365 Education or Office 365 Education Plus licenses to faculty and students when they sign up (automatic licensing). Automatic licensing also enables Office 365 Education or Office 365 Education Plus features that do not require administrative approval.
+
+**Note** By default, automatic licensing is enabled in Office 365 Education. If you want to use automatic licensing, then skip this section and go to the next section.
+
+Although all new Office 365 Education subscriptions have automatic licensing enabled by default, you can enable or disable it for your Office 365 tenant by using the Windows PowerShell commands in Table 4. For more information about how to run these commands, see [How can I prevent students from joining my existing Office 365 tenant](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Office-365-Education-Self-Sign-up-Technical-FAQ-7fb1b2f9-94c2-4cbb-b01e-a6eca34261d6?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#BKMK_PreventJoins).
+
+*Table 4. Windows PowerShell commands to enable or disable automatic licensing*
+
+| Action | Windows PowerShell command|
+| -------| --------------------------|
+| Enable |`Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowAdHocSubscriptions $true`|
+|Disable | `Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowAdHocSubscriptions $false`|
+
+### Enable Azure AD Premium
+
+When you create your Office 365 subscription, you create an Office 365 tenant that includes an Azure AD directory. Azure AD is the centralized repository for all your student and faculty accounts in Office 365, Intune, and other Azure AD–integrated apps. Azure AD is available in Free, Basic, and Premium editions. Azure AD Free, which is included in Office 365 Education, has fewer features than Azure AD Basic, which in turn has fewer features than Azure AD Premium.
+
+Educational institutions can obtain Azure AD Basic edition licenses at no cost. After you obtain your licenses, activate your Azure AD access by completing the steps in [Step 3: Activate your Azure Active Directory access](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-get-started-premium/#step-3-activate-your-azure-active-directory-access).
+
+The Azure AD Premium features that are not in Azure AD Basic include:
+
+- Allow designated users to manage group membership
+- Dynamic group membership based on user metadata
+- Multifactor authentication (MFA)
+- Identify cloud apps that your users run
+- Automatic enrollment in a mobile device management (MDM) system (such as Intune)
+- Self-service recovery of BitLocker
+- Add local administrator accounts to Windows 10 devices
+- Azure AD Connect health monitoring
+- Extended reporting capabilities
+
+You can assign Azure AD Premium licenses to the users who need these features. For example, you may want the users who have access to confidential student information to use MFA. In this example, you could assign Azure AD Premium to only those users.
+
+You can sign up for Azure AD Premium, and then assign licenses to users. In this section, you sign up for Azure AD Premium. You will assign Azure AD Premium licenses to users later in the deployment process.
+
+For more information about:
+
+- Azure AD editions and the features in each, see [Azure Active Directory editions](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-editions/).
+- How to enable Azure AD premium, see [Associate an Azure AD directory with a new Azure subscription](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj573650.aspx#create_tenant3).
+
+### Summary
+You provision and initially configure Office 365 Education as part of the initial configuration. With the subscription in place, automatic tenant join configured, automatic licensing established, and Azure AD Premium enabled (if required), you’re ready to select the method you will use to create user accounts in Office 365.
+
+## Select an Office 365 user account–creation method
+
+
+Now that you have an Office 365 subscription, you need to determine how you will create your Office 365 user accounts. Use the following methods to create Office 365 user accounts:
+
+- **Method 1:** Automatically synchronize your on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD. Select this method if you have an on-premises AD DS domain.
+- **Method 2:** Bulk-import the user accounts from a .csv file (based on information from other sources) into Azure AD. Select this method if you don’t have an on-premises AD DS domain.
+
+### Method 1: Automatic synchronization between AD DS and Azure AD
+
+In this method, you have an on-premises AD DS domain. As shown in Figure 4, the Azure AD Connector tool automatically synchronizes AD DS with Azure AD. When you add or change any user accounts in AD DS, the Azure AD Connector tool automatically updates Azure AD.
+
+**Note** Azure AD Connect also supports synchronization from any Lightweight Directory Access Protocol version 3 (LDAPv3)–compliant directory by using the information provided in [Generic LDAP Connector for FIM 2010 R2 Technical Reference](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn510997.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396).
+
+
+
+*Figure 4. Automatic synchronization between AD DS and Azure AD*
+
+For more information about how to perform this step, see the [Integrate on-premises AD DS with Azure AD](#integrate-on-premises-ad-ds-with-azure-ad) section in this guide.
+
+### Method 2: Bulk import into Azure AD from a .csv file
+
+In this method, you have no on-premises AD DS domain. As shown in Figure 5, you manually prepare a .csv file with the student information from your source, and then manually import the information directly into Azure AD. The .csv file must be in the format that Office 365 specifies.
+
+
+
+*Figure 5. Bulk import into Azure AD from other sources*
+
+To implement this method, perform the following steps:
+
+1. Export the student information from the source. Ultimately, you want to format the student information in the format the bulk-import feature requires.
+2. Bulk-import the student information into Azure AD. For more information about how to perform this step, see the [Bulk-import user accounts into Office 365](#bulk-import-user-accounts-into-office-365) section.
+
+### Summary
+
+In this section, you selected the method for creating user accounts in your Office 365 subscription. Ultimately, these user accounts are in Azure AD (which is the identity management system for Office 365). Now, you’re ready to create your Office 365 accounts.
+
+## Integrate on-premises AD DS with Azure AD
+
+You can integrate your on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD to provide identity management for your Office 365 tenant. With this integration, you can synchronize the users, security groups, and distribution lists in your AD DS domain with Azure AD with the Azure AD Connect tool. Users will be able to sign in to Office 365 automatically by using their email account and the same password they use to sign in to AD DS.
+
+**Note** If your institution does not have an on-premises AD DS domain, you can skip this section.
+
+### Select synchronization model
+
+Before you deploy AD DS and Azure AD synchronization, you need to determine where you want to deploy the server that runs Azure AD Connect.
+
+You can deploy the Azure AD Connect tool by using one of the following methods:
+
+- **On premises.** As shown in Figure 6, Azure AD Connect runs on premises, which has the advantage of not requiring a virtual private network (VPN) connection to Azure. It does, however, require a virtual machine (VM) or physical server.
+
+ 
+
+ *Figure 6. Azure AD Connect on premises*
+
+- **In Azure**. As shown in Figure 7, Azure AD Connect runs on a VM in Azure AD, which has the advantages of being faster to provision (than a physical, on-premises server), offers better site availability, and helps reduce the number of on-premises servers. The disadvantage is that you need to deploy a VPN gateway on premises.
+
+ 
+
+ *Figure 7. Azure AD Connect in Azure*
+
+This guide describes how to run Azure AD Connect on premises. For information about running Azure AD Connect in Azure, see [Deploy Office 365 Directory Synchronization (DirSync) in Microsoft Azure](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn635310.aspx).
+
+### Deploy Azure AD Connect on premises
+
+In this synchronization model (illustrated in Figure 6), you run Azure AD Connect on premises on a physical device or VM. Azure AD Connect synchronizes AD DS user and group accounts with Azure AD. Azure AD Connect includes a wizard that helps you configure Azure AD Connect for your AD DS domain and Office 365 subscription. First, you install Azure AD Connect; then, you run the wizard to configure it for your institution.
+
+#### To deploy AD DS and Azure AD synchronization
+
+1. Configure your environment to meet the prerequisites for installing Azure AD Connect by performing the steps in [Prerequisites for Azure AD Connect](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-aadconnect-prerequisites/).
+2. On the VM or physical device that will run Azure AD Connect, sign in with a domain administrator account.
+3. Install Azure AD Connect by performing the steps in [Install Azure AD Connect](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-aadconnect/#install-azure-ad-connect).
+4. Configure Azure AD Connect features based on your institution’s requirements by performing the steps in [Configure features](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-aadconnect/#configure-sync-features).
+
+Now that you have used on premises Azure AD Connect to deploy AD DS and Azure AD synchronization, you’re ready to verify that Azure AD Connect is synchronizing AD DS user and group accounts with Azure AD.
+
+### Verify synchronization
+
+Azure AD Connect should start synchronization immediately. Depending on the number of users in your AD DS domain, the synchronization process can take some time. To monitor the process, view the number of AD DS users and groups the tool has synchronized with Azure AD in the Office 365 admin console.
+
+#### To verify AD DS and Azure AD synchronization
+
+1. Open https://portal.office.com in your web browser.
+2. Using the administrative account that you created in the [Create a new Office 365 Education subscription](#create-a-new-office-365-education-subscription) section, sign in to Office 365.
+3. In the list view, expand **USERS**, and then click **Active Users**.
+4. In the details pane, view the list of users. The list of users should mirror the users in AD DS.
+5. In the list view, click **GROUPS**.
+6. In the details pane, view the list of security groups. The list of users should mirror the security groups in AD DS.
+7. In the details pane, double-click one of the security groups.
+8. The list of security group members should mirror the group membership for the corresponding security group in AD DS.
+9. Close the browser.
+
+Now that you have verified Azure AD Connect synchronization, you’re ready to assign user licenses for Azure AD Premium.
+
+### Summary
+
+In this section, you selected your synchronization model, deployed Azure AD Connect, and verified that Azure AD is synchronizing properly.
+
+## Bulk-import user and group accounts into AD DS
+
+You can bulk-import user and group accounts into your on-premises AD DS domain. Bulk-importing accounts helps reduce the time and effort needed to create users compared to creating the accounts manually in the Office 365 Admin portal. First, you select the appropriate method for bulk-importing user accounts into AD DS. Next, you create the .csv file that contains the user accounts. Finally, you use the selected method to import the .csv file into AD DS.
+
+**Note** If your institution doesn’t have an on-premises AD DS domain, you can skip this section.
+
+### Select the bulk import method
+
+Several methods are available to bulk-import user accounts into AD DS domains. Table 5 lists the methods that the Windows Server operating system supports natively. In addition, you can use partner solutions to bulk-import user and group accounts into AD DS.
+
+*Table 5. AD DS bulk-import account methods*
+
+|Method | Description and reason to select this method |
+|-------| ---------------------------------------------|

+### Create a source file that contains the user and group accounts
+
+After you have selected your user and group account bulk import method, you’re ready to create the source file that contains the user and group account.

+
+### Summary
+
+In this section, you selected the bulk-import method, created the source file that contains the user and group accounts, and imported the user and group accounts in to AD DS. If you have Azure AD Connect, it automatically synchronizes the new AD DS user and group accounts to Azure AD. Now, you’re ready to assign user licenses for Azure AD Premium in the [Assign user licenses for Azure AD Premium](#assign-user-licenses-for-azure-ad-premium) section later in this guide.
+
+## Bulk-import user accounts into Office 365
+
+You can bulk-import user and group accounts directly into Office 365, reducing the time and effort required to create users. First, you bulk-import the user accounts into Office 365. Then, you create the security groups for your institution. Finally, you create the email distribution groups your institution requires.
+
+### Create user accounts in Office 365
+
+Now that you have created your new Office 365 Education subscription, you need to create user accounts. You can add user accounts for the teachers, other faculty, and students who will use the classroom.
+
+You can use the Office 365 admin center to add individual Office 365 accounts manually—a reasonable process when you’re adding only a few users. If you have many users, however, you can automate the process by creating a list of those users, and then use that list to create user accounts (that is, bulk-add users).
+
+The bulk-add process assigns the same Office 365 Education license plan to all users on the list. Therefore, you must create a separate list for each license plan you recorded in Table 2. Depending on the number of faculty members who need to use the classroom, you may want to add the faculty Office 365 accounts manually; however, use the bulk-add process to add student accounts.
+
+For more information about how to bulk-add users to Office 365, see [Add several users at the same time to Office 365](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-several-users-at-the-same-time-to-Office-365-Admin-Help-1f5767ed-e717-4f24-969c-6ea9d412ca88?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US).
+
+**Note** If you encountered errors during bulk add, resolve them before you continue the bulk-add process. You can view the log file to see which users caused the errors, and then modify the .csv file to correct the problems. Click **Back** to retry the verification process.
+
+The email accounts are assigned temporary passwords upon creation. You must communicate these temporary passwords to your users before they can sign in to Office 365.
+
+### Create Office 365 security groups
+
+Assign SharePoint Online resource permissions to Office 365 security groups, not individual user accounts. For example, create one security group for faculty members and another for students. Then, you can assign unique SharePoint Online resource permissions to faculty members and a different set of permissions to students. Add or remove users from the security groups to grant or revoke access to SharePoint Online resources.
+
+**Note** If your institution has AD DS, don’t create security accounts in Office 365. Instead, create the security groups in AD DS, and then use Azure AD integration to synchronize the security groups with your Office 365 tenant.
+
+For information about creating security groups, see [Create and manage Office 365 groups in Admin Center Preview](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-and-manage-Office-365-groups-in-Admin-Center-Preview-93df5bd4-74c4-45e8-9625-56db92865a6e?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US).
+
+You can add and remove users from security groups at any time.
+
+**Note** Office 365 evaluates group membership when users sign in. If you change group membership for a user, that user may need to sign out, and then sign in again for the change to take effect.
+
+### Create email distribution groups
+
+Microsoft Exchange Online uses an email distribution group as a single email recipient for multiple users. For example, you could create an email distribution group that contains all students. Then, you could send a message to the email distribution group instead of individually addressing the message to each student.
+
+You can create email distribution groups based on job role (such as teachers, administration, or students) or specific interests (such as robotics, drama club, or soccer team). You can create any number of distribution groups, and users can be members of more than one group.
+
+**Note** Office 365 can take some time to complete the Exchange Online creation process. You will have to wait until Office 365 completes the Exchange Online creation process before you can perform the following steps.
+
+For information about how to create security groups, see [Create and manage Office 365 groups in Admin Center Preview](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-and-manage-Office-365-groups-in-Admin-Center-Preview-93df5bd4-74c4-45e8-9625-56db92865a6e?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US).
+
+### Summary
+
+Now, you have bulk-imported the user accounts into Office 365. First, you selected the bulk-import method. Next, you created the Office 365 security groups in Office 365. Finally, you created the Office 365 email distribution groups. Now, you’re ready to assign user licenses for Azure AD Premium.
+
+## Assign user licenses for Azure AD Premium
+
+Azure AD is available in Free, Basic, and Premium editions. Azure AD Free, which is included in Office 365 Education, has fewer features than Azure AD Basic, which in turn has fewer features than Azure AD Premium. Educational institutions can obtain Azure AD Basic licenses at no cost and Azure AD Premium licenses at a reduced cost.
+
+You can assign Azure AD Premium licenses to the users who need the features this edition offers. For example, you may want the users who have access to confidential student information to use MFA. In this example, you could assign Azure AD Premium only to those users.
+
+For more information about:
+
+- Azure AD editions, see [Azure Active Directory editions](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-editions/).
+- How to assign user licenses for Azure AD Premium, see [How to assign EMS/Azure AD Premium licenses to user accounts](https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Azure-Active-Directory-Videos-Demos/How-to-assign-Azure-AD-Premium-Licenses-to-user-accounts).
