# Quickstart: Deploy a single-app kiosk
<!-- Required: Article headline - H1
Identify the product or service and the feature area
the quickstart covers.
-->
[Introduce and explain the purpose of the article.]
<!-- Required: Introductory paragraphs (no heading)
Write a brief introduction that can help the user determine
whether the article is relevant for them. Begin with a
sentence that says, "In this quickstart, you . . . ."
-->
If you don't have a service subscription, create a free
trial account . . .
<!-- Required: Free account links (no heading)
Because quickstarts are intended to help new customers
use a product or service, include a link to a
free trial before the first H2.
-->
## Prerequisites
<!-- Required: Prerequisites - H2
"Prerequisites" must be the first H2 in the article.
List any items that are needed for the quickstart,
such as permissions or software.
If the user needs to sign in to a portal to do
the quickstart, provide instructions and a link.
If there aren't any prerequisites, in a new paragraph
under the "Prerequisites" H2, enter "None" in plain text
(not as a bulleted list item).
-->
## Open [Cloud Shell, Azure CLI, or PowerShell]
<!-- Optional: Open a demo environment - H2
If you want to refer to using Azure Cloud Shell,
the Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell, place the
instructions after the "Prerequisites" section.
Include Cloud Shell only if all commands can
run in Cloud Shell.
Use include files if they are available.
--->
## [verb] * [noun]
[Introduce a task and its role in completing the process.]
<!-- Required: Tasks to complete in the process - H2
In one or more numbered H2 sections, describe tasks that
the user completes in the process the quickstart describes.
-->
1. Procedure step
1. Procedure step
1. Procedure step
<!-- Required: Steps to complete the tasks - H2
Use ordered lists to describe how to complete tasks in
the process. Be consistent when you describe how to
use a method or tool to complete the task.
Code requires specific formatting. Here are a few useful
examples of commonly used code blocks. Make sure to
use the interactive functionality when possible.
For the CLI-based or PowerShell-based procedures,
don't use bullets or numbering.
Here is an example of a code block for Java:
```java
cluster = Cluster.build(new File("src/site.yaml")).create();
...
client = cluster.connect();
```
Here's a code block for the Azure CLI:
```azurecli-interactive
az vm create --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myVM
--image win2016datacenter --admin-username azureuser
--admin-password myPassword12
```
This is a code block for Azure PowerShell:
```azurepowershell-interactive
New-AzureRmContainerGroup -ResourceGroupName
myResourceGroup -Name mycontainer
-Image mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis:nanoserver
-OsType Windows -IpAddressType Public
```
-->
## Clean up resources
<!-- Optional: Steps to clean up resources - H2
Provide steps the user takes to clean up resources that
were created to complete the article.
-->
## Next step -or- Related content
> [!div class="nextstepaction"]
> [Next sequential article title](link.md)
-or-
- [Related article title](link.md)
- [Related article title](link.md)
- [Related article title](link.md)
<!-- Optional: Next step or Related content - H2
Consider adding one of these H2 sections (not both):
A "Next step" section that uses 1 link in a blue box
to point to a next, consecutive article in a sequence.
-or-
If the quickstart is not part of a sequence, use a
"Related content" section that lists links to
1 to 3 articles the user might find helpful.

title: Configure Take a Test in kiosk mode
description: Learn how to configure Windows to execute the Take a Test app in kiosk mode, using Intune and provisioning packages.
ms.date: 11/08/2023
ms.topic: how-to
---
# Configure Take a Test in kiosk mode
Executing Take a Test in kiosk mode is the recommended option for high stakes assessments, such as mid-term exams. In this mode, Windows will execute Take a Test in a lock-down mode, preventing the execution of any applications other than Take a Test. Students must sign in using a test-taking account.
The configuration of Take a Test in kiosk mode can be done using:
- Microsoft Intune/MDM
- a provisioning package (PPKG)
- PowerShell
- the Settings app
When using the Settings app, you can configure Take a Test in kiosk mode using a local account only. This option is recommended for devices that aren't managed.
The other options allow you to configure Take a Test in kiosk mode using a local account, an account defined in the directory, or a guest account.
> [!TIP]
> While you could create a single account in the directory to be the dedicated test-taking account, it is recommended to use a guest account. This way, you don't get into a scenario where the testing account is locked out due to bad password attempts or other factors.
>
> An additional benefit of using a guest account, is that your students don't have to type a password to access the test.
Follow the instructions below to configure your devices, selecting the option that best suits your needs.
#### [:::image type="icon" source="images/icons/intune.svg"::: **Intune**](#tab/intune)
You can use Intune for Education or a custom profile in Microsoft Intune:
- Intune for Education provides a simpler experience
- A custom profile provides more flexibility and controls over the configuration
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Currently, the policy created in Intune for Education is applicable to Windows 10 and Windows 11 only. **It will not apply to Windows 11 SE devices.**
>
> If you want to configure Take a Test for Windows 11 SE devices, you must use a custom policy.
### Configure Take a Test from Intune for Education
To configure devices using Intune for Education, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to the <a href="https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/" target="_blank"><b>Intune for Education portal</b></a>
1. Select **Groups** > Pick a group to configure Take a Test for
1. Select **Windows device settings**
1. Expand the **Take a Test profiles** category and select **+ Assign new Take a Test profile**
1. Specify a **Profile Name**, **Account Name**, **Assessment URL** and, optionally, **Description** and options allowed during the test
1. Select **Create and assign profile**

To create a provisioning package, you can either use Set up School PCs or Windows Configuration Designer:
- Set up School PCs provides a simpler, guided experience
- Windows Configuration Designer provides more flexibility and controls over the configuration
### Create a provisioning package using Set up School PCs
Create a provisioning package using the Set up School PCs app, configuring the settings in the **Set up the Take a Test app** page.

#### [:::image type="icon" source="images/icons/powershell.svg"::: **PowerShell**](#tab/powershell)
Configure your devices using PowerShell scripts via the [MDM Bridge WMI Provider](/windows/win32/dmwmibridgeprov/mdm-bridge-wmi-provider-portal). For more information, see [Using PowerShell scripting with the WMI Bridge Provider](/windows/client-management/mdm/using-powershell-scripting-with-the-wmi-bridge-provider).
> [!TIP]
> PowerShell scripts can be executed as scheduled tasks via Group Policy.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> For all device settings, the WMI Bridge client must be executed as SYSTEM (LocalSystem) account.
>
> To test a PowerShell script, you can:
> 1. [Download the psexec tool](/sysinternals/downloads/psexec)
> 1. Open an elevated command prompt and run: `psexec.exe -i -s powershell.exe`
> 1. Run the script in the PowerShell session
Edit the following sample PowerShell script to:
- Customize the assessment URL with **$testURL**
- Change the kiosk user tile name displayed in the sign-in screen with **$userTileName**

## How to use Take a Test in kiosk mode
Once the devices are configured, a new user tile will be available in the sign-in screen. If selected, Take a Test will be executed in kiosk mode using the guest account, opening the assessment URL.
## How to exit Take a Test
To exit the Take a Test app at any time, press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Delete</kbd>. You'll be prompted to sign out of the test-taking account, or return to the test. Once signed out, the device will be unlocked from kiosk mode and can be used as normal.
The following animation shows the process of signing in to the test-taking account, taking a test, and exiting the test:
