-
-# Collect data using Enterprise Site Discovery
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Use Internet Explorer to collect data on computers running Windows Internet Explorer 8 through Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7. This inventory information helps you build a list of websites used by your company so you can make more informed decisions about your IE deployments, including figuring out which sites might be at risk or require overhauls during future upgrades.
-
->**Upgrade Readiness and Windows upgrades**
->You can use Upgrade Readiness to help manage your Windows 10 upgrades on devices running Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (SP1). You can also use Upgrade Readiness to review several site discovery reports. For more information, see [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Readiness](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness).
-
-
-## Before you begin
-Before you start, you need to make sure you have the following:
-
-- Latest cumulative security update (for all supported versions of Internet Explorer):
-
- 1. Go to the [Microsoft Security Bulletin](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=718223) page, and change the filter to **Windows Internet Explorer 11**.
-
- 
-
- 2. Click the title of the latest cumulative security update, and then scroll down to the **Affected software** table.
-
- 
-
- 3. Click the link that represents both your operating system version and Internet Explorer 11, and then follow the instructions in the **How to get this update** section.
-
-- [Setup and configuration package](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=517719), including:
-
- - Configuration-related PowerShell scripts
-
- - IETelemetry.mof file
-
- - Sample System Center 2012 report templates
-
- You must use System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager or later for these samples to work.
-
-Both the PowerShell script and the Managed Object Format (.MOF) file need to be copied to the same location on the client device, before you run the scripts.
-
-## What data is collected?
-Data is collected on the configuration characteristics of IE and the sites it browses, as shown here.
-
-|Data point |IE11 |IE10 |IE9 |IE8 |Description |
-|------------------------|-----|-----|-----|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|URL | X | X | X | X |URL of the browsed site, including any parameters included in the URL. |
-|Domain | X | X | X | X |Top-level domain of the browsed site. |
-|ActiveX GUID | X | X | X | X |GUID of the ActiveX controls loaded by the site. |
-|Document mode | X | X | X | X |Document mode used by IE for a site, based on page characteristics. |
-|Document mode reason | X | X | | |The reason why a document mode was set by IE. |
-|Browser state reason | X | X | | |Additional information about why the browser is in its current state. Also called, browser mode. |
-|Hang count | X | X | X | X |Number of visits to the URL when the browser hung. |
-|Crash count | X | X | X | X |Number of visits to the URL when the browser crashed. |
-|Most recent navigation failure (and count) | X | X | X | X |Description of the most recent navigation failure (like, a 404 bad request or 500 internal server error) and the number of times it happened. |
-|Number of visits | X | X | X | X |Number of times a site has been visited. |
-|Zone | X | X | X | X |Zone used by IE to browse sites, based on browser settings. |
-
-
->**Important** By default, IE doesn’t collect this data; you have to turn this feature on if you want to use it. After you turn on this feature, data is collected on all sites visited by IE, except during InPrivate sessions. Additionally, the data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
-
-### Understanding the returned reason codes
-The following tables provide more info about the Document mode reason, Browser state reason, and the Zone codes that are returned as part of your data collection.
-
-#### DocMode reason
-The codes in this table can tell you what document mode was set by IE for a webpage. These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|3 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_DOCUMENT_COMPATIBLE_MODE` feature control key.|
-|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible meta tag. |
-|5 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible HTTP header. |
-|6 |Page appears on an active **Compatibility View** list. |
-|7 |Page is using native XML parsing. |
-|8 |Page is using a special Quirks Mode Emulation (QME) mode that uses the modern layout engine, but the quirks behavior of Internet Explorer 5. |
-|9 |Page state is set by the browser mode and the page's DOCTYPE.|
-
-#### Browser state reason
-The codes in this table can tell you why the browser is in its current state. Also called “browser mode”. These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|1 |Site is on the intranet, with the **Display intranet sites in Compatibility View** box checked. |
-|2 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created in Group Policy. |
-|3 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created by the user. |
-|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible tag. |
-|5 |Page state is set by the **Developer** toolbar. |
-|6 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION` feature control key. |
-|7 |Site appears on the Microsoft **Compatibility View (CV)** list. |
-|8 |Site appears on the **Quirks** list, created in Group Policy. |
-|11 |Site is using the default browser. |
-
-#### Zone
-The codes in this table can tell you what zone is being used by IE to browse sites, based on browser settings. These codes apply to Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|-1 |Internet Explorer is using an invalid zone. |
-|0 |Internet Explorer is using the Local machine zone. |
-|1 |Internet Explorer is using the Local intranet zone. |
-|2 |Internet Explorer is using the Trusted sites zone. |
-|3 |Internet Explorer is using the Internet zone. |
-|4 |Internet Explorer is using the Restricted sites zone. |
-
-## Where is the data stored and how do I collect it?
-The data is stored locally, in an industry-standard WMI class, .MOF file or in an XML file, depending on your configuration. This file remains on the client computer until it’s collected. To collect the files, we recommend:
-
-- **WMI file**. Use Microsoft Configuration Manager or any agent that can read the contents of a WMI class on your computer.
-
-- **XML file**. Any agent that works with XML can be used.
-
-## WMI Site Discovery suggestions
-We recommend that you collect your data for at most a month at a time, to capture a user’s typical workflow. We don’t recommend collecting data longer than that because the data is stored in a WMI provider and can fill up your computer’s hard drive. You may also want to collect data only for pilot users or a representative sample of people, instead of turning this feature on for everyone in your company.
-
-On average, a website generates about 250bytes of data for each visit, causing only a minor impact to Internet Explorer’s performance. Over the course of a month, collecting data from 20 sites per day from 1,000 users, you’ll get about 150MB of data:
250 bytes (per site visit) X 20 sites/day X 30 days = (approximately) 150KB X 1000 users = (approximately) 150MB
-
->**Important** The data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
-
-## Getting ready to use Enterprise Site Discovery
-Before you can start to collect your data, you must run the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) on your client devices to start generating the site discovery data and to set up a place to store this data locally. Then, you must start collecting the site discovery data from the client devices, using one of these three options:
-
-- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor, while connecting to a client device.
--OR-
-- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor with a .MOF import file.
--OR-
-- Collect your hardware inventory using the SMS\DEF.MOF file (System Center Configuration Manager 2007 only)
-
-### WMI only: Running the PowerShell script to compile the .MOF file and to update security privileges
-You need to set up your computers for data collection by running the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) to compile the .mof file and to update security privileges for the new WMI classes.
-
->**Important** You must run this script if you’re using WMI as your data output. It's not necessary if you're using XML as your data output.
-
-**To set up Enterprise Site Discovery**
-
-- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 by by-passing the PowerShell execution policy, using this command: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass .\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1`. For more info, see [about Execution Policies](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=517460).
-
-### WMI only: Set up your firewall for WMI data
-If you choose to use WMI as your data output, you need to make sure that your WMI data can travel through your firewall for the domain. If you’re sure, you can skip this section; otherwise, follow these steps:
-
-**To set up your firewall**
-
-1. In **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **Windows Firewall**.
-
-2. In the left pane, click **Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall** and scroll down to check the box for **Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)**.
-
-3. Restart your computer to start collecting your WMI data.
-
-## Use PowerShell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
-You can determine which zones or domains are used for data collection, using PowerShell. If you don’t want to use PowerShell, you can do this using Group Policy. For more info, see [Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-group-policy-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
-
->**Important** The .ps1 file updates turn on Enterprise Site Discovery and WMI collection for all users on a device.
-
-- **Domain allow list.** If you have a domain allow list, a comma-separated list of domains that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
-
-- **Zone allow list.** If you have a zone allow list, a comma-separated list of zones that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
-
-**To set up data collection using a domain allow list**
-
- - Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -SiteAllowList sharepoint.com,outlook.com,onedrive.com`.
-
- >**Important** Wildcards, like \*.microsoft.com, aren’t supported.
-
-**To set up data collection using a zone allow list**
-
- - Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -ZoneAllowList Computer,Intranet,TrustedSites,Internet,RestrictedSites`.
-
- >**Important** Only Computer, Intranet, TrustedSites, Internet, and RestrictedSites are supported.
-
-## Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
-You can use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery. If you don’t want to use Group Policy, you can do this using PowerShell. For more info, see [Use Powershell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-powershell-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
-
->**Note** All of the Group Policy settings can be used individually or as a group.
-
- **To set up Enterprise Site Discovery using Group Policy**
-
-- Open your Group Policy editor, and go to these new settings:
-
- |Setting name and location |Description |Options |

+
+# Collect data using Enterprise Site Discovery
+
+**Applies to:**
+
+- Windows 10
+- Windows 8.1
+- Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
+
+Use Internet Explorer to collect data on computers running Windows Internet Explorer 8 through Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7. This inventory information helps you build a list of websites used by your company so you can make more informed decisions about your IE deployments, including figuring out which sites might be at risk or require overhauls during future upgrades.
+
+>**Upgrade Readiness and Windows upgrades**
+>You can use Upgrade Readiness to help manage your Windows 10 upgrades on devices running Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (SP1). You can also use Upgrade Readiness to review several site discovery reports. For more information, see [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Readiness](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness).
+
+
+## Before you begin
+Before you start, you need to make sure you have the following:
+
+- Latest cumulative security update (for all supported versions of Internet Explorer):
+
+ 1. Go to the [Microsoft Security Bulletin](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=718223) page, and change the filter to **Windows Internet Explorer 11**.
+
+ 
+
+ 2. Click the title of the latest cumulative security update, and then scroll down to the **Affected software** table.
+
+ 
+
+ 3. Click the link that represents both your operating system version and Internet Explorer 11, and then follow the instructions in the **How to get this update** section.
+
+- [Setup and configuration package](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=517719), including:
+
+ - Configuration-related PowerShell scripts
+
+ - IETelemetry.mof file
+
+ - Sample System Center 2012 report templates
+
+ You must use System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager or later for these samples to work.
+
+Both the PowerShell script and the Managed Object Format (.MOF) file need to be copied to the same location on the client device, before you run the scripts.
+
+## What data is collected?
+Data is collected on the configuration characteristics of IE and the sites it browses, as shown here.
+
+|Data point |IE11 |IE10 |IE9 |IE8 |Description |
+|------------------------|-----|-----|-----|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+|URL | X | X | X | X |URL of the browsed site, including any parameters included in the URL. |
+|Domain | X | X | X | X |Top-level domain of the browsed site. |
+|ActiveX GUID | X | X | X | X |GUID of the ActiveX controls loaded by the site. |
+|Document mode | X | X | X | X |Document mode used by IE for a site, based on page characteristics. |
+|Document mode reason | X | X | | |The reason why a document mode was set by IE. |
+|Browser state reason | X | X | | |Additional information about why the browser is in its current state. Also called, browser mode. |
+|Hang count | X | X | X | X |Number of visits to the URL when the browser hung. |
+|Crash count | X | X | X | X |Number of visits to the URL when the browser crashed. |
+|Most recent navigation failure (and count) | X | X | X | X |Description of the most recent navigation failure (like, a 404 bad request or 500 internal server error) and the number of times it happened. |
+|Number of visits | X | X | X | X |Number of times a site has been visited. |
+|Zone | X | X | X | X |Zone used by IE to browse sites, based on browser settings. |
+
+
+>**Important** By default, IE doesn’t collect this data; you have to turn this feature on if you want to use it. After you turn on this feature, data is collected on all sites visited by IE, except during InPrivate sessions. Additionally, the data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
+
+### Understanding the returned reason codes
+The following tables provide more info about the Document mode reason, Browser state reason, and the Zone codes that are returned as part of your data collection.
+
+#### DocMode reason
+The codes in this table can tell you what document mode was set by IE for a webpage. These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
+
+|Code |Description |
+|-----|------------|
+|3 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_DOCUMENT_COMPATIBLE_MODE` feature control key.|
+|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible meta tag. |
+|5 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible HTTP header. |
+|6 |Page appears on an active **Compatibility View** list. |
+|7 |Page is using native XML parsing. |
+|8 |Page is using a special Quirks Mode Emulation (QME) mode that uses the modern layout engine, but the quirks behavior of Internet Explorer 5. |
+|9 |Page state is set by the browser mode and the page's DOCTYPE.|
+
+#### Browser state reason
+The codes in this table can tell you why the browser is in its current state. Also called “browser mode”. These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
+
+|Code |Description |
+|-----|------------|
+|1 |Site is on the intranet, with the **Display intranet sites in Compatibility View** box checked. |
+|2 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created in Group Policy. |
+|3 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created by the user. |
+|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible tag. |
+|5 |Page state is set by the **Developer** toolbar. |
+|6 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION` feature control key. |
+|7 |Site appears on the Microsoft **Compatibility View (CV)** list. |
+|8 |Site appears on the **Quirks** list, created in Group Policy. |
+|11 |Site is using the default browser. |
+
+#### Zone
+The codes in this table can tell you what zone is being used by IE to browse sites, based on browser settings. These codes apply to Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 11.
+
+|Code |Description |
+|-----|------------|
+|-1 |Internet Explorer is using an invalid zone. |
+|0 |Internet Explorer is using the Local machine zone. |
+|1 |Internet Explorer is using the Local intranet zone. |
+|2 |Internet Explorer is using the Trusted sites zone. |
+|3 |Internet Explorer is using the Internet zone. |
+|4 |Internet Explorer is using the Restricted sites zone. |
+
+## Where is the data stored and how do I collect it?
+The data is stored locally, in an industry-standard WMI class, .MOF file or in an XML file, depending on your configuration. This file remains on the client computer until it’s collected. To collect the files, we recommend:
+
+- **WMI file**. Use Microsoft Configuration Manager or any agent that can read the contents of a WMI class on your computer.
+
+- **XML file**. Any agent that works with XML can be used.
+
+## WMI Site Discovery suggestions
+We recommend that you collect your data for at most a month at a time, to capture a user’s typical workflow. We don’t recommend collecting data longer than that because the data is stored in a WMI provider and can fill up your computer’s hard drive. You may also want to collect data only for pilot users or a representative sample of people, instead of turning this feature on for everyone in your company.
+
+On average, a website generates about 250bytes of data for each visit, causing only a minor impact to Internet Explorer’s performance. Over the course of a month, collecting data from 20 sites per day from 1,000 users, you’ll get about 150MB of data:
250 bytes (per site visit) X 20 sites/day X 30 days = (approximately) 150KB X 1000 users = (approximately) 150MB
+
+>**Important** The data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
+
+## Getting ready to use Enterprise Site Discovery
+Before you can start to collect your data, you must run the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) on your client devices to start generating the site discovery data and to set up a place to store this data locally. Then, you must start collecting the site discovery data from the client devices, using one of these three options:
+
+- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor, while connecting to a client device.
+-OR-
+- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor with a .MOF import file.
+-OR-
+- Collect your hardware inventory using the SMS\DEF.MOF file (System Center Configuration Manager 2007 only)
+
+### WMI only: Running the PowerShell script to compile the .MOF file and to update security privileges
+You need to set up your computers for data collection by running the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) to compile the .mof file and to update security privileges for the new WMI classes.
+
+>**Important** You must run this script if you’re using WMI as your data output. It's not necessary if you're using XML as your data output.
+
+**To set up Enterprise Site Discovery**
+
+- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 by by-passing the PowerShell execution policy, using this command: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass .\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1`. For more info, see [about Execution Policies](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=517460).
+
+### WMI only: Set up your firewall for WMI data
+If you choose to use WMI as your data output, you need to make sure that your WMI data can travel through your firewall for the domain. If you’re sure, you can skip this section; otherwise, follow these steps:
+
+**To set up your firewall**
+
+1. In **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **Windows Firewall**.
+
+2. In the left pane, click **Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall** and scroll down to check the box for **Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)**.
+
+3. Restart your computer to start collecting your WMI data.
+
+## Use PowerShell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
+You can determine which zones or domains are used for data collection, using PowerShell. If you don’t want to use PowerShell, you can do this using Group Policy. For more info, see [Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-group-policy-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
+
+>**Important** The .ps1 file updates turn on Enterprise Site Discovery and WMI collection for all users on a device.
+
+- **Domain allow list.** If you have a domain allow list, a comma-separated list of domains that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
+
+- **Zone allow list.** If you have a zone allow list, a comma-separated list of zones that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
+
+**To set up data collection using a domain allow list**
+
+- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -SiteAllowList sharepoint.com,outlook.com,onedrive.com`.
+
+ >**Important** Wildcards, like \*.microsoft.com, aren’t supported.
+
+**To set up data collection using a zone allow list**
+
+- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -ZoneAllowList Computer,Intranet,TrustedSites,Internet,RestrictedSites`.
+
+ >**Important** Only Computer, Intranet, TrustedSites, Internet, and RestrictedSites are supported.
+
+## Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
+You can use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery. If you don’t want to use Group Policy, you can do this using PowerShell. For more info, see [Use Powershell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-powershell-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
+
+>**Note** All of the Group Policy settings can be used individually or as a group.
+
+ **To set up Enterprise Site Discovery using Group Policy**
+
+- Open your Group Policy editor, and go to these new settings:
+
+ |Setting name and location |Description |Options |
+ |---------------------------|-------------|---------|
+ |Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Turn on Site Discovery WMI output |Writes collected data to a WMI class, which can be aggregated using a client-management solution like Configuration Manager. |

+# Navigate the Windows Mixed Reality home
+
+## [Navigating MR Home](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/navigating-the-windows-mixed-reality-home)
+
+## Use the Start menu
+
+The **Start** menu on HoloLens is where you'll open apps and get to the HoloLens camera.
+
+Wherever you are in HoloLens, you can always open the **Start** menu by using the [bloom gesture](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12644/hololens-use-gestures) on HoloLens (1st gen) or tapping your wrist on HoloLens 2. Usually, you'll use it once to get to **Start**, but sometimes you might need to use it twice.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> When the **Start** menu is open, use the start gesture to hide it again.
+
+At the top of the **Start** menu, you'll see status indicators for Wi-Fi, battery, and volume, plus a clock. The tiles are your pinned apps. To talk to Cortana, select her tile, or just say "Hey Cortana" from anywhere on HoloLens. At the bottom you'll find the photo and video icons, which open the camera app.
+
+To see the rest of your apps, select **All apps**. To get back to **Start** from the **All apps** list, select **Pinned apps**.
+
+## Use apps on HoloLens
+
+Apps on HoloLens use either 2D view or holographic view. Apps with 2D view look like windows, and apps with holographic view surround you and become the only app you see.
+
+### Open apps
+
+You'll find your apps either pinned to **Start** or in the **All apps** list. To get to the **All apps** list, use the bloom gesture to go to **Start**, then select **All apps**.
+
+On **Start** or in the **All apps** list, select an app. It will open in a good position for viewing.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>- Up to three 2D app windows can be active at a time. You can open more, but only three will remain active.
+>- Each open app can have one active window at a time, except Microsoft Edge, which can have up to three.
+>- If you're having problems with apps, make sure there's enough light in your space, and walk around so HoloLens has a current scan. If you keep having trouble, see [HoloLens and holograms: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/13456/hololens-and-holograms-faq) for more info.
+
+## Move, resize, and rotate apps
+
+Moving and resizing apps on HoloLens works a bit differently than it does on a PC. Instead of dragging the app, you'll use your gaze, along with a [gesture](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12644/hololens-use-gestures) or the [clicker](hololens-clicker.md). You can also rotate an app window in 3D space.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Rearrange apps using your voice—gaze at an app and say "Face me," "Bigger," or "Smaller." Or have Cortana move an app for you: say "Hey Cortana, move <*app name*> here."
+
+### Move an app
+
+Gaze at the app, and then do one of the following.
+
+- Tap and hold to select the app. Move your hand to position the app, and raise your finger to place it.
+
+- Select **Adjust**, tap and hold, and move your hand to position the app. Raise your finger to place it, then select **Done**.
+- Select **Adjust**, click and hold the clicker, and move your hand to position the app. Release the clicker, then select **Done**.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you drop apps when you move them, make sure to keep your hand in the gesture frame by following it with your gaze.
+
+### Resize an app
+
+Gaze at the app, and then do one of the following.
+
+- Gaze at a corner or edge of an app window, and tap and hold. Move your hand to change the app's size, and raise your finger when you're done.
+
+- Select **Adjust**. Gaze at one of the blue squares at the corners of the app, tap and hold, then move your hand to resize the app. Raise your finger to release it, then select **Done**.
+- Select **Adjust**. Gaze at one of the blue squares at the corners of the app, click and hold the clicker, then move your hand to resize the app. Release the clicker, then select **Done**.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> In Adjust mode, you can move or resize any hologram.
+
+### Rotate an app
+
+Gaze at the app, and tap and hold with both hands to select it. Rotate the app by keeping one hand steady and moving your other hand around it. When you're done, raise both index fingers.
+
+## Close apps
+
+To close an app that uses 2D view, gaze at it, then select **Close**.
+
+To close an app that uses holographic view, use the bloom gesture to leave holographic view, then select **Close**.
+
+## Pin apps
+
+Keep your favorite apps handy by pinning them to **Start**. In the **All apps** list, gaze at an app to highlight it. Tap and hold until the menu appears, then select **Pin**. To unpin an app, gaze at the app on **Start**, then tap and hold and select **Unpin**.

+# Connect devices and accessories
+
+## Pair Bluetooth devices
+
+Pair a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with HoloLens, then use them to interact with holograms and to type anywhere you'd use the holographic keyboard. Pair the HoloLens [clicker](hololens-clicker.md) for a different way to interact with HoloLens.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Other types of Bluetooth devices, such as speakers, headsets, smartphones, and game pads, may appear as available in HoloLens settings, but aren't supported. [Learn more](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=746660).
+
+### Pair a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse
+
+1. Turn on your keyboard or mouse and make it discoverable. The way you make it discoverable depends on the device. Check the device or visit the manufacturer's website to learn how.
+
+1. Go to **Start**, then select **Settings**.
+1. Select **Devices** and make sure Bluetooth is on. When you see the device name, select **Pair** and follow the instructions.
+
+### Pair the clicker
+
+1. Use the bloom gesture to go to **Start**, then select **Settings**.
+
+1. Select **Devices** and make sure Bluetooth is on.
+1. Use the tip of a pen to press and hold the clicker's pairing button until the status light blinks white. Make sure to hold the button down until the light starts blinking. [Where's the pairing button?](hololens-clicker.md)
+1. On the pairing screen, select **Clicker** > **Pair**.

-# Cortana on HoloLens
+# Use your voice with HoloLens
+
+You can use your voice to do many of the same things you do with gestures on HoloLens, like taking a quick photo or opening an app.
+
+## Voice commands
+
+Get around HoloLens faster with these basic commands. If you turn Cortana off, "Hey Cortana" voice commands won't be available, but you'll still be able to use the following built-in voice commands.
+
+**Select**. Use this instead of air tap. Gaze at a hologram, then say "Select."
+
+**Go to start**. Say "Go to Start" anytime to bring up the **Start** menu. Or when you're in an immersive app, say "Go to Start" to get to the quick actions menu.
+
+**Move this**. Instead of air tapping and dragging an app, say "Move this" and use gaze to move it.
+
+**Face me**. Gaze at a hologram, and then say "Face me" to turn it your way.
+
+**Bigger/Smaller**. Gaze at a hologram, and then say "Bigger" or "Smaller" to resize it.
+
+Many buttons and other elements on HoloLens also respond to your voice—for example, **Adjust** and **Close** on the app bar. To find out if a button is voice-enabled, rest your gaze on it for a moment. If it is, you'll see a voice tip.
+
+## Dictation mode
+
+Tired of typing? Switch to dictation mode any time the holographic keyboard is active. Select the microphone icon to get started, or say "Start dictating." To stop dictating, select **Done** or say "Stop dictating." To delete what you just dictated, say "Delete that."
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You need an Internet connection to use dictation mode.
+
+HoloLens dictation uses explicit punctuation, meaning that you say the name of the punctuation you want to use. For instance, you might say "Hey **comma** what are you up to **question mark**."
+
+Here are the punctuation keywords you can use:
+
+- Period, comma, question mark, exclamation point/exclamation mark
+- New line/new paragraph
+- Semicolon, colon
+- Open quote(s), close quote(s)
+- Hashtag, smiley/smiley face, frowny, winky
+- Dollar, percent
+
+Sometimes it's helpful to spell out things like email addresses. For instance, to dictate example@outlook.com, you'd say "E X A M P L E at outlook dot com."
+
+## Do more with Cortana
Cortana can help you do all kinds of things on your HoloLens, from searching the web to shutting down your device. To get her attention, select Cortana on Start or say "Hey Cortana" anytime.

-# Microsoft HoloLens in the enterprise: requirements and FAQ
+# Deploy HoloLens in a commercial environment
-When you develop for HoloLens, there are [system requirements and tools](https://developer.microsoft.com/windows/mixed-reality/install_the_tools) that you need. In an enterprise environment, there are also a few requirements to use and manage HoloLens which are listed below.
+TODO - [Commercial features](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/commercial-features)
-## Requirements
+Deploy and configure HoloLens at scale in a commercial setting.
-### General use
-- Microsoft account or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account
-- Wi-Fi network to set up HoloLens
+This article includes:
->[!NOTE]
->After you set up HoloLens, you can use it offline [with some limitations](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12645/hololens-use-hololens-offline).
+- infrastructure requirements and recommendations for HoloLens management
+- tools for provisioning HoloLens
+- instructions for remote device management
+- options for application deployment
+This guide assumes basic familiarity with HoloLens. Follow the [get started guide](./hololens-setup.md) to set up HoloLens for the first time.
+
+## Infrastructure for managing HoloLens
+
+HoloLens are, at their core, a Windows mobile device integrated with Azure. They work best in commercial environments with wireless network availability (wi-fi) and access to Microsoft services.
+
+Critical cloud services include:
+
+- Azure active directory (AAD)
+- Windows Update (WU)
+
+Commercial customers will need enterprise mobility management (EMM) or mobile device management (MDM) infrastructure in order to manage HoloLens devices at scale. This guide uses [Microsoft Intune](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/enterprise-mobility-security/microsoft-intune) as an example though any provider with full support for Microsoft Policy can support HoloLens. Ask your mobile device management provider if they support HoloLens 2.
+
+HoloLens does support a limited set of cloud disconnected experiences.
+
+## Initial set up at scale
+
+The HoloLens out of box experience is great for setting up one or two devices or for experiencing HoloLens for the first time. If you're provisioning many HoloLens devices, however, picking your language and settings manually for each device gets tedious and limits scale.
+
+This section:
+
+1. introduces Windows provisioning using provisioning packages
+1. walks through applying a provisioning package during first setup
+
+### Create and apply a provisioning package
+
+The best way to configure many new HoloLens devices is with Windows provisioning. Using Windows provisioning, you can specify desired configuration and settings required to enroll the devices into management and then apply that configuration to target devices in minutes.
+
+A [provisioning package](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-packages) (.ppkg) is a collection of configuration settings. With Windows 10, you can create provisioning packages that let you quickly and efficiently configure a device.
+
+### Upgrade to Windows Holographic for Business
+
+- HoloLens Enterprise license XML file
+
+Some of the HoloLens configurations that you can apply in a provisioning package:
+
+- Apply certificates to the device
+- Set up a Wi-Fi connection
+- Pre-configure out of box questions like language and locale.
+- (HoloLens 2) bulk enroll in mobile device management
+- (HoloLens v1) Apply key to enable Windows Holographic for Business
+
+Follow [this guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/hololens/hololens-provisioning) to create and apply a provisioning package to HoloLens.
+
+### Set up user identity and enroll in device management
+
+The last step setting up HoloLens for management at scale is to enroll devices with mobile device management infrastructure. There are several ways to enroll:
+
+1. Bulk enrollment with a security token in a provisioning package.
+ Pros: this is the most automated approach
+ Cons: takes initial server-side setup
+1. Auto-enroll on user sign in
+ Pros: easiest approach
+ Cons: users will need to complete set up after the provisioning package has been applied
+1. _not recommended_ - Manually enroll post-setup
+ Pros: possible to enroll after set up
+ Cons: most manual approach and devices aren't centrally manageable until they're manually enrolled.
+
+Learn more about MDM enrollment [here](hololens-enroll-mdm.md).
+
+## Ongoing device management
+
+Ongoing device management will depend on your mobile device management infrastructure. Most have the same general functionality but the user interface may vary widely.
+
+This article outlines [policies and capabilities HoloLens supports](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/configuration-service-provider-reference#hololens).
+
+[This article](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/windows-holographic-for-business) talks about Intune's management tools for HoloLens.
+
+### Push compliance policy via Intune
+
+[Compliance policies](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/device-compliance-get-started) are rules and settings that devices must meet to be compliant in your corporate infrastructure. Use these policies with Conditional Access to block access to company resources for devices that are not-compliant.
+
+For example, you can create a policy that requires Bitlocker be enabled.
+
+[Create compliance policies with Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/compliance-policy-create-windows).
+
+### Manage updates
+
+Intune includes a feature called update rings for Windows 10 devices, including HoloLens 2 and HoloLens v1 (with Holographic for Business). Update rings include a group of settings that determine how and when updates are installed.
+
+For example, you can create a maintenance window to install updates, or choose to restart after updates are installed. You can also choose to pause updates indefinitely until you're ready to update.
+
+Read more about [configuring update rings with Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/windows-update-for-business-configure).
+
+## Application management
+
+Manage holoLens applications through:
+
+1. Microsoft Store
+ The Microsoft Store is the best way to distribute and consume application on HoloLens. There is a great set of core HoloLens applications already available in the store or you can [publish your own](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/).
+ All applications in the store are available publicly to everyone, if that isn't acceptable, checkout the Microsoft Store for Business.
+
+1. [Microsoft Store for Business](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-store/)
+ Microsoft Store for Business and Education is a custom store for your corporate environment. It lets you use the Microsoft Store built into Windows 10 and HoloLens to find, acquire, distribute, and manage apps for your organization. It lets you deploy apps that are specific to your commercial environment but not to the world.
+
+1. Application deployment and management via Intune or another mobile device management solution
+ Most mobile device management solutions, including Intune, provide a way to deploy line of business applications directly to a set of enrolled devices. See this article for [Intune app install](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/apps-deploy).
+
+1. _not recommended_ Device Portal
+ Applications can also be installed on HoloLens directly using the Windows Device Portal. This isn't recommended since Developer Mode has to be enabled to use device portal.
+
+Read more about [installing apps on HoloLens](https://docs.microsoft.com/hololens/hololens-install-apps).

-## FAQ for HoloLens
-
-
-#### Is Windows Hello for Business supported on HoloLens?
-
-Windows Hello for Business (using a PIN to sign in) is supported for HoloLens. To allow Windows Hello for Business PIN sign-in on HoloLens:
-
-1. The HoloLens device must be [managed by MDM](hololens-enroll-mdm.md).
-2. You must enable Windows Hello for Business for the device. ([See instructions for Microsoft Intune.](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/windows-hello))
-3. On HoloLens, the user can then set up a PIN from **Settings** > **Sign-in Options** > **Add PIN**.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Users who sign in with a Microsoft account can also set up a PIN in **Settings** > **Sign-in Options** > **Add PIN**. This PIN is associated with [Windows Hello](https://support.microsoft.com/help/17215/windows-10-what-is-hello), rather than [Windows Hello for Business](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-overview).
-
-#### Does the type of account change the sign-in behavior?
-
-Yes, the behavior for the type of account impacts the sign-in behavior. If you apply policies for sign-in, the policy is always respected. If no policy for sign-in is applied, these are the default behaviors for each account type.
-
-- Microsoft account: signs in automatically
-- Local account: always asks for password, not configurable in **Settings**
-- Azure AD: asks for password by default; configurable by **Settings** to no longer ask for password.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Inactivity timers are currently not supported, which means that the **AllowIdleReturnWithoutPassword** policy is respected only when the device goes into StandBy.
-
-
-#### How do I remove a HoloLens device from the Intune dashboard?
-
-You cannot [unenroll](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune-user-help/unenroll-your-device-from-intune-windows) HoloLens from Intune remotely. If the administrator unenrolls the device using MDM, the device will age out of the Intune dashboard.

+# Set up HoloLens for the first time
+
+The first time you turn on your HoloLens, you'll be guided through calibrating your device, setting up your device, and signing in. This section walks through the HoloLens (1st gen) first start experience.
+
+In the next section, you'll learn how to work with HoloLens and interact with holograms. Skip ahead to [Get started with HoloLens (1st gen)](holographic-home.md)
+
+## Before you start
+
+Before you get started, make sure you have the following available:
+
+**A Wi-Fi connection**. You'll need to connect your HoloLens to a Wi-Fi network to set it up. The first time you connect, you'll need an open or password-protected network that doesn't require navigating to a website or using certificates to connect. After setup, you can [use your device offline](hololens-offline.md).
+
+**A Microsoft account**. You'll also need to sign in to HoloLens with a Microsoft account (or with your work account, if your organization owns the device). If you don't have a Microsoft account, go to [account.microsoft.com](http://account.microsoft.com) and set one up for free.
+
+**A safe, well-lit space with no tripping hazards**. [Health and safety info](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=746661).
+
+**The optional comfort accessories** that came with your HoloLens, to help you get the most comfortable fit. [More on fit and comfort](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12632/hololens-fit-your-hololens).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> [Cortana](hololens-cortana.md) is already on and ready to guide you the first time you use your HoloLens (though she won't be able to respond to your questions until after you set up your device). You can turn Cortana off at any time in Cortana's settings.
+
+## Set up your HoloLens
+
+Set up your HoloLens and your user account.
+
+1. The first time you use your HoloLens, you'll be guided through connecting to a Wi-Fi network. If you have trouble connecting to Wi-Fi during setup, make sure your network is either open, password protected, or a captive portal network and doesn't require using certificates to connect. After setup, you can connect to other types of Wi-Fi networks.
+1. Sign in to your user account. You'll choose between **My work or school owns it** and **I own it**.
+ - When you choose **My work or school owns it**, you sign in by using an Azure AD account. If your organization uses Azure AD Premium and has configured automatic MDM enrollment, HoloLens will be enrolled in MDM. If your organization does not use Azure AD Premium, automatic MDM enrollment isn't available, so you will need to [enroll HoloLens in device management manually](hololens-enroll-mdm.md#enroll-through-settings-app).
+ 1. Enter your organizational account information.
+ 1. Accept the privacy statement.
+ 1. Sign in by using your Azure AD credentials. This may redirect to your organization's sign-in page.
+ 1. Continue with device setup.
+ - When you choose **I own it**, you sign in by using a Microsoft account. After setup is complete, you can [enroll HoloLens in device management manually](hololens-enroll-mdm.md#enroll-through-settings-app).
+ 1. Enter your Microsoft account information.
+ 1. Enter your password. If your Microsoft account requires [two-step verification (2FA)](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/microsoft_blog/2013/04/17/microsoft-account-gets-more-secure/), complete the verification process.
+1. The device sets your time zone based on information obtained from the Wi-Fi network.
+1. Follow the first-start guides to learn how to interact with holograms, control the HoloLens with your voice, and access the start menu.
+
+Congratulations! Setup is complete and you can begin using HoloLens.

+# Deploy the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices
Although Surface devices are typically automatically updated with the latest device drivers and firmware via Windows Update, sometimes it's necessary to download and install updates manually, such as during a Windows deployment.
-## Downloading MSI files
+## Download MSI files
To download MSI files, refer to the following Microsoft Support page:
- [Download drivers and firmware for Surface](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4023482/surface-download-drivers-and-firmware-for-surface)
Installation files for administrative tools, drivers for accessories, and updates for Windows are also available for some devices.
## Deploying MSI files
-Driver and firmware updates for Surface devices containing all required cumulative updates are packaged in separate MSI files for specific versions of Windows 10.
-In the name of each of these files you will find a Windows build number, this number indicates the minimum supported build required to install the drivers and firmware contained within. Refer to [Windows 10 release information](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/windows-10/release-information) for a list of the build numbers for each version. For example, to install the drivers contained in SurfacePro6_Win10_16299_1900307_0.msi file you must have Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709, or newer installed on your Surface Pro 6.
+Driver and firmware updates for Surface devices consisting of all required cumulative updates are packaged in separate MSI files for specific versions of Windows 10.
+The MSI file names contain useful information including the minimum supported Windows build number required to install the drivers and firmware. For example, to install the drivers contained in SurfaceBook_Win10_17763_19.080.2031.0.msi requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709 or later installed on your Surface Book.
+
+To view build numbers for each version, refer to [Windows 10 release information](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/windows-10/release-information).
### Surface MSI naming convention
-Each .MSI file is named in accordance with a formula that begins with the product and Windows release information, followed by the Windows build number and version number, and ending with the revision of version number. SurfacePro6_Win10_16299_1900307_0.msi is classified as follows:
+Beginning in August 2019, MSI files use the following naming formula:
+
+- Product > Windows release > Windows build number > Version number > Revision of version number (typically zero).
+
+**Example:**
+SurfacePro6_Win10_18362_19.073.44195_0.msi :
+
+| Product | Windows release | Build | Version | Revision of version |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| SurfacePro6 | Win10 | 18362 | 19.073.44195 | 0 |

+| | | | **19:** Signifies the year (2019). **073**: Signifies the month (July) and week of the release (3). **44195**: Signifies the minute of the month that the MSI file was created. |**0:** Signifies it's the first release of version 1907344195 and has not been re-released for any reason. |
+
+### Legacy Surface MSI naming convention
+Legacy MSI files prior to August 2019 followed the same overall naming formula but used a different method to derive the version number.

+# Optimizing wireless connectivity for Surface devices
+
+## Introduction
+
+To stay connected with all-day battery life, Surface devices implement wireless connectivity settings that balance performance and power conservation. Outside of the most demanding mobility scenarios, users can maintain sufficient wireless connectivity without modifying default network adapter or related settings.
+
+In congested network environments, organizations can implement purpose-built wireless protocols across multiple network access points to facilitate roaming. This page highlights key wireless connectivity considerations in mobile scenarios utilizing Surface Pro 3 and later, Surface Book, Surface Laptop, and Surface Go.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This document assumes you have successfully deployed a wireless network that supports 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) or later in accordance with best practice recommendations from leading equipment vendors.
+
+## Configuring access points for optimal roaming capabilities
+
+If you’re managing a wireless network that’s typically accessed by many different types of client devices, it’s recommended to enable specific protocols on access points (APs) in your WLAN, as described in [Fast Roaming with 802.11k, 802.11v, and 802.11r](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/fast-roaming-with-802-11k--802-11v--and-802-11r). Surface devices can take advantage of the following wireless protocols:
+
+- **802.11r.** “**Fast BSS Transition”** accelerates connecting to new wireless access points by reducing the number of frames required before your device can access another AP as you move around with your device.
+- **802.11k.** **“Neighbor Reports”** provides devices with information on current conditions at neighboring access points. It can help your Surface device choose the best AP using criteria other than signal strength such as AP utilization.
+
+Surface Go devices can also use 802.11v “BSS Transition Management Frames,” which functions much like 802.11k in providing information on nearby candidate APs.
+
+## Managing user settings
+
+You can achieve optimal roaming capabilities through a well-designed network that supports 802.11r and 802.11k across all access points. Ensuring that your network is properly configured to provide users with the best wireless experience is the recommended approach versus attempting to manage user settings on individual devices. Moreover, in many corporate environments Surface device users won’t be able to access advanced network adapter settings without explicit permissions or local admin rights. In other lightly managed networks, users can benefit by knowing how specific settings can impact their ability to remain connected.
+
+### Recommended user settings and best practices
+
+In certain situations, modifying advanced network adapter settings built into Surface devices may facilitate a more reliable connection. Keep in mind however that an inability to connect to wireless resources is more often due to an access point issue, networking design flaw, or environmental site issue.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> How you hold your Surface Pro or Surface Go can also affect signal strength. If you’re experiencing a loss of bandwidth, check that you’re not holding the top of the display, where the Wi-Fi radio receiver is located. Although holding the top of the display does not block wireless signals, it can trigger the device driver to initiate changes that reduce connectivity.
+
+### Keep default Auto setting for dual bandwidth capability
+On most Surface devices, you can configure client network adapter settings to only connect to wireless APs over 5 gigahertz (GHz), only connect over 2.4 GHz, or let the operating system choose the best option (default Auto setting).
+
+**To access network adapter settings go to:**
+
+- **Start** > **Control panel** > **Network and Sharing Center** > **your Wi-Fi adapter** > **Properties** > **Configure** > **Advanced**.
+
+
+
+Keep in mind that 2.4 GHz has some advantages over 5 GHz: It extends further and more easily penetrates through walls or other solid objects. Unless you have a clear use case that warrants connecting to 5 GHz, it’s recommended to leave the Band setting in the default state to avoid possible adverse consequences. For example:
+
+
+- Many hotspots found in hotels, coffee shops, and airports still only use 2.4 GHz, effectively blocking access to devices if Band is set to 5 GHz Only.
+- Since Miracast wireless display connections require the initial handshake to be completed over 2.4 GHz channels, devices won’t be able to connect at 5 GHz Only.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> By default Surface devices will prefer connecting to 5 GHz if available. However, to preserve power in a low battery state, Surface will first look for a 2.4 GHz connection.
+
+You can also toggle the band setting as needed to suit your environment. For example, users living in high density apartment buildings with multiple Wi-Fi hotspots — amid the presence of consumer devices all broadcasting via 2.4 GHz — will likely benefit by setting their Surface device to connect on 5 GHz only and then revert to Auto when needed.
+
+### Roaming aggressiveness settings on Surface Go
+
+Front-line workers using Surface Go may wish to select a signal strength threshold that prompts the device to search for a new access point when signal strength drops (roaming aggressiveness). By default, Surface devices attempt to roam to a new access point if the signal strength drops below **Medium** (50 percent signal strength). Note that whenever you increase roaming aggressiveness, you accelerate battery power consumption.
+
+Leave the roaming aggressiveness setting in the default state unless you’re encountering connectivity issues in specific mobile scenarios such as conducting environmental site inspections while also maintaining voice and video connectivity during a conference meeting. If you don’t notice any improvement revert to the default **Medium** state.
+
+**To enable roaming aggressiveness on Surface Go:**
+
+1. Go to **Start > Control Panel** > **Network and Internet** > **Network and Sharing Center.**
+2. Under **Connections** select **Wi-Fi** and then select **Properties.**
+3. Select **Client for Microsoft Networks** and then select **Configure**
+4. Select **Advanced** > **Roaming Aggressiveness** and choose ****your preferred value from the drop-down menu.
+
+
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Surface devices are designed with default settings for optimal wireless connectivity balanced alongside the need to preserve battery life. The most effective way of enabling reliable connectivity for Surface devices is through a well-designed network that supports 802.11r and 802.11k. Users can adjust network adapter settings or roaming aggressiveness but should only do so in response to specific environmental factors and revert to default state if there’s no noticeable improvement.