+
+## Create and configure a Windows Store for Business portal
+
+Windows Store for Business allows you to create your own private portal to manage Windows Store apps in your institution. With Windows Store for Business, you can do the following:
+
+- Find and acquire Windows Store apps.
+- Manage apps, app licenses, and updates.
+- Distribute apps to your users.
+
+For more information about Windows Store for Business, see [Windows Store for Business overview](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/whats-new/windows-store-for-business-overview).
+
+The following section shows you how to create a Windows Store for Business portal and configure it for your school.
+
+### Create and configure your Windows Store for Business portal
+
+To create and configure your Windows Store for Business portal, simply use the administrative account for your Office 365 subscription to sign in to Windows Store for Business. Windows Store for Business automatically creates a portal for your institution and uses your account as its administrator.
+
+#### To create and configure a Windows Store for Business portal
+
+1. In Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, type `http://microsoft.com/business-store` in the address bar.
+2. On the **Windows Store for Business** page, click **Sign in with an organizational account**.
**Note** If your institution has AD DS, then don’t create security accounts in Office 365. Instead, create the security groups in AD DS, and then use Azure AD integration to synchronize the security groups with your Office 365 tenant.
+3. On the Windows Store for Business sign-in page, use the administrative account for the Office 365 subscription you created in the [Create a new Office 365 Education subscription](#create-a-new-office-365-education-subscription) section to sign in.
+4. On the **Windows Store for Business Services Agreement** page, review the agreement, select the **I accept this agreement and certify that I have the authority to bind my organization to its terms** check box, and then click **Accept**
+5. In the **Welcome to the Windows Store for Business** dialog box, click **OK**.
+
+After you create the Windows Store for Business portal, configure it by using the commands in the settings menu listed in Table 7. Depending on your institution, you may (or may not) need to change these settings to further customize your portal.
+
+*Table 7. Menu selections to configure Windows Store for Business settings*
+
+| Menu selection | What you can do in this menu |
+|---------------| -------------------|
+|Account information|Displays information about your Windows Store for Business account (no settings can be changed). You make changes to this information in Office 365 or the Azure Portal. For more information, see [Update Windows Store for Business account settings](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/update-windows-store-for-business-account-settings).|
+|Device Guard signing|Allows you to upload and sign Device Guard catalog and policy files. For more information about Device Guard, see [Device Guard deployment guide](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/keep-secure/device-guard-deployment-guide).|
+|LOB publishers| Allows you to add line-of-business (LOB) publishers that can then publish apps to your private store. LOB publishers are usually internal developers or software vendors that are working with your institution. For more information, see [Working with line-of-business apps](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/working-with-line-of-business-apps).|
+|Management tools| Allows you to add tools that you can use to distribute (deploy) apps in your private store. For more information, see [Distribute apps with a management tool](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/distribute-apps-with-management-tool).|
+|Offline licensing|Allows you to show (or not show) offline licensed apps to people shopping in your private store. For more information, see [Licensing model: online and offline licenses](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/apps-in-windows-store-for-business#licensing-model).|
+|Permissions|Allows you to grant other users in your organization the ability to buy, manage, and administer your Windows Store for Business portal. You can also remove permissions you have previously granted. For more information, see [Roles and permissions in Windows Store for Business](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/roles-and-permissions-windows-store-for-business).|
+|Private store|Allows you to change the organization name used in your Windows Store for Business portal. When you create your portal, the private store uses the organization name that you used to create your Office 365 subscription. For more information, see [Distribute apps using your private store](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/distribute-apps-from-your-private-store).|
+
+### Find, acquire, and distribute apps in the portal
+
+Now that you have created your Windows Store for Business portal, you’re ready to find, acquire, and distribute apps that you will add to your portal. You do this by using the Inventory page in Windows Store for Business.
+
+**Note** Your educational institution can now use a credit card or purchase order to pay for apps in Windows Store for Business.
+
+You can deploy apps to individual users or make apps available to users through your private store. Deploying apps to individual users restricts the app to those specified users. Making apps available through your private store allows all your users.
+
+For more information about how to find, acquire, and distribute apps in the portal, see [App inventory management for Windows Store for Business](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/manage/app-inventory-managemement-windows-store-for-business).
+
+### Summary
+
+At the end of this section, you should have a properly configured Windows Store for Business portal. You have also found and acquired your apps from Windows Store. Finally, you should have deployed all your Windows Store apps to your users. Now, you’re ready to deploy Windows Store apps to your users.
+
+## Plan for deployment
+
+You will use the LTI deployment process in MDT to deploy Windows 10 to devices or to upgrade devices to Windows 10. Prior to preparing for deployment, you must make some deployment planning decisions, including selecting the operating systems you will use, the approach you will use to create your Windows 10 images, and the method you will use to initiate the LTI deployment process.
+
+### Select the operating systems
+
+Later in the process, you will import the versions of Windows 10 you want to deploy. You can deploy the operating system to new devices, refresh existing devices, or upgrade existing devices. In the case of:
+
+- New devices or refreshing existing devices, you will complete replace the existing operating system on a device with Windows 10.
+- Upgrading existing devices, you will upgrade the existing operating system (the Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 operating system) to Windows 10.