-- [**Delivery Optimization**](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-delivery-optimization): Improved Peer Efficiency for enterprises and educational institutions with complex networks is enabled with of [new policies](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-deliveryoptimization). This now supports Office 365 ProPlus updates, and Intune content, with System Center Configuration Manager content coming soon!
-- [**Automatic Restart Sign-on (ARSO)**](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-insider/at-work-pro/wip-4-biz-whats-new#automatic-restart-and-sign-on-arso-for-enterprises-build-18305): Windows will automatically logon as the user and lock their device in order to complete the update, ensuring that when the user returns and unlocks the device, the update will be completed.
-- [**Windows Update for Business**](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Windows-Update-for-Business-and-the-retirement-of-SAC-T/ba-p/339523): There will now be a single, common start date for phased deployments (no more SAC-T designation). In addition, there will a new notification and reboot scheduling experience for end users, the ability to enforce update installation and reboot deadlines, and the ability to provide end user control over reboots for a specific time period.
-- **Update rollback improvements**: You can now automatically recover from startup failures by removing updates if the startup failure was introduced after the installation of recent driver or quality updates. When a device is unable to start up properly after the recent installation of Quality of driver updates, Windows will now automatically uninstall the updates to get the device back up and running normally.
-- **Pause updates**: We have extended the ability to pause updates for both feature and monthly updates. This extension ability is for all editions of Windows 10, including Home. You can pause both feature and monthly updates for up to 35 days (seven days at a time, up to five times). Once the 35-day pause period is reached, you will need to update your device before pausing again.
-- **Improved update notifications**: When there’s an update requiring you to restart your device, you’ll see a colored dot on the Power button in the Start menu and on the Windows icon in your taskbar.
-- **Intelligent active hours**: To further enhance active hours, users will now have the option to let Windows Update intelligently adjust active hours based on their device-specific usage patterns. You must enable the intelligent active hours feature for the system to predict device-specific usage patterns.
-- **Improved update orchestration to improve system responsiveness**: This feature will improve system performance by intelligently coordinating Windows updates and Microsoft Store updates, so they occur when users are away from their devices to minimize disruptions.
-
-Microsoft previously announced that we are [extending support](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/06/helping-customers-shift-to-a-modern-desktop) for Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education editions to 30 months from the version release date. This includes all past versions and future versions that are targeted for release in September (versions ending in 09, ex: 1809). Future releases that are targeted for release in March (versions ending in 03, ex: 1903) will continue to be supported for 18 months from their release date. All releases of Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, and Office 365 ProPlus will continue to be supported for 18 months (there is no change for these editions). These support policies are summarized in the table below.

-
-## Windows 10 Enterprise upgrade
-
-Windows 10 version 1703 includes a Windows 10 Enterprise E3 and E5 benefit to Microsoft customers with Enterprise Agreements (EA) or Microsoft Products & Services Agreements (MPSA). These customers can now subscribe users to Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5 and activate their subscriptions on up to five devices. Virtual machines can also be activated. For more information, see [Windows 10 Enterprise Subscription Activation](windows-10-subscription-activation.md).
-
-Windows 10 Enterprise E3 launched in the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) channel on September 1, 2016. Previously, only organizations with a Microsoft Volume Licensing Agreement could deploy Windows 10 Enterprise to their users. With Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP, small and medium-sized organizations can more easily take advantage of Windows 10 Enterprise features.
-
-For more information, see [Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP](windows-10-enterprise-e3-overview.md)

You can also use Windows Autopilot to reset, repurpose and recover devices.
-
-The following Windows Autopilot features are available in Windows 10, version 1903 and later:
-
-- [Windows Autopilot for white glove deployment](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/white-glove) is new in Windows 10, version 1903. "White glove" deployment enables partners or IT staff to pre-provision devices so they are fully configured and business ready for your users.
-- The Intune [enrollment status page](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/windows-enrollment-status) (ESP) now tracks Intune Management Extensions.
-- [Cortana voiceover](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/cortana-voice-support) and speech recognition during OOBE is disabled by default for all Windows 10 Pro Education, and Enterprise SKUs.
-- Windows Autopilot is self-updating during OOBE. Starting with the Windows 10, version 1903 Autopilot functional and critical updates will begin downloading automatically during OOBE.
-- Windows Autopilot will set the [diagnostics data](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/privacy/windows-diagnostic-data) level to Full on Windows 10 version 1903 and later during OOBE.
-
-### Windows 10 Subscription Activation
-
-Windows 10 Education support has been added to Windows 10 Subscription Activation.
-
-With Windows 10, version 1903, you can step-up from Windows 10 Pro Education to the enterprise-grade edition for educational institutions – Windows 10 Education. For more information, see [Windows 10 Subscription Activation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-10-subscription-activation).
-
-### SetupDiag
-
-[SetupDiag](upgrade/setupdiag.md) is a standalone diagnostic tool that can be used to obtain details about why a Windows 10 upgrade was unsuccessful.
-
-SetupDiag version 1.4.1 was released on 5/17/2019.
-
-### Upgrade Readiness
-
-The Upgrade Readiness tool moved from public preview to general availability on March 2, 2017.
-
-Upgrade Readiness helps you ensure that applications and drivers are ready for a Windows 10 upgrade. The solution provides up-to-date application and driver inventory, information about known issues, troubleshooting guidance, and per-device readiness and tracking details.
-
-The development of Upgrade Readiness has been heavily influenced by input from the community the development of new features is ongoing. To begin using Upgrade Readiness, add it to an existing Operation Management Suite (OMS) workspace or sign up for a new OMS workspace with the Upgrade Readiness solution enabled.
-
-For more information about Upgrade Readiness, see the following topics:
-
-- [Windows Analytics blog](https://aka.ms/blog/WindowsAnalytics/)
-- [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Readiness](upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness.md)
-
-
-### Update Compliance
-
-Update Compliance helps you to keep Windows 10 devices in your organization secure and up-to-date.
-
-Update Compliance is a solution built using OMS Logs and Analytics that provides information about installation status of monthly quality and feature updates. Details are provided about the deployment progress of existing updates and the status of future updates. Information is also provided about devices that might need attention to resolve issues.

-
-### MBR2GPT
-
-MBR2GPT.EXE converts a disk from Master Boot Record (MBR) to GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style without modifying or deleting data on the disk. Previously, it was necessary to image, then wipe and reload a disk to change from MBR format to GPT.
-
-There are many benefits to converting the partition style of a disk to GPT, including the use of larger disk partitions, added data reliability, and faster boot and shutdown speeds. The GPT format also enables you to use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) which replaces the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface. Security features of Windows 10 that require UEFI mode include: Secure Boot, Early Launch Anti-malware (ELAM) driver, Windows Trusted Boot, Measured Boot, Device Guard, Credential Guard, and BitLocker Network Unlock.
-
-For more information, see [MBR2GPT.EXE](mbr-to-gpt.md).
-
-
-### Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
-
-MDT build 8456 (12/19/2018) is available, including support for Windows 10, version 1809, and Windows Server 2019.
-
-For more information about MDT, see the [MDT resource page](https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/mdt/).
-
-
-### Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)
-
-The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) contains tools that can be used by IT Pros to deploy Windows. See the following topics:
-
-- [What's new in ADK kits and tools](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/get-started/what-s-new-in-kits-and-tools)
-- [Windows ADK for Windows 10 scenarios for IT Pros](windows-adk-scenarios-for-it-pros.md)
-
-
-## Testing and validation guidance
-
-### Windows 10 deployment proof of concept (PoC)
-

+- [**Delivery Optimization**](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-delivery-optimization): Improved Peer Efficiency for enterprises and educational institutions with complex networks is enabled with of [new policies](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-deliveryoptimization). This now supports Office 365 ProPlus updates, and Intune content, with System Center Configuration Manager content coming soon!
+- [**Automatic Restart Sign-on (ARSO)**](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-insider/at-work-pro/wip-4-biz-whats-new#automatic-restart-and-sign-on-arso-for-enterprises-build-18305): Windows will automatically logon as the user and lock their device in order to complete the update, ensuring that when the user returns and unlocks the device, the update will be completed.
+- [**Windows Update for Business**](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Windows-Update-for-Business-and-the-retirement-of-SAC-T/ba-p/339523): There will now be a single, common start date for phased deployments (no more SAC-T designation). In addition, there will a new notification and reboot scheduling experience for end users, the ability to enforce update installation and reboot deadlines, and the ability to provide end user control over reboots for a specific time period.
+- **Update rollback improvements**: You can now automatically recover from startup failures by removing updates if the startup failure was introduced after the installation of recent driver or quality updates. When a device is unable to start up properly after the recent installation of Quality of driver updates, Windows will now automatically uninstall the updates to get the device back up and running normally.
+- **Pause updates**: We have extended the ability to pause updates for both feature and monthly updates. This extension ability is for all editions of Windows 10, including Home. You can pause both feature and monthly updates for up to 35 days (seven days at a time, up to five times). Once the 35-day pause period is reached, you will need to update your device before pausing again.
+- **Improved update notifications**: When there’s an update requiring you to restart your device, you’ll see a colored dot on the Power button in the Start menu and on the Windows icon in your taskbar.
+- **Intelligent active hours**: To further enhance active hours, users will now have the option to let Windows Update intelligently adjust active hours based on their device-specific usage patterns. You must enable the intelligent active hours feature for the system to predict device-specific usage patterns.
+- **Improved update orchestration to improve system responsiveness**: This feature will improve system performance by intelligently coordinating Windows updates and Microsoft Store updates, so they occur when users are away from their devices to minimize disruptions.
+
+Microsoft previously announced that we are [extending support](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/06/helping-customers-shift-to-a-modern-desktop) for Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education editions to 30 months from the version release date. This includes all past versions and future versions that are targeted for release in September (versions ending in 09, ex: 1809). Future releases that are targeted for release in March (versions ending in 03, ex: 1903) will continue to be supported for 18 months from their release date. All releases of Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, and Office 365 ProPlus will continue to be supported for 18 months (there is no change for these editions). These support policies are summarized in the table below.
+
+
+
+## Windows 10 Enterprise upgrade
+
+Windows 10 version 1703 includes a Windows 10 Enterprise E3 and E5 benefit to Microsoft customers with Enterprise Agreements (EA) or Microsoft Products & Services Agreements (MPSA). These customers can now subscribe users to Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5 and activate their subscriptions on up to five devices. Virtual machines can also be activated. For more information, see [Windows 10 Enterprise Subscription Activation](windows-10-subscription-activation.md).
+
+Windows 10 Enterprise E3 launched in the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) channel on September 1, 2016. Previously, only organizations with a Microsoft Volume Licensing Agreement could deploy Windows 10 Enterprise to their users. With Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP, small and medium-sized organizations can more easily take advantage of Windows 10 Enterprise features.
+
+For more information, see [Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP](windows-10-enterprise-e3-overview.md)
+
+
+## Deployment solutions and tools
+
+### Windows Autopilot
+
+[Windows Autopilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-autopilot) streamlines and automates the process of setting up and configuring new devices, with minimal interaction required from the end user. You can also use Windows Autopilot to reset, repurpose and recover devices.
+
+The following Windows Autopilot features are available in Windows 10, version 1903 and later:
+
+- [Windows Autopilot for white glove deployment](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/white-glove) is new in Windows 10, version 1903. "White glove" deployment enables partners or IT staff to pre-provision devices so they are fully configured and business ready for your users.
+- The Intune [enrollment status page](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/windows-enrollment-status) (ESP) now tracks Intune Management Extensions.
+- [Cortana voiceover](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/cortana-voice-support) and speech recognition during OOBE is disabled by default for all Windows 10 Pro Education, and Enterprise SKUs.
+- Windows Autopilot is self-updating during OOBE. Starting with the Windows 10, version 1903 Autopilot functional and critical updates will begin downloading automatically during OOBE.
+- Windows Autopilot will set the [diagnostics data](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/privacy/windows-diagnostic-data) level to Full on Windows 10 version 1903 and later during OOBE.
+
+### Windows 10 Subscription Activation
+
+Windows 10 Education support has been added to Windows 10 Subscription Activation.
+
+With Windows 10, version 1903, you can step-up from Windows 10 Pro Education to the enterprise-grade edition for educational institutions – Windows 10 Education. For more information, see [Windows 10 Subscription Activation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-10-subscription-activation).
+
+### SetupDiag
+
+[SetupDiag](upgrade/setupdiag.md) is a standalone diagnostic tool that can be used to obtain details about why a Windows 10 upgrade was unsuccessful.
+
+SetupDiag version 1.4.1 was released on 5/17/2019.
+
+### Upgrade Readiness
+
+The Upgrade Readiness tool moved from public preview to general availability on March 2, 2017.
+
+Upgrade Readiness helps you ensure that applications and drivers are ready for a Windows 10 upgrade. The solution provides up-to-date application and driver inventory, information about known issues, troubleshooting guidance, and per-device readiness and tracking details.
+
+The development of Upgrade Readiness has been heavily influenced by input from the community the development of new features is ongoing. To begin using Upgrade Readiness, add it to an existing Operation Management Suite (OMS) workspace or sign up for a new OMS workspace with the Upgrade Readiness solution enabled.
+
+For more information about Upgrade Readiness, see the following topics:
+
+- [Windows Analytics blog](https://aka.ms/blog/WindowsAnalytics/)
+- [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Readiness](upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness.md)
+
+
+### Update Compliance
+
+Update Compliance helps you to keep Windows 10 devices in your organization secure and up-to-date.
+
+Update Compliance is a solution built using OMS Logs and Analytics that provides information about installation status of monthly quality and feature updates. Details are provided about the deployment progress of existing updates and the status of future updates. Information is also provided about devices that might need attention to resolve issues.
+
+For more information about Update Compliance, see [Monitor Windows Updates with Update Compliance](update/update-compliance-monitor.md).
+
+### Device Health
+
+Device Health is the newest Windows Analytics solution that complements the existing Upgrade Readiness and Update Compliance solutions by helping to identify devices crashes and the cause. Device drivers that are causing crashes are identified along with alternative drivers that might reduce the number of crashes. Windows Information Protection misconfigurations are also identified. For more information, see [Monitor the health of devices with Device Health](update/device-health-monitor.md)
+
+### MBR2GPT
+
+MBR2GPT.EXE converts a disk from Master Boot Record (MBR) to GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style without modifying or deleting data on the disk. Previously, it was necessary to image, then wipe and reload a disk to change from MBR format to GPT.
+
+There are many benefits to converting the partition style of a disk to GPT, including the use of larger disk partitions, added data reliability, and faster boot and shutdown speeds. The GPT format also enables you to use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) which replaces the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface. Security features of Windows 10 that require UEFI mode include: Secure Boot, Early Launch Anti-malware (ELAM) driver, Windows Trusted Boot, Measured Boot, Device Guard, Credential Guard, and BitLocker Network Unlock.
+
+For more information, see [MBR2GPT.EXE](mbr-to-gpt.md).
+
+
+### Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
+
+MDT build 8456 (12/19/2018) is available, including support for Windows 10, version 1809, and Windows Server 2019.
+
+For more information about MDT, see the [MDT resource page](https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/mdt/).
+
+
+### Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)
+
+The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) contains tools that can be used by IT Pros to deploy Windows. See the following topics:
+
+- [What's new in ADK kits and tools](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/get-started/what-s-new-in-kits-and-tools)

-BranchCache is a bandwidth-optimization feature that has been available since the Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 operating systems. Each client has a cache and acts as an alternate source for content that devices on its own network request. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager can use BranchCache to optimize network bandwidth during update deployment, and it’s easy to configure for either of them. BranchCache has two operating modes: Distributed Cache mode and Hosted Cache mode.
-
-- Distributed Cache mode operates like the [Delivery Optimization](waas-delivery-optimization.md) feature in Windows 10: each client contains a cached version of the BranchCache-enabled files it requests and acts as a distributed cache for other clients requesting that same file.
-
- >[!TIP]
- >Distributed Cache mode is preferred to Hosted Cache mode for Windows 10 updates to get the most benefit from peer-to-peer distribution.
-
-- In Hosted Cache mode, designated servers at specific locations act as a cache for files requested by clients in its area. Then, rather than clients retrieving files from a latent source, the hosted cache server provides the content on its behalf.
-
-For detailed information about how Distributed Cache mode and Hosted Cache mode work, see [BranchCache Overview](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd637832(v=ws.10).aspx).
-
-## Configure clients for BranchCache
-
-Whether you use BranchCache with Configuration Manager or WSUS, each client that uses BranchCache must be configured to do so. You typically make your configurations through Group Policy. For step-by-step instructions on how to use Group Policy to configure BranchCache for Windows clients, see [Client Configuration](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd637820%28v=ws.10%29.aspx) in the [BranchCache Early Adopter’s Guide](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd637762(v=ws.10).aspx).
-
-In Windows 10, version 1607, the Windows Update Agent uses Delivery Optimization by default, even when the updates are retrieved from WSUS. When using BranchCache with Windows 10, simply set the Delivery Optimization mode to Bypass to allow clients to use the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) protocol with BranchCache instead. For instructions on how to use BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode with WSUS, see the section WSUS and Configuration Manager with BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode.
-
-## Configure servers for BranchCache
-
-You can use WSUS and Configuration Manager with BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode. BranchCache in Distributed Cache mode is easy to configure for both WSUS and System Center Configuration Manager.
-
-For a step-by-step guide to configuring BranchCache on Windows Server devices, see the [BranchCache Deployment Guide (Windows Server 2012)](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj572990) or [BranchCache Deployment Guide (Windows Server 2016)](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/networking/branchcache/deploy/branchcache-deployment-guide).
-
-In addition to these steps, there is one requirement for WSUS to be able to use BranchCache in either operating mode: the WSUS server must be configured to download updates locally on the server to a shared folder. This way, you can select BranchCache publication for the share. For Configuration Manager, you can enable BranchCache on distribution points; no other server-side configuration is necessary for Distributed Cache mode.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Configuration Manager only supports Distributed Cache mode.

-
-For Windows as a service, maintenance is ongoing and iterative. Deploying previous versions of Windows required organizations to build sets of users to roll out the changes in phases. Typically, these users ranged (in order) from the most adaptable and least risky to the least adaptable or riskiest. With Windows 10, a similar methodology exists, but construction of the groups is a little different.
-
-Deployment rings in Windows 10 are similar to the deployment groups most organizations constructed for previous major revision upgrades. They are simply a method by which to separate machines into a deployment timeline. With Windows 10, you construct deployment rings a bit differently in each servicing tool, but the concepts remain the same. Each deployment ring should reduce the risk of issues derived from the deployment of the feature updates by gradually deploying the update to entire departments. As previously mentioned, consider including a portion of each department’s employees in several deployment rings.
-
-Defining deployment rings is generally a one-time event (or at least infrequent), but IT should revisit these groups to ensure that the sequencing is still correct. Also, there are times in which client computers could move between different deployment rings when necessary.
-
-Table 1 provides an example of the deployment rings you might use.
-
-**Table 1**
-
-| Deployment ring | Servicing channel | Deferral for feature updates | Deferral for quality updates | Example |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Preview | Windows Insider Program | None | None | A few machines to evaluate early builds prior to their arrival to the semi-annual channel |
-| Targeted | Semi-annual channel (Targeted) | None | None | Select devices across various teams used to evaluate the major release prior to broad deployment |
-| Broad | Semi-annual channel | 120 days | 7-14 days | Broadly deployed to most of the organization and monitored for feedbackPause updates if there are critical issues |
-| Critical | Semi-annual channel | 180 days | 30 days | Devices that are critical and will only receive updates once they've been vetted for a period of time by the majority of the organization |
-
->[!NOTE]
->In this example, there are no rings made up of the long-term servicing channel (LTSC). The LTSC does not receive feature updates.
-
-
-As Table 1 shows, each combination of servicing channel and deployment group is tied to a specific deployment ring. As you can see, the associated groups of devices are combined with a servicing channel to specify which deployment ring those devices and their users fall into. The naming convention used to identify the rings is completely customizable as long as the name clearly identifies the sequence. Deployment rings represent a sequential deployment timeline, regardless of the servicing channel they contain. Deployment rings will likely rarely change for an organization, but they should be periodically assessed to ensure that the deployment cadence still makes sense.

-## Integrate Windows Update for Business with Windows Server Update Services
-
-
-For Windows 10, version 1607, devices can now be configured to receive updates from both Windows Update (or Microsoft Update) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). In a joint WSUS and Windows Update for Business setup:
-
-- Devices will receive their Windows content from Microsoft and defer these updates according to Windows Update for Business policy
-- All other content synced from WSUS will be directly applied to the device; that is, updates to products other than Windows will not follow your Windows Update for Business deferral policies
-
-### Configuration example \#1: Deferring Windows Update updates with other update content hosted on WSUS
-
-**Configuration:**
-
-- Device is configured to defer Windows Quality Updates using Windows Update for Business
-- Device is also configured to be managed by WSUS
-- Device is not configured to enable Microsoft Update (**Update/AllowMUUpdateService** = not enabled)
-- Admin has opted to put updates to Office and other products on WSUS
-- Admin has also put 3rd party drivers on WSUS

-- Device is configured to “receive updates for other Microsoft products” along with updates to Windows (**Update/AllowMUUpdateService** = enabled)
-- Admin has also placed Microsoft Update, third-paprty, and locally-published update content on the WSUS server
-
-In this example, the deferral behavior for updates to Office and other non-Windows products is slightly different than if WSUS were not enabled.
-- In a non-WSUS case, these updates would be deferred just as any update to Windows would be.
-- However, with WSUS also configured, these updates are sourced from Microsoft but deferral policies are not applied.

-
-## Integrate Windows Update for Business with System Center Configuration Manager
-
-For Windows 10, version 1607, organizations already managing their systems with a Configuration Manager solution can also have their devices configured for Windows Update for Business (i.e. setting deferral policies on those devices). Such devices will be visible in the Configuration Manager console, however they will appear with a detection state of **Unknown**.

-
-**Applies to**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 10 Mobile
-
-> **Looking for consumer information?** See [Windows Update: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12373/windows-update-faq)
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Due to [naming changes](waas-overview.md#naming-changes), older terms like CB,CBB and LTSB may still be displayed in some of our products.
->
->In the following settings CB refers to Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted), while CBB refers to Semi-Annual Channel.
-
-System Center Configuration Manager provides maximum control over quality and feature updates for Windows 10. Unlike other servicing tools, Configuration Manager has capabilities that extend beyond servicing, such as application deployment, antivirus management, software metering, and reporting, and provides a secondary deployment method for LTSB clients. Configuration Manager can effectively control bandwidth usage and content distribution through a combination of BranchCache and distribution points. Microsoft encourages organizations currently using Configuration Manager for Windows update management to continue doing so for Windows 10 client computers.
-
-You can use Configuration Manager to service Windows 10 devices in two ways. The first option is to use Windows 10 Servicing Plans to deploy Windows 10 feature updates automatically based on specific criteria, similar to an Automatic Deployment Rule for software updates. The second option is to use a task sequence to deploy feature updates, along with anything else in the installation.
-
->[!NOTE]
->This topic focuses on updating and upgrading Windows 10 after it has already been deployed. To use Configuration Manager to upgrade your systems from the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 operating system, see [Upgrade to Windows 10 with System Center Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/deploy/upgrade-to-windows-10-with-system-center-configuraton-manager).
-
-## Windows 10 servicing dashboard
-
-The Windows 10 servicing dashboard gives you a quick-reference view of your active servicing plans, compliance for servicing plan deployment, and other key information about Windows 10 servicing. For details about what each tile on the servicing dashboard represents, see [Manage Windows as a service using System Center Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt627931.aspx).
-
-For the Windows 10 servicing dashboard to display information, you must adhere to the following requirements:
-
-- **Heartbeat discovery**. Enable heartbeat discovery for the site receiving Windows 10 servicing information. Configuration for heartbeat discovery can be found in Administration\Overview\Hierarchy Configuration\Discovery Methods.
-- **Windows Server Update Service (WSUS)**. System Center Configuration Manager must have the Software update point site system role added and configured to receive updates from a WSUS 4.0 server with the hotfix KB3095113 installed.
-- **Service connection point**. Add the Service connection point site system role in Online, persistent connection mode.
-- **Upgrade classification**. Select **Upgrade** from the list of synchronized software update classifications.
-
- **To configure Upgrade classification**
-
- 1. Go to Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Sites, and then select your site from the list.
-
- 2. On the Ribbon, in the **Settings** section, click **Configure Site Components**, and then click **Software Update Point**.
-
- 
-
- 3. In the **Software Update Point Component Properties** dialog box, on the **Classifications** tab, click **Upgrades**.
-
-When you have met all these requirements and deployed a servicing plan to a collection, you’ll receive information on the Windows 10 servicing dashboard.
-
-## Create collections for deployment rings
-
-Regardless of the method by which you deploy Windows 10 feature updates to your environment, you must start the Windows 10 servicing process by creating collections of computers that represent your deployment rings. In this example, you create two collections: **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business** and **Ring 4 Broad business users**. You’ll use the **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business** collection for reporting and deployments that should go to all CBB clients. You’ll use the **Ring 4 Broad business users** collection as a deployment ring for the first CBB users.
-
->[!NOTE]
->The following procedures use the groups from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) as examples.
-
-**To create collections for deployment rings**
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Assets and Compliance\Overview\Device Collections.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Device Collection**.
-
-3. In the Create Device Collection Wizard, in the **name** box, type **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business**.
-
-4. Click **Browse** to select the limiting collection, and then click **All Systems**.
-
-5. In **Membership rules**, click **Add Rule**, and then click **Query Rule**.
-
-6. Name the rule **CBB Detection**, and then click **Edit Query Statement**.
-
-7. On the **Criteria** tab, click the **New** icon.
-
- 
-
-8. In the **Criterion Properties** dialog box, leave the type as **Simple Value**, and then click **Select**.
-
-9. In the **Select Attribute** dialog box, from the **Attribute class** list, select **System Resource**. From the **Attribute** list, select **OSBranch**, and then click **OK**.
-
- 
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >Configuration Manager discovers clients’ servicing branch and stores that value in the **OSBranch** attribute, which you will use to create collections based on servicing branch.