+
+Depending on your school’s requirements, you may need any combination of the following Windows 10 editions:
+
+- **Windows 10 Home**. Use this operating system to upgrade existing eligible institution-owned and personal devices that are running Windows 8.1 Home or Windows 7 Home to Windows 10 Home.
+- **Windows 10 Pro**. Use this operating system to:
+ - Upgrade existing eligible institution-owned and personal devices running Windows 8.1 Pro or Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Pro.
+ - Deploy new instances of Windows 10 Pro to devices so that new devices have a known configuration.
+- **Windows 10 Education**. Use this operating system to:
+ - Upgrade institution-owned devices to Windows 10 Education.
+ - Deploy new instances of Windows 10 Education so that new devices have a known configuration.
+
+**Note** Although you can use Windows 10 Home on institution-owned devices, Microsoft recommends that you use Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Education, instead. Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Education provide support for MDM, policy-based management, and Windows Store for Business. These features are not available in Windows 10 Home.
+
+One other consideration is the mix of processor architectures you will support. If you can, support only 64-bit versions of Windows 10. If you have devices that can run only 32 bit versions of Windows 10, you will need to import both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the Windows 10 editions listed above.
+
+**Note** On devices that have minimal system resources (such as devices with only 2 GB of memory or 32 GB of storage), use 32-bit versions of Windows 10 because 64-bit versions of Windows 10 place more stress on device system resources.
+
+Finally, as a best practice, minimize the number of operating systems that you deploy and manage. If possible, standardize institution-owned devices on one Windows 10 edition (such as a 64-bit version of Windows 10 Education or Windows 10 Pro). Of course, you cannot standardize personal devices on a specific operating system version or processor architecture.
+
+### Select an image approach
+
+A key operating system image decision is whether to use a “thin” or “thick” image. *Thin images* contain only the operating system, and MDT installs the necessary device drivers and apps after the operating system has been installed. *Thick images* contain the operating system, “core” apps (such as Office), and device drivers. With thick images, MDT installs any device drivers and apps not included in the thick image after the operating system has been installed.
+
+The advantage to a thin image is that the final deployment configuration is dynamic, and you can easily change the configuration without having to capture another image. The disadvantage of a thin image is that it takes longer to complete the deployment.
+
+The advantage of a thick image is that the deployment takes less time than it would for a thin image. The disadvantage of a thick image is that you need to capture a new image each time you want to make a change to the operating system, apps, or other software in the image.
+
+### Select a method to initiate deployment
+
+The MDT deployment process is highly automated, requiring minimal information to deploy or upgrade Windows 10, but you must manually initiate the MDT deployment process. To do so, use the method listed in Table 8 that best meets the needs of your institution.
+
+*Table 8. Methods to initiate MDT deployment*
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+| Windows Deployment Services |
+This method:
+
+- Uses diskless booting to initiate MDT deployment.
+- Works only with devices that support PXE boot.
+- Deploys Windows 10 over the network, which consumes more network bandwidth than deployment from local media.
+- Deploys images more slowly than when using local media.
+- Requires that you deploy a Windows Deployment Services server.
+
+
+Select this method when you want to deploy Windows over-the-network and perform diskless booting. The advantage of this method is that the diskless media are generic and typically don’t require updates after you create them (the Deployment Wizard accesses the centrally located deployment share over the network). The disadvantage of this method is that over-the-network deployments are slower than deployments from local media, and you must deploy a Windows Deployment Services server. |
+
+
+
+| Bootable media |
+This method:
+
+- Initiates MDT deployment by booting from local media, including from USB drives, DVD-ROM, or CD-ROM.
+- Deploys Windows 10 over the network, which consumes more network bandwidth than deployment from local media.
+- Deploys images more slowly than when using local media.
+- Requires no additional infrastructure.
+
+
+Select this method when you want to deploy Windows over-the-network and are willing to boot the target device from local media. The advantage of this method is that the media are generic and typically don’t require updates after you create them (the Deployment Wizard accesses the centrally located deployment share over the network). The disadvantage of this method is that over-the-network deployments are slower than deployment from local media. |
+
+
+
+| MDT deployment media |
+This method:
+
+- Initiates MDT deployment by booting from a local USB hard disk.
+- Deploys Windows 10 from local media, which consumes less network bandwidth than over-the-network methods.
+- Deploys images more quickly than network-based methods do.
+- Requires a USB hard disk because of the deployment share’s storage requirements (up to 100 GB).
+
+
+Select this method when you want to perform local deployments and are willing to boot the target device from a local USB hard disk. The advantage of this method is that local deployments are faster than over-the-network deployments. The disadvantage of this method is that each time you change the deployment share, you must regenerate the MDT deployment media and update the USB hard disk. |
+
+
+
+
+### Summary
+
+At the end of this section, you should know the Windows 10 editions and processor architecture that you want to deploy (and will import later in the process). You also determined whether you want to use thin or thick images. Finally, you selected the method for initiating your LTI deployment. Now, you can prepare for Windows 10 deployment.
+
+## Prepare for deployment
+
+To deploy Windows 10 to devices, using the LTI deployment method in MDT. In this section, you prepare your MDT environment and Windows Deployment Services for Windows 10 deployment.