-## Use Windows 10 servicing plans to deploy Windows 10 feature updates
-
-There are two ways to deploy Windows 10 feature updates with System Center Configuration Manager. The first is to use servicing plans, which provide an automated method to update devices consistently in their respective deployment rings, similar to Automatic Deployment Rules for software updates.
-
-**To configure Windows feature updates for CBB clients in the Ring 4 Broad business users deployment ring using a servicing plan**
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Windows 10 Servicing, and then click **Servicing Plans**.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Servicing Plan**.
-
-3. Name the plan **Ring 4 Broad business users Servicing Plan**, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Servicing Plan page**, click **Browse**. Select the **Ring 4 Broad business users** collection, which you created in the [Create collections for deployment rings](#create-collections-for-deployment-rings) section, click **OK**, and then click **Next**.
-
- >[!IMPORTANT]
- >Microsoft added a new protection feature to Configuration Manager that prevents accidental installation of high-risk deployments such as operating system upgrades on site systems. If you select a collection (All Systems in this example) that has a site system in it, you may receive the following message.
- >
- >
- >
- >For details about how to manage the settings for high-risk deployments in Configuration Manager, see [Settings to manage high-risk deployments for System Center Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt621992.aspx).
-
-5. On the **Deployment Ring** page, select the **Business Ready (Current Branch for Business)** readiness state, leave the delay at **0 days**, and then click **Next**.
-
- Doing so deploys CBB feature updates to the broad business users deployment ring immediately after they are released to CBB.
-
- On the Upgrades page, you specify filters for the feature updates to which this servicing plan is applicable. For example, if you wanted this plan to be only for Windows 10 Enterprise, you could select **Title**, and then type **Enterprise**.
-
-6. For this example, on the **Upgrades** page, click **Next** to leave the criterion blank.
-
-7. On the **Deployment Schedule** page, click **Next** to keep the default values of making the content available immediately and requiring installation by the 7-day deadline.
-
-8. On the **User Experience** page, from the **Deadline behavior** list, select **Software Installation and System restart (if necessary)**. From the **Device restart behavior** list, select **Workstations**, and then click **Next**.
-
- Doing so allows installation and restarts after the 7-day deadline on workstations only.
-
-9. On the **Deployment Package** page, select **Create a new deployment package**. In **Name**, type **CBB Upgrades**, select a share for your package source location, and then click **Next**.
-
- In this example, \\contoso-cm01\Sources\Windows 10 Feature Upgrades is a share on the Configuration Manager server that contains all the Windows 10 feature updates.
-
- 
-
-10. On the **Distribution Points** page, from the **Add** list, select **Distribution Point**.
-
- 
-
- Select the distribution points that serve the clients to which you’re deploying this servicing plan, and then click **OK**.
-
-11. Click **Summary**, click **Next** to complete the servicing plan, and then click **Close**.
-
-
-You have now created a servicing plan for the **Ring 4 Broad business users** deployment ring. By default, this rule is evaluated each time the software update point is synchronized, but you can modify this schedule by viewing the service plan’s properties on the **Evaluation Schedule** tab.
-
-
-
-
-## Use a task sequence to deploy Windows 10 updates
-
-There are times when deploying a Windows 10 feature update requires the use of a task sequence—for example:
-
-- **LTSB feature updates**. With the LTSB servicing branch, feature updates are never provided to the Windows clients themselves. Instead, feature updates must be installed like a traditional in-place upgrade.
-- **Additional required tasks**. When deploying a feature update requires additional steps (e.g., suspending disk encryption, updating applications), you must use task sequences to orchestrate the additional steps. Servicing plans do not have the ability to add steps to their deployments.
-
-Each time Microsoft releases a new Windows 10 build, it releases a new .iso file containing the latest build, as well. Regardless of the scenario that requires a task sequence to deploy the Windows 10 upgrade, the base process is the same. Start by creating an Operating System Upgrade Package in the Configuration Manager console:
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Operating System Upgrade Packages.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Add Operating System Upgrade Package**.
-
-3. On the **Data Source** page, type the path of the extracted .iso file of the new version of Windows 10 you’re deploying, and then click **Next**.
-
- In this example, the Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 installation media is deployed to \\contoso-cm01\Sources\Operating Systems\Windows 10 Enterprise\Windows 10 Enterprise - Version 1607.
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >System Center Configuration Manager version 1606 is required to manage machines running Windows 10, version 1607.
-
-4. On the **General** page, in the **Name** field, type the name of the folder (**Windows 10 Enterprise - Version 1607** in this example). Set the **Version** to **1607**, and then click **Next**.
-
-5. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to create the package.
-
-6. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**.
-
-Now that the operating system upgrade package has been created, the content in that package must be distributed to the correct distribution points so that the clients can access the content. Complete the following steps to distribute the package content to distribution points:
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Operating System Upgrade Packages, and then select the **Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607** software upgrade package.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Deployment group**, click **Distribute Content**.
-
-3. In the Distribute Content Wizard, on the **General** page, click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Content Destination** page, click **Add**, and then click **Distribution Point**.
-
-5. In the **Add Distribution Points** dialog box, select the distribution point that will serve the clients receiving this package, and then click **OK**.
-
-6. On the **Content Destination** page, click **Next**.
-
-7. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to distribute the content to the selected distribution point.
-
-8. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**.
-
-Now that the upgrade package has been created and its contents distributed, create the task sequence that will use it. Complete the following steps to create the task sequence, using the previously created deployment package:
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Task Sequences.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Task Sequence**.
-
-3. In the Create Task Sequence Wizard, on the **Create a new task sequence** page, select **Upgrade an operating system from upgrade package**, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Task Sequence Information** page, in **Task sequence name**, type **Upgrade Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607**, and then click **Next**.
-
-5. On the **Upgrade the Windows Operating system** page, click **Browse**, select the deployment package you created in the previous steps, and then click **OK**.
-
-6. Click **Next**.
-
-7. On the **Include Updates** page, select **Available for installation – All software updates**, and then click **Next**.
-
-8. On the **Install Applications** page, click **Next**.
-
-9. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to create the task sequence.
-
-10. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**.
-
-With the task sequence created, you’re ready to deploy it. If you’re using this method to deploy most of your Windows 10 feature updates, you may want to create deployment rings to stage the deployment of this task sequence, with delays appropriate for the respective deployment ring. In this example, you deploy the task sequence to the **Ring 4 Broad business users collection**.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->This process deploys a Windows 10 operating system feature update to the affected devices. If you’re testing, be sure to select the collection to which you deploy this task sequence carefully.
-
-**To deploy your task sequence**
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Task Sequences, and then select the **Upgrade Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607** task sequence.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Deployment** group, click **Deploy**.
-
-3. In the Deploy Software Wizard, on the **General** page, click **Browse**. Select the target collection, click **OK**, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Deployment Settings** page, for **purpose**, select **Required**, and then click **Next**.
-
-5. On the **Scheduling** page, select the **Schedule when this deployment will become available** check box (it sets the current time by default). For **Assignment schedule**, click **New**.
-
-6. In the **Assignment Schedule** dialog box, click **Schedule**.
-
-7. In the **Custom Schedule** dialog box, select the desired deadline, and then click **OK**.
-
-8. In the **Assignment Schedule** dialog box, click **OK**, and then click **Next**.
-
-9. On the **User Experience** page, in the **When the scheduled assignment time is reached, allow the following activities to be performed outside of the maintenance window** section, select **Software Installation** and **System restart** (if required to complete the installation), and then click **Next**.
-
-10. Use the defaults for the remaining settings.
-
-11. Click **Summary**, and then click **Next** to deploy the task sequence.
-
-12. Click **Close**.

+
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10
+
+
+> **Looking for consumer information?** See [Windows Update: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12373/windows-update-faq)
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>Due to [naming changes](waas-overview.md#naming-changes), older terms like CB and CBB might still be displayed in some of our products, such as in Group Policy. If you encounter these terms, "CB" refers to the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)--which is no longer used--while "CBB" refers to the Semi-Annual Channel.
+
+
+System Center Configuration Manager provides maximum control over quality and feature updates for Windows 10. Unlike other servicing tools, Configuration Manager has capabilities that extend beyond servicing, such as application deployment, antivirus management, software metering, and reporting, and provides a secondary deployment method for LTSB clients. Configuration Manager can effectively control bandwidth usage and content distribution through a combination of BranchCache and distribution points. Microsoft encourages organizations currently using Configuration Manager for Windows update management to continue doing so for Windows 10 client computers.
+
+You can use Configuration Manager to service Windows 10 devices in two ways. The first option is to use Windows 10 Servicing Plans to deploy Windows 10 feature updates automatically based on specific criteria, similar to an Automatic Deployment Rule for software updates. The second option is to use a task sequence to deploy feature updates, along with anything else in the installation.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>This topic focuses on updating and upgrading Windows 10 after it has already been deployed. To use Configuration Manager to upgrade your systems from the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 operating system, see [Upgrade to Windows 10 with System Center Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/deploy/upgrade-to-windows-10-with-system-center-configuraton-manager).
+
+## Windows 10 servicing dashboard
+
+The Windows 10 servicing dashboard gives you a quick-reference view of your active servicing plans, compliance for servicing plan deployment, and other key information about Windows 10 servicing. For details about what each tile on the servicing dashboard represents, see [Manage Windows as a service using System Center Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt627931.aspx).
+
+For the Windows 10 servicing dashboard to display information, you must adhere to the following requirements:
+
+- **Heartbeat discovery**. Enable heartbeat discovery for the site receiving Windows 10 servicing information. Configuration for heartbeat discovery can be found in Administration\Overview\Hierarchy Configuration\Discovery Methods.
+- **Windows Server Update Service (WSUS)**. System Center Configuration Manager must have the Software update point site system role added and configured to receive updates from a WSUS 4.0 server with the hotfix KB3095113 installed.
+- **Service connection point**. Add the Service connection point site system role in Online, persistent connection mode.
+- **Upgrade classification**. Select **Upgrade** from the list of synchronized software update classifications.
+
+ **To configure Upgrade classification**
+
+ 1. Go to Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Sites, and then select your site from the list.
+
+ 2. On the Ribbon, in the **Settings** section, click **Configure Site Components**, and then click **Software Update Point**.
+
+ 
+
+ 3. In the **Software Update Point Component Properties** dialog box, on the **Classifications** tab, click **Upgrades**.
+
+When you have met all these requirements and deployed a servicing plan to a collection, you’ll receive information on the Windows 10 servicing dashboard.
+
+## Create collections for deployment rings
+
+Regardless of the method by which you deploy Windows 10 feature updates to your environment, you must start the Windows 10 servicing process by creating collections of computers that represent your deployment rings. In this example, you create two collections: **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business** and **Ring 4 Broad business users**. You’ll use the **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business** collection for reporting and deployments that should go to all CBB clients. You’ll use the **Ring 4 Broad business users** collection as a deployment ring for the first CBB users.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>The following procedures use the groups from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) as examples.
+
+**To create collections for deployment rings**
+
+1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Assets and Compliance\Overview\Device Collections.

-# Deploy Windows 10 updates using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)
-
-
-**Applies to**
-
-- Windows 10
-
-> **Looking for consumer information?** See [Windows Update: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12373/windows-update-faq)
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Due to [naming changes](waas-overview.md#naming-changes), older terms like CB,CBB and LTSB may still be displayed in some of our products.
->
->In the following settings CB refers to Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted), while CBB refers to Semi-Annual Channel.
-
-WSUS is a Windows Server role available in the Windows Server operating systems. It provides a single hub for Windows updates within an organization. WSUS allows companies not only to defer updates but also to selectively approve them, choose when they’re delivered, and determine which individual devices or groups of devices receive them. WSUS provides additional control over Windows Update for Business but does not provide all the scheduling options and deployment flexibility that System Center Configuration Manager provides.
-
-When you choose WSUS as your source for Windows updates, you use Group Policy to point Windows 10 client devices to the WSUS server for their updates. From there, updates are periodically downloaded to the WSUS server and managed, approved, and deployed through the WSUS administration console or Group Policy, streamlining enterprise update management. If you’re currently using WSUS to manage Windows updates in your environment, you can continue to do so in Windows 10.
-
-
-
-## Requirements for Windows 10 servicing with WSUS
-
-To be able to use WSUS to manage and deploy Windows 10 feature updates, you must have WSUS 4.0, which is available in the Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 operating systems. In addition to WSUS 4.0, you must install the [KB3095113](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3095113) and [KB3159706](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3159706) patches on the WSUS server.
-
-## WSUS scalability
-
-To use WSUS to manage all Windows updates, some organizations may need access to WSUS from a perimeter network, or they might have some other complex scenario. WSUS is highly scalable and configurable for organizations of any size or site layout. For specific information about scaling WSUS, including upstream and downstream server configuration, branch offices, WSUS load balancing, and other complex scenarios, see [Choose a Type of WSUS Deployment](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc720448%28v=ws.10%29.aspx).
-
-
-## Express Installation Files
-
-With Windows 10, quality updates will be larger than traditional Windows Updates because they’re cumulative. To manage the bandwidth clients downloading large updates like these will need, WSUS has a feature called *Express Installation Files*.
-
- At a binary level, files associated with updates may not change a lot. In fact, with cumulative quality updates, most of the content will be from previous updates. Rather than downloading the entire update when only a small percentage of the payload is actually different, Express Installation Files analyze the differences between the new files associated with an update and the existing files on the client. This approach significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth used because only a fraction of the update content is actually delivered.
-
- **To configure WSUS to download Express Update Files**
-
-1. Open the WSUS Administration Console.
-
-2. In the navigation pane, go to *Your_Server*\\**Options**.
-
-3. In the **Options** section, click **Update Files and Languages**.
-
- 
-
-4. In the **Update Files and Languages** dialog box, select **Download express installation files**.
-
- 
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >Because Windows 10 updates are cumulative, enabling Express Installation Files when WSUS is configured to download Windows 10 updates will significantly increase the amount of disk space that WSUS requires. Alternatively, when using Express Installation Files for previous versions of Windows, the feature’s positive effects aren’t noticeable because the updates aren’t cumulative.
-
-## Configure automatic updates and update service location
-
-When using WSUS to manage updates on Windows client devices, start by configuring the **Configure Automatic Updates** and **Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location** Group Policy settings for your environment. Doing so forces the affected clients to contact the WSUS server so that it can manage them. The following process describes how to specify these settings and deploy them to all devices in the domain.
-
-**To configure the Configure Automatic Updates and Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location Group Policy settings for your environment**
-
-1. Open GPMC.
-
-2. Expand Forest\Domains\\*Your_Domain*.
-
-3. Right-click *Your_Domain*, and then click **Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here**.
-
- 
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >In this example, the **Configure Automatic Updates** and **Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location** Group Policy settings are specified for the entire domain. This is not a requirement; you can target these settings to any security group by using Security Filtering or a specific OU.
-
-4. In the **New GPO** dialog box, name the new GPO **WSUS – Auto Updates and Intranet Update Service Location**.
-
-5. Right-click the **WSUS – Auto Updates and Intranet Update Service Location** GPO, and then click **Edit**.
-
-6. In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update.
-
-7. Right-click the **Configure Automatic Updates** setting, and then click **Edit**.
-
- 
-
-8. In the **Configure Automatic Updates** dialog box, select **Enable**.
-
-9. Under **Options**, from the **Configure automatic updating** list, select **3 - Auto download and notify for install**, and then click **OK**.
-
- 
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > ?There are three other settings for automatic update download and installation dates and times. This is simply the option this example uses. For more examples of how to control automatic updates and other related policies, see [Configure Automatic Updates by Using Group Policy](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc720539%28v=ws.10%29.aspx).
-
-10. Right-click the **Specify intranet Microsoft update service location** setting, and then click **Edit**.
-
-11. In the **Specify intranet Microsoft update service location** dialog box, select **Enable**.
-
-12. Under **Options**, in the **Set the intranet update service for detecting updates** and **Set the intranet statistics server** options, type http://Your_WSUS_Server_FQDN:PortNumber, and then click **OK**.
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >The URL `http://CONTOSO-WSUS1.contoso.com:8530` in the following image is just an example. In your environment, be sure to use the server name and port number for your WSUS instance.
-
- 
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >The default HTTP port for WSUS is 8530, and the default HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) port is 8531. If you’re unsure which port WSUS is using for client communication, right-click the WSUS Administration site in IIS Manager, and then click **Edit Bindings**.
-
-As Windows clients refresh their computer policies (the default Group Policy refresh setting is 90 minutes and when a computer restarts), computers start to appear in WSUS. Now that clients are communicating with the WSUS server, create the computer groups that align with your deployment rings.
-
-## Create computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console
-
->[!NOTE]
->The following procedures use the groups from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) as examples.
-
-You can use computer groups to target a subset of devices that have specific quality and feature updates. These groups represent your deployment rings, as controlled by WSUS. You can populate the groups either manually by using the WSUS Administration Console or automatically through Group Policy. Regardless of the method you choose, you must first create the groups in the WSUS Administration Console.
-
-**To create computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console**
-
-1. Open the WSUS Administration Console.
-
-2. Go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers, and then click **Add Computer Group**.
-
- 
-
-3. Type **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** for the name, and then click **Add**.
-
-4. Repeat these steps for the **Ring 3 Broad IT** and **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** groups. When you’re finished, there should be three deployment ring groups.
-
-Now that the groups have been created, add the computers to the computer groups that align with the desired deployment rings. You can do this through [Group Policy](#wsus-gp) or manually by using the [WSUS Administration Console](#wsus-admin).
-
-
-## Use the WSUS Administration Console to populate deployment rings
-
-Adding computers to computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console is simple, but it could take much longer than managing membership through Group Policy, especially if you have many computers to add. Adding computers to computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console is called *server-side targeting*.
-
-In this example, you add computers to computer groups in two different ways: by manually assigning unassigned computers and by searching for multiple computers.
-
-### Manually assign unassigned computers to groups
-
-When new computers communicate with WSUS, they appear in the **Unassigned Computers** group. From there, you can use the following procedure to add computers to their correct groups. For these examples, you use two Windows 10 PCs (WIN10-PC1 and WIN10-PC2) to add to the computer groups.
-
-**To assign computers manually**
-
-1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers\Unassigned Computers.
-
- Here, you see the new computers that have received the GPO you created in the previous section and started communicating with WSUS. This example has only two computers; depending on how broadly you deployed your policy, you will likely have many computers here.
-
-2. Select both computers, right-click the selection, and then click **Change Membership**.
-
- 
-
-3. In the **Set Computer Group Membership** dialog box, select the **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** deployment ring, and then click **OK**.
-
- Because they were assigned to a group, the computers are no longer in the **Unassigned Computers** group. If you select the **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** computer group, you will see both computers there.
-
-### Search for multiple computers to add to groups
-
-Another way to add multiple computers to a deployment ring in the WSUS Administration Console is to use the search feature.
-
-**To search for multiple computers**
-
-1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers, right-click **All Computers**, and then click **Search**.
-
-2. In the search box, type **WIN10**.
-
-3. In the search results, select the computers, right-click the selection, and then click **Change Membership**.
-
- 
-
-4. Select the **Ring 3 Broad IT** deployment ring, and then click **OK**.
-
-You can now see these computers in the **Ring 3 Broad IT** computer group.
-
-
-
-## Use Group Policy to populate deployment rings
-
-The WSUS Administration Console provides a friendly interface from which you can manage Windows 10 quality and feature updates. When you need to add many computers to their correct WSUS deployment ring, however, it can be time-consuming to do so manually in the WSUS Administration Console. For these cases, consider using Group Policy to target the correct computers, automatically adding them to the correct WSUS deployment ring based on an Active Directory security group. This process is called *client-side targeting*. Before enabling client-side targeting in Group Policy, you must configure WSUS to accept Group Policy computer assignment.
-
-**To configure WSUS to allow client-side targeting from Group Policy**
-
-1. Open the WSUS Administration Console, and go to *Server_Name*\Options, and then click **Computers**.
-
- 
-
-2. In the **Computers** dialog box, select **Use Group Policy or registry settings on computers**, and then click **OK**.
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >This option is exclusively either-or. When you enable WSUS to use Group Policy for group assignment, you can no longer manually add computers through the WSUS Administration Console until you change the option back.
-
-Now that WSUS is ready for client-side targeting, complete the following steps to use Group Policy to configure client-side targeting:
-
-**To configure client-side targeting**
-
->[!TIP]
->When using client-side targeting, consider giving security groups the same names as your deployment rings. Doing so simplifies the policy-creation process and helps ensure that you don’t add computers to the incorrect rings.
-
-1. Open GPMC.
-
-2. Expand Forest\Domains\\*Your_Domain*.
-
-3. Right-click *Your_Domain*, and then click **Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here**.
-
-4. In the **New GPO** dialog box, type **WSUS – Client Targeting – Ring 4 Broad Business Users** for the name of the new GPO.
-
-5. Right-click the **WSUS – Client Targeting – Ring 4 Broad Business Users** GPO, and then click **Edit**.
-
- 
-
-6. In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update.
-
-7. Right-click **Enable client-side targeting**, and then click **Edit**.
-
-8. In the **Enable client-side targeting** dialog box, select **Enable**.
-
-9. In the **Target group name for this computer** box, type **Ring 4 Broad Business Users**. This is the name of the deployment ring in WSUS to which these computers will be added.
-
- 
-
-10. Close the Group Policy Management Editor.
-
-Now you’re ready to deploy this GPO to the correct computer security group for the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** deployment ring.
-
-**To scope the GPO to a group**
-
-1. In GPMC, select the **WSUS – Client Targeting – Ring 4 Broad Business Users** policy.
-
-2. Click the **Scope** tab.
-
-3. Under **Security Filtering**, remove the default **AUTHENTICATED USERS** security group, and then add the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** group.
-
- 
-
-The next time the clients in the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** security group receive their computer policy and contact WSUS, they will be added to the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** deployment ring.
-
-## Automatically approve and deploy feature updates
-
-For clients that should have their feature updates approved as soon as they’re available, you can configure Automatic Approval rules in WSUS.
-
->[!NOTE]
->WSUS respects the client’s servicing branch. If you approve a feature update while it is still Current Branch (CB), WSUS will install the update only on PCs that are in the CB servicing branch. When Microsoft releases the build for Current Branch for Business (CBB), the PCs in the CBB servicing branch will install it. Windows Update for Business branch settings do not apply to feature updates through WSUS.
-
-**To configure an Automatic Approval rule for Windows 10 feature updates and approve them for the Ring 3 Broad IT deployment ring**
-
-1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to Update Services\\*Server_Name*\Options, and then select **Automatic Approvals**.
-
-2. On the **Update Rules** tab, click **New Rule**.
-
-3. In the **Add Rule** dialog box, select the **When an update is in a specific classification**, **When an update is in a specific product**, and **Set a deadline for the approval** check boxes.
-
- 
-
-4. In the **Edit the properties** area, select **any classification**. Clear everything except **Upgrades**, and then click **OK**.
-
-5. In the **Edit the properties area**, click the **any product** link. Clear all check boxes except **Windows 10**, and then click **OK**.
-
- Windows 10 is under All Products\Microsoft\Windows.
-
-6. In the **Edit the properties** area, click the **all computers** link. Clear all the computer group check boxes except **Ring 3 Broad IT**, and then click **OK**.
-
-7. Leave the deadline set for **7 days after the approval at 3:00 AM**.
-
-8. In the **Step 3: Specify a name** box, type **Windows 10 Upgrade Auto-approval for Ring 3 Broad IT**, and then click **OK**.
-
- 
-
-9. In the **Automatic Approvals** dialog box, click **OK**.
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >WSUS does not honor any existing month/week/day deferral settings for CB or CBB. That said, if you’re using Windows Update for Business for a computer for which WSUS is also managing updates, when WSUS approves the update, it will be installed on the computer regardless of whether you configured Group Policy to wait.
-
-Now, whenever Windows 10 feature updates are published to WSUS, they will automatically be approved for the **Ring 3 Broad IT** deployment ring with an installation deadline of 1 week.
-
-## Manually approve and deploy feature updates
-
-You can manually approve updates and set deadlines for installation within the WSUS Administration Console, as well. To simplify the manual approval process, start by creating a software update view that contains only Windows 10 updates.
-
-**To approve and deploy feature updates manually**
-
-1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to Update Services\\*Server_Name*\Updates. In the **Action** pane, click **New Update View**.
-
-2. In the **Add Update View** dialog box, select **Updates are in a specific classification** and **Updates are for a specific product**.
-
-3. Under **Step 2: Edit the properties**, click **any classification**. Clear all check boxes except **Upgrades**, and then click **OK**.
-
-4. Under **Step 2: Edit the properties**, click **any product**. Clear all check boxes except **Windows 10**, and then click **OK**.
-
- Windows 10 is under All Products\Microsoft\Windows.
-
-5. In the **Step 3: Specify a name** box, type **All Windows 10 Upgrades**, and then click **OK**.
-
- 
-
-Now that you have the All Windows 10 Upgrades view, complete the following steps to manually approve an update for the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** deployment ring:
-
-1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to Update Services\\*Server_Name*\Updates\All Windows 10 Upgrades.
-
-2. Right-click the feature update you want to deploy, and then click **Approve**.
-
- 
-
-3. In the **Approve Updates** dialog box, from the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** list, select **Approved for Install**.
-
- 
-
-4. In the **Approve Updates** dialog box, from the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** list, click **Deadline**, click **One Week**, and then click **OK**.
-
- 
-
-5. If the **Microsoft Software License Terms** dialog box opens, click **Accept**.
-
- If the deployment is successful, you should receive a successful progress report.
-
- 
-
-6. In the **Approval Progress** dialog box, click **Close**.