+
+### Configure the MDT deployment share
+
+The first step in preparation for Windows 10 deployment is to configure—that is, *populate*—the MDT deployment share. Table 9 lists the MDT deployment share configuration tasks that you must perform. Perform the tasks in the order represented in Table 9.
+
+*Table 9. Tasks to configure the MDT deployment share*
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+| 1. Import operating systems |
+Import the operating systems that you selected in the [Select operating systems](#select-the-operating-systems) section into the deployment share. For more information about how to import operating systems, see [Import an Operating System into the Deployment Workbench](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#ImportanOperatingSystemintotheDeploymentWorkbench). |
+
+
+
+| 2. Import device drives |
+Device drivers allow Windows 10 to know a device’s hardware resources and connected hardware accessories. Without the proper device drivers, certain features may be unavailable. For example, without the proper audio driver, a device cannot play sounds; without the proper camera driver, the device cannot take photos or use video chat.
+
+Import device drivers for each device in your institution. For more information about how to import device drivers, see [Import Device Drivers into the Deployment Workbench](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#ImportDeviceDriversintotheDeploymentWorkbench).
+
+ |
+
+
+
+| 3. Create MDT applications for Windows Store apps |
+Create an MDT application for each Windows Store app you want to deploy. You can deploy Windows Store apps by using *sideloading*, which allows you to use the **Add-AppxPackage** Windows PowerShell cmdlet to deploy the .appx files associated with the app (called *provisioned apps*). Use this method to deploy up to 24 apps to Windows 10.
+
+Prior to sideloading the .appx files, obtain the Windows Store .appx files that you will use to deploy (sideload) the apps in your provisioning package. For apps in Windows Store, you will need to obtain the .appx files from the app software vendor directly. If you are unable to obtain the .appx files from the app software vendor, then you or the students will need to install the apps on the student devices directly from Windows Store or Windows Store for Business.
+
+If you have Intune, you can deploy Windows Store apps after you deploy Windows 10, as described in the [Deploy apps by using Intune](#deploy-apps-by-using-intune) section. This method provides granular deployment of Windows Store apps, and you can use it for ongoing management of Windows Store apps. This is the preferred method of deploying and managing Windows Store apps.
+
+In addition, you must prepare your environment for sideloading (deploying) Windows Store apps. For more information about how to:
+
+- Prepare your environment for sideloading, see [Sideload LOB apps in Windows 10](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/deploy/sideload-apps-in-windows-10).
+- Create an MDT application, see [Create a New Application in the Deployment Workbench](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#CreateaNewApplicationintheDeploymentWorkbench).
+
+
+
+ |
+
+
+
+| 4. Create MDT applications for Windows desktop apps
+ |
+You need to create an MDT application for each Windows desktop app you want to deploy. You can obtain the Windows desktop apps from any source, but ensure that you have sufficient licenses for them.
+
+To help reduce the effort needed to deploy Microsoft Office 2016 desktop apps, use the Office Deployment Tool, as described in [Deploy Click-to-Run for Office 365 products by using the Office Deployment Tool](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219423.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396).
+
+If you have Intune, you can deploy Windows desktop apps after you deploy Windows 10, as described in the [Deploy apps by using Intune](#deploy-apps-by-using-intune) section. This method provides granular deployment of Windows desktop apps, and you can use it for ongoing management of the apps. This is the preferred method for deploying and managing Windows desktop apps.
+
+**Note** You can also deploy Windows desktop apps after you deploy Windows 10, as described in the [Deploy apps by using Intune](#deploy-apps-by-using-intune) section.
+
+For more information about how to create an MDT application for Window desktop apps, see [Create a New Application in the Deployment Workbench](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#CreateaNewApplicationintheDeploymentWorkbench).
+
+ |
+
+
+
+| 5. Create task sequences.
+ |
+You must create a separate task sequences for each Windows 10 edition, processor architecture, operating system upgrade process, and new operating system deployment process. Minimally, create a task sequence for each Windows 10 operating system you imported in Step 1—for example, (1) if you want to deploy Windows 10 Education to new devices or refresh existing devices with a new deployment of Windows 10 Education; (2) if you want to upgrade existing devices running Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to Windows 10 Education; or (3) if you want to run deployments and upgrades for both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows 10. To do so, you must create task sequences that will:
+
+- Deploy Windows 10 Education 64-bit to devices.
+- Deploy Windows 10 Education 32-bit to devices.
+- Upgrade existing devices to Windows 10 Education 64-bit.
+- Upgrade existing devices to Windows 10 Education 32-bit.
+
+
+Again, you will create the task sequences based on the operating systems that you imported in Step 1. For more information about how to create a task sequence, see [Create a New Task Sequence in the Deployment Workbench](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#CreateaNewTaskSequenceintheDeploymentWorkbench).
+
+ |
+
+
+
+| 6. Update the deployment share.
+ |
+Updating a deployment share generates the MDT boot images you use to initiate the Windows 10 deployment process. You can configure the process to create 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the .iso and .wim files you can use to create bootable media or in Windows Deployment Services.
+
+For more information about how to update a deployment share, see [Update a Deployment Share in the Deployment Workbench](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#UpdateaDeploymentShareintheDeploymentWorkbench). |
+
+
+
+
+### Configure Window Deployment Services for MDT
+
+You can use Windows Deployment Services in conjunction with MDT to automatically initiate boot images on target computers. These boot images can be Windows PE images (which you generated in Step 6 in Table 9) or custom images that can deploy operating systems directly to the target computers.
+
+#### To configure Windows Deployment Services for MDT
+
+1. Set up and configure Windows Deployment Services.Windows Deployment Services is a server role available in all Windows Server editions. You can enable the Windows Deployment Services server role on a new server or on any server running Windows Server in your institution. For more information about how to perform this step, see the following resources:
+
+ - [Windows Deployment Services overview](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831764.aspx)
+ - The Windows Deployment Services Help file, included in Windows Deployment Services
+ - [Windows Deployment Services Getting Started Guide for Windows Server 2012](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj648426.aspx)
+
+2. Add LTI boot images (Windows PE images) to Windows Deployment Services.
The LTI boot images (.wim files) that you will add to Windows Deployment Services are in the MDT deployment share. Locate the .wim files in the Boot subfolder in the deployment share. For more information about how to perform this step, see [Add LTI Boot Images to Windows Deployment Services](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#AddLTIBootImagestoWindowsDeploymentServices).
+
+### Summary
+
+Now, Windows Deployment Services is ready to initiate the LTI deployment process in MDT. You have set up and configured Windows Deployment Services and added the LTI boot images, which you generated in the previous section, to Windows Deployment Services. Now, you’re ready to prepare to manage the devices in your institution.
+
+## Prepare for device management
+
+Before you deploy Windows 10 in your institution, you must prepare for device management. You will deploy Windows 10 in a configuration that complies with your requirements, but you want to help ensure that your deployments remain compliant.
+
+### Select the management method
+
+If you have only one device to configure, manually configuring that one device is tedious but possible. When you have multiple classrooms of devices to configure, however, manually configuring each device becomes overwhelming. In addition, manually keeping an identical configuration on each device is virtually impossible as the number of devices in the school increases.
+
+For a school, there are many ways to manage devices. Table 10 lists the methods that this guide describes and recommends. Use the information in Table 10 to determine which combination of management methods is right for your institution.
+
+*Table 10. School management methods*
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+| Group Policy |
+
+Group Policy is an integral part of AD DS and allows you to specify configuration settings for Windows 10 and previous versions of Windows. Select this method when you:
+
+- Want to manage institution-owned devices that are domain joined (personally owned devices are typically not domain joined).
+- Want more granular control of device and user settings.
+- Have an existing AD DS infrastructure.
+- Typically manage on-premises devices.
+- Can manage a required setting only by using Group Policy.
+
+
+The advantages of this method include:
+
+- No cost beyond the AD DS infrastructure.
+- A larger number of settings (compared to Intune).
+
+The disadvantages of this method are:
+
+- Can only manage domain-joined (institution-owned devices).
+- Requires an AD DS infrastructure (if the institution does not have AD DS already).
+- Typically manages on-premises devices (unless devices connect by using a VPN or DirectAccess).
+
+ |
+
+
+
+| Intune |
+Intune is a cloud-based management system that allows you to specify configuration settings for Windows 10, previous versions of Windows, and other operating systems (such as iOS or Android). Intune is a subscription-based cloud service that integrates with Office 365 and Azure AD.
+Select this method when you:
+
+- Want to manage institution-owned and personal devices (does not require that the device be domain joined).
+- Don’t require the level of granular control over device and user settings (compared to Group Policy).
+- Don’t have an existing AD DS infrastructure.
+- Need to manage devices regardless of where they are (on or off premises).
+- Can manage a required setting only by using Intune.
+
+
+The advantages of this method are:
+
+- You can manage institution-owned and personal devices.
+- It doesn’t require that devices be domain joined.
+- It doesn’t require any on-premises infrastructure.
+- It can manage devices regardless of their location (on or off premises).
+
+
+The disadvantages of this method are:
+
+- Carries an additional cost for subscription.
+- Doesn’t have a granular level control over device and user settings (compared to Group Policy).

+### Select Microsoft-recommended settings
+
+Microsoft has several recommended settings for educational institutions. Table 11 lists them, provides a brief description of why you need to configure them, and recommends methods for configuring the settings. Review the settings in Table 11 and evaluate their relevancy to your institution. Use the information to help you determine whether you need to configure the setting and which method you will use to do so. At the end, you will have a list of settings that you want to apply to the Windows 10 devices and know which management method you will use to configure the settings.

+You can use Intune to deploy Windows Store and Windows desktop apps. Intune provides improved control over which users receive specific apps. In addition, Intune allows you deploy apps to companion devices (such as Windows 10 Mobile, iOS, or Android devices) Finally, Intune helps you manage app security and features, such as mobile application management policies that let you manage apps on devices that are not enrolled in Intune or are managed by another solution.
+
+For more information about how to configure Intune to manage your apps, see [Deploy and configure apps with Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/).
+
+### Summary
+
+In this section, you prepared your institution for device management. You determined whether you want to use Group Policy or Intune to manage your devices. You identified the configuration settings that you want to use to manage your users and devices. Finally, you configured the Group Policy and Intune settings in Group Policy and Intune, respectively.
+
+## Deploy Windows 10 to devices
+
+You’re ready to deploy Windows 10 to faculty and student devices. You must complete the steps in this section for each student device in the classrooms as well as for any new student devices you add in the future. You can also perform these actions for any device that’s eligible for a Windows 10 upgrade. This section discusses deploying Windows 10 to new devices, refreshing Windows 10 on existing devices, and upgrading existing devices that are running eligible versions of Windows 8.1 or Windows to Windows 10.
+
+### Prepare for deployment
+
+Prior to deployment of Windows 10, ensure that you complete the tasks listed in Table 12. Most of these tasks are already complete, but use this step to make sure.
+
+*Table 12. Deployment preparation checklist*
+
+|Task | |
+| ---| --- |
+| |The target devices have sufficient system resources to run Windows 10. |
+| | Identify the necessary devices drivers, and import them to the MDT deployment share.|
+| | Create an MDT application for each Windows Store and Windows desktop app.|
+| | Notify the students and faculty about the deployment.|
+
+### Perform the deployment
+
+Use the Deployment Wizard to deploy Windows 10. The LTI deployment process is almost fully automated: You provide only minimal information to the Deployment Wizard at the beginning of the process. After the wizard collects the necessary information, the remainder of the process is fully automated.
+
+**Note** To fully automate the LTI deployment process, complete the steps in the “Fully Automated LTI Deployment Scenario” section in the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Samples Guide](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn781089.aspx).
+
+In most instances, deployments occur without incident. Only in rare occasions do deployments experience problems.
+
+#### To deploy Windows 10
+
+1. **Initiate the LTI deployment process**. Initiate the LTI deployment process booting over the network (PXE boot) or from local media. You selected the method for initiating the LTI deployment process in the [Select a method to initiate deployment](#select-a-method-to-initiate-deployment) section earlier in this guide.
+2. **Complete the Deployment Wizard**. For more information about how to complete the Deployment Wizard, see the “Running the Deployment Wizard” topic in [Using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn759415.aspx#Running%20the%20Deployment%20Wizard).
+
+### Set up printers
+
+After you have deployed Windows 10, the devices are almost ready for use. First, you must set up the printers that each classroom will use. Typically, you connect the printers to the same network as the devices in the same classroom. If you don’t have printers in your classrooms, skip this section and proceed to the [Verify deployment](#verify-deployment) section.
+
+**Note** If you’re performing an upgrade instead of a new deployment, the printers remain configured as they were in the previous version of Windows. As a result, you can skip this section and proceed to the [Verify deployment](#verify-deployment) section.
+
+#### To set up printers
+
+1. Review the printer manufacturer’s instructions for installing the printer drivers.
+2. On the admin device, download the printer drivers.
+3. Copy the printer drivers to a USB drive.
+4. On a device, use the same account you used to set up Windows 10 in the [Perform the deployment](#perform-the-deployment) section to sign in to the device.
+5. Insert the USB drive in the device.
+6. Follow the printer manufacturer’s instructions to install the printer drivers from the USB drive.
+7. Verify that the printer drivers were installed correctly by printing a test page.
+8. Complete steps 1–8 for each printer.
+
+### Verify deployment
+
+As a final quality control step, verify the device configuration to ensure that all apps run. Microsoft recommends that you perform all the tasks that the user would perform. Specifically, verify the following:
+
+- The device can connect to the Internet and view the appropriate web content in Microsoft Edge.
+- Windows Update is active and current with software updates.
+- Windows Defender is active and current with malware signatures.
+- The SmartScreen Filter is active.
+- All Windows Store apps are properly installed and updated.
+- All Windows desktop apps are properly installed and updated.
+- Printers are properly configured.
+
+When you have verified that the first device is properly configured, you can move to the next device and perform the same steps.
+
+### Summary
+
+You prepared the devices for deployment by verifying that they have adequate system resources and that the resources in the devices have corresponding Windows 10 device drivers. You performed device deployment over the network or by using local MDT media. Next, you configured the appropriate printers on the devices. Finally, you verified that the devices are properly configured and ready for use.
+
+## Maintain Windows devices and Office 365
+
+After the initial deployment, you will need to perform certain tasks to maintain the Windows 10 devices and your Office 365 Education subscription. You should perform these tasks on the following schedule:
+
+- **Monthly.** These tasks help ensure that the devices are current with software updates and properly protected against viruses and malware.
+- **New semester or academic year.** Perform these tasks prior to the start of a new curriculum—for example, at the start of a new academic year or semester. These tasks help ensure that the classroom environments are ready for the next group of students.
+- **As required (ad hoc).** Perform these tasks as necessary in a classroom. For example, a new version of an app may be available, or a student may inadvertently corrupt a device so that you must restore it to the default configuration.
+
+Table 13 lists the school and individual classroom maintenance tasks, the resources for performing the tasks, and the schedule (or frequency) on which you should perform the tasks.