+
+WSUS is a Windows Server role available in the Windows Server operating systems. It provides a single hub for Windows updates within an organization. WSUS allows companies not only to defer updates but also to selectively approve them, choose when they’re delivered, and determine which individual devices or groups of devices receive them. WSUS provides additional control over Windows Update for Business but does not provide all the scheduling options and deployment flexibility that System Center Configuration Manager provides.
+
+When you choose WSUS as your source for Windows updates, you use Group Policy to point Windows 10 client devices to the WSUS server for their updates. From there, updates are periodically downloaded to the WSUS server and managed, approved, and deployed through the WSUS administration console or Group Policy, streamlining enterprise update management. If you’re currently using WSUS to manage Windows updates in your environment, you can continue to do so in Windows 10.
+
+
+
+## Requirements for Windows 10 servicing with WSUS
+
+To be able to use WSUS to manage and deploy Windows 10 feature updates, you must have WSUS 4.0, which is available in the Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 operating systems. In addition to WSUS 4.0, you must install the [KB3095113](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3095113) and [KB3159706](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3159706) patches on the WSUS server.
+
+## WSUS scalability
+
+To use WSUS to manage all Windows updates, some organizations may need access to WSUS from a perimeter network, or they might have some other complex scenario. WSUS is highly scalable and configurable for organizations of any size or site layout. For specific information about scaling WSUS, including upstream and downstream server configuration, branch offices, WSUS load balancing, and other complex scenarios, see [Choose a Type of WSUS Deployment](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc720448%28v=ws.10%29.aspx).
+
+
+## Express Installation Files
+
+With Windows 10, quality updates will be larger than traditional Windows Updates because they’re cumulative. To manage the bandwidth clients downloading large updates like these will need, WSUS has a feature called *Express Installation Files*.
+
+ At a binary level, files associated with updates may not change a lot. In fact, with cumulative quality updates, most of the content will be from previous updates. Rather than downloading the entire update when only a small percentage of the payload is actually different, Express Installation Files analyze the differences between the new files associated with an update and the existing files on the client. This approach significantly reduces the amount of bandwidth used because only a fraction of the update content is actually delivered.
+
+ **To configure WSUS to download Express Update Files**
+
+1. Open the WSUS Administration Console.
+
+2. In the navigation pane, go to *Your_Server*\\**Options**.
+
+3. In the **Options** section, click **Update Files and Languages**.
+
+ 
+
+4. In the **Update Files and Languages** dialog box, select **Download express installation files**.
+
+ 
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >Because Windows 10 updates are cumulative, enabling Express Installation Files when WSUS is configured to download Windows 10 updates will significantly increase the amount of disk space that WSUS requires. Alternatively, when using Express Installation Files for previous versions of Windows, the feature’s positive effects aren’t noticeable because the updates aren’t cumulative.
+
+## Configure automatic updates and update service location
+
+When using WSUS to manage updates on Windows client devices, start by configuring the **Configure Automatic Updates** and **Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location** Group Policy settings for your environment. Doing so forces the affected clients to contact the WSUS server so that it can manage them. The following process describes how to specify these settings and deploy them to all devices in the domain.
+
+**To configure the Configure Automatic Updates and Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location Group Policy settings for your environment**
+
+1. Open GPMC.
+
+2. Expand Forest\Domains\\*Your_Domain*.
+
+3. Right-click *Your_Domain*, and then click **Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here**.
+
+ 
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >In this example, the **Configure Automatic Updates** and **Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location** Group Policy settings are specified for the entire domain. This is not a requirement; you can target these settings to any security group by using Security Filtering or a specific OU.
+
+4. In the **New GPO** dialog box, name the new GPO **WSUS – Auto Updates and Intranet Update Service Location**.
+
+5. Right-click the **WSUS – Auto Updates and Intranet Update Service Location** GPO, and then click **Edit**.
+
+6. In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update.
+
+7. Right-click the **Configure Automatic Updates** setting, and then click **Edit**.
+
+ 
+
+8. In the **Configure Automatic Updates** dialog box, select **Enable**.
+
+9. Under **Options**, from the **Configure automatic updating** list, select **3 - Auto download and notify for install**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ 
+
+ > [!NOTE]
+ > ?There are three other settings for automatic update download and installation dates and times. This is simply the option this example uses. For more examples of how to control automatic updates and other related policies, see [Configure Automatic Updates by Using Group Policy](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc720539%28v=ws.10%29.aspx).
+
+10. Right-click the **Specify intranet Microsoft update service location** setting, and then click **Edit**.
+
+11. In the **Specify intranet Microsoft update service location** dialog box, select **Enable**.
+
+12. Under **Options**, in the **Set the intranet update service for detecting updates** and **Set the intranet statistics server** options, type http://Your_WSUS_Server_FQDN:PortNumber, and then click **OK**.
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >The URL `http://CONTOSO-WSUS1.contoso.com:8530` in the following image is just an example. In your environment, be sure to use the server name and port number for your WSUS instance.
+
+ 
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >The default HTTP port for WSUS is 8530, and the default HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) port is 8531. If you’re unsure which port WSUS is using for client communication, right-click the WSUS Administration site in IIS Manager, and then click **Edit Bindings**.
+
+As Windows clients refresh their computer policies (the default Group Policy refresh setting is 90 minutes and when a computer restarts), computers start to appear in WSUS. Now that clients are communicating with the WSUS server, create the computer groups that align with your deployment rings.
+
+## Create computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>The following procedures use the groups from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) as examples.
+
+You can use computer groups to target a subset of devices that have specific quality and feature updates. These groups represent your deployment rings, as controlled by WSUS. You can populate the groups either manually by using the WSUS Administration Console or automatically through Group Policy. Regardless of the method you choose, you must first create the groups in the WSUS Administration Console.
+
+**To create computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console**
+
+1. Open the WSUS Administration Console.
+
+2. Go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers, and then click **Add Computer Group**.
+
+ 
+
+3. Type **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** for the name, and then click **Add**.
+
+4. Repeat these steps for the **Ring 3 Broad IT** and **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** groups. When you’re finished, there should be three deployment ring groups.
+
+Now that the groups have been created, add the computers to the computer groups that align with the desired deployment rings. You can do this through [Group Policy](#wsus-gp) or manually by using the [WSUS Administration Console](#wsus-admin).
+
+
+## Use the WSUS Administration Console to populate deployment rings
+
+Adding computers to computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console is simple, but it could take much longer than managing membership through Group Policy, especially if you have many computers to add. Adding computers to computer groups in the WSUS Administration Console is called *server-side targeting*.
+
+In this example, you add computers to computer groups in two different ways: by manually assigning unassigned computers and by searching for multiple computers.
+
+### Manually assign unassigned computers to groups
+
+When new computers communicate with WSUS, they appear in the **Unassigned Computers** group. From there, you can use the following procedure to add computers to their correct groups. For these examples, you use two Windows 10 PCs (WIN10-PC1 and WIN10-PC2) to add to the computer groups.
+
+**To assign computers manually**
+
+1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers\Unassigned Computers.
+
+ Here, you see the new computers that have received the GPO you created in the previous section and started communicating with WSUS. This example has only two computers; depending on how broadly you deployed your policy, you will likely have many computers here.
+
+2. Select both computers, right-click the selection, and then click **Change Membership**.
+
+ 
+
+3. In the **Set Computer Group Membership** dialog box, select the **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** deployment ring, and then click **OK**.
+
+ Because they were assigned to a group, the computers are no longer in the **Unassigned Computers** group. If you select the **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** computer group, you will see both computers there.
+
+### Search for multiple computers to add to groups
+
+Another way to add multiple computers to a deployment ring in the WSUS Administration Console is to use the search feature.
+
+**To search for multiple computers**
+
+1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to *Server_Name*\Computers\All Computers, right-click **All Computers**, and then click **Search**.
+
+2. In the search box, type **WIN10**.
+
+3. In the search results, select the computers, right-click the selection, and then click **Change Membership**.
+
+ 
+
+4. Select the **Ring 3 Broad IT** deployment ring, and then click **OK**.
+
+You can now see these computers in the **Ring 3 Broad IT** computer group.
+
+
+
+## Use Group Policy to populate deployment rings
+
+The WSUS Administration Console provides a friendly interface from which you can manage Windows 10 quality and feature updates. When you need to add many computers to their correct WSUS deployment ring, however, it can be time-consuming to do so manually in the WSUS Administration Console. For these cases, consider using Group Policy to target the correct computers, automatically adding them to the correct WSUS deployment ring based on an Active Directory security group. This process is called *client-side targeting*. Before enabling client-side targeting in Group Policy, you must configure WSUS to accept Group Policy computer assignment.
+
+**To configure WSUS to allow client-side targeting from Group Policy**
+
+1. Open the WSUS Administration Console, and go to *Server_Name*\Options, and then click **Computers**.
+
+ 
+
+2. In the **Computers** dialog box, select **Use Group Policy or registry settings on computers**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >This option is exclusively either-or. When you enable WSUS to use Group Policy for group assignment, you can no longer manually add computers through the WSUS Administration Console until you change the option back.
+
+Now that WSUS is ready for client-side targeting, complete the following steps to use Group Policy to configure client-side targeting:
+
+**To configure client-side targeting**
+
+>[!TIP]
+>When using client-side targeting, consider giving security groups the same names as your deployment rings. Doing so simplifies the policy-creation process and helps ensure that you don’t add computers to the incorrect rings.
+
+1. Open GPMC.
+
+2. Expand Forest\Domains\\*Your_Domain*.
+
+3. Right-click *Your_Domain*, and then click **Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here**.
+
+4. In the **New GPO** dialog box, type **WSUS – Client Targeting – Ring 4 Broad Business Users** for the name of the new GPO.
+
+5. Right-click the **WSUS – Client Targeting – Ring 4 Broad Business Users** GPO, and then click **Edit**.
+
+ 
+
+6. In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update.
+
+7. Right-click **Enable client-side targeting**, and then click **Edit**.
+
+8. In the **Enable client-side targeting** dialog box, select **Enable**.
+
+9. In the **Target group name for this computer** box, type **Ring 4 Broad Business Users**. This is the name of the deployment ring in WSUS to which these computers will be added.
+
+ 
+
+10. Close the Group Policy Management Editor.
+
+Now you’re ready to deploy this GPO to the correct computer security group for the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** deployment ring.
+
+**To scope the GPO to a group**
+
+1. In GPMC, select the **WSUS – Client Targeting – Ring 4 Broad Business Users** policy.
+
+2. Click the **Scope** tab.
+
+3. Under **Security Filtering**, remove the default **AUTHENTICATED USERS** security group, and then add the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** group.
+
+ 
+
+The next time the clients in the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** security group receive their computer policy and contact WSUS, they will be added to the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** deployment ring.
+
+## Automatically approve and deploy feature updates
+
+For clients that should have their feature updates approved as soon as they’re available, you can configure Automatic Approval rules in WSUS.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>WSUS respects the client’s servicing branch. If you approve a feature update while it is still Current Branch (CB), WSUS will install the update only on PCs that are in the CB servicing branch. When Microsoft releases the build for Current Branch for Business (CBB), the PCs in the CBB servicing branch will install it. Windows Update for Business branch settings do not apply to feature updates through WSUS.
+
+**To configure an Automatic Approval rule for Windows 10 feature updates and approve them for the Ring 3 Broad IT deployment ring**
+
+1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to Update Services\\*Server_Name*\Options, and then select **Automatic Approvals**.
+
+2. On the **Update Rules** tab, click **New Rule**.
+
+3. In the **Add Rule** dialog box, select the **When an update is in a specific classification**, **When an update is in a specific product**, and **Set a deadline for the approval** check boxes.
+
+ 
+
+4. In the **Edit the properties** area, select **any classification**. Clear everything except **Upgrades**, and then click **OK**.
+
+5. In the **Edit the properties area**, click the **any product** link. Clear all check boxes except **Windows 10**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ Windows 10 is under All Products\Microsoft\Windows.
+
+6. In the **Edit the properties** area, click the **all computers** link. Clear all the computer group check boxes except **Ring 3 Broad IT**, and then click **OK**.
+
+7. Leave the deadline set for **7 days after the approval at 3:00 AM**.
+
+8. In the **Step 3: Specify a name** box, type **Windows 10 Upgrade Auto-approval for Ring 3 Broad IT**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ 
+
+9. In the **Automatic Approvals** dialog box, click **OK**.
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >WSUS does not honor any existing month/week/day deferral settings for CB or CBB. That said, if you’re using Windows Update for Business for a computer for which WSUS is also managing updates, when WSUS approves the update, it will be installed on the computer regardless of whether you configured Group Policy to wait.
+
+Now, whenever Windows 10 feature updates are published to WSUS, they will automatically be approved for the **Ring 3 Broad IT** deployment ring with an installation deadline of 1 week.
+
+## Manually approve and deploy feature updates
+
+You can manually approve updates and set deadlines for installation within the WSUS Administration Console, as well. To simplify the manual approval process, start by creating a software update view that contains only Windows 10 updates.
+
+**To approve and deploy feature updates manually**
+
+1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to Update Services\\*Server_Name*\Updates. In the **Action** pane, click **New Update View**.
+
+2. In the **Add Update View** dialog box, select **Updates are in a specific classification** and **Updates are for a specific product**.
+
+3. Under **Step 2: Edit the properties**, click **any classification**. Clear all check boxes except **Upgrades**, and then click **OK**.
+
+4. Under **Step 2: Edit the properties**, click **any product**. Clear all check boxes except **Windows 10**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ Windows 10 is under All Products\Microsoft\Windows.
+
+5. In the **Step 3: Specify a name** box, type **All Windows 10 Upgrades**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ 
+
+Now that you have the All Windows 10 Upgrades view, complete the following steps to manually approve an update for the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** deployment ring:
+
+1. In the WSUS Administration Console, go to Update Services\\*Server_Name*\Updates\All Windows 10 Upgrades.
+
+2. Right-click the feature update you want to deploy, and then click **Approve**.
+
+ 
+
+3. In the **Approve Updates** dialog box, from the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** list, select **Approved for Install**.
+
+ 
+
+4. In the **Approve Updates** dialog box, from the **Ring 4 Broad Business Users** list, click **Deadline**, click **One Week**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ 
+
+5. If the **Microsoft Software License Terms** dialog box opens, click **Accept**.
+
+ If the deployment is successful, you should receive a successful progress report.
+
+ 
+
+6. In the **Approval Progress** dialog box, click **Close**.

-
-When considering your content distribution strategy for Windows 10, think about enabling a form of peer-to-peer content sharing to reduce bandwidth issues during updates. Windows 10 offers two peer-to-peer options for update content distribution: Delivery Optimization and BranchCache. These technologies can be used with several of the servicing tools for Windows 10.
-
-Two methods of peer-to-peer content distribution are available in Windows 10.
-
-- [Delivery Optimization](waas-delivery-optimization.md) is a new peer-to-peer distribution method in Windows 10. Windows 10 clients can source content from other devices on their local network that have already downloaded the updates or from peers over the internet. Using the settings available for Delivery Optimization, clients can be configured into groups, allowing organizations to identify devices that are possibly the best candidates to fulfil peer-to-peer requests.
-
- Windows Update, Windows Update for Business, and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) can use Delivery Optimization. Delivery Optimization can significantly reduce the amount of network traffic to external Windows Update sources as well as the time it takes for clients to retrieve the updates.
-
-- [BranchCache](waas-branchcache.md) is a bandwidth optimization technology that is included in some editions of Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 operating systems, as well as in some editions of Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows 7.
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >Full BranchCache functionality is supported in Windows 10 Enterprise and Education; Windows 10 Pro supports some BranchCache functionality, including BITS transfers used for servicing operations.
-
- Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager can use BranchCache to allow peers to source content from each other versus always having to contact a server. Using BranchCache, files are cached on each individual client, and other clients can retrieve them as needed. This approach distributes the cache rather than having a single point of retrieval, saving a significant amount of bandwidth while drastically reducing the time that it takes for clients to receive the requested content.
-
-

-| Method | Windows Update | Windows Update for Business | WSUS | Configuration Manager |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Delivery Optimization |  |  |  |  |
-| BranchCache |  |  | |  |

->[!NOTE]
->System Center Configuration Manager has an additional feature called Client Peer Cache that allows peer-to-peer content sharing between clients you use System Center Configuration Manager to manage, in the same Configuration Manager boundary Group. For more information, see [Client Peer Cache](https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/core/plan-design/hierarchy/client-peer-cache).
->
->In addition to Client Peer Cache, similar functionality is available in the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) for imaging-related content. Using this technology, clients imaging with System Center Configuration Manager task sequences can source operating system images, driver packages, boot images, packages, and programs from peers instead of distribution points.

-## Express update delivery
-
-Windows 10 quality update downloads can be large because every package contains all previously released fixes to ensure consistency and simplicity. Windows has been able to reduce the size of Windows Update downloads with a feature called Express.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Express update delivery applies to quality update downloads. Starting with Windows 10, version 1709, Express update delivery also applies to feature update downloads for clients connected to Windows Update and Windows Update for Business.
-
-### How Microsoft supports Express
-- **Express on System Center Configuration Manager** starting with version 1702 of Configuration Manager and Windows 10, version 1703 or later, or Windows 10, version 1607 with the April 2017 cumulative update.
-- **Express on WSUS Standalone**
-
- Express update delivery is available on [all support versions of WSUS](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc708456(v=ws.10).aspx).
-- **Express on devices directly connected to Windows Update**
-- **Enterprise devices managed using [Windows Update for Business](waas-manage-updates-wufb.md)** also get the benefit of Express update delivery support without any change in configuration.
-
-### How Express download works
-
-For OS updates that support Express, there are two versions of the file payload stored on the service:
-1. **Full-file version** - essentially replacing the local versions of the update binaries.
-2. **Express version** - containing the deltas needed to patch the existing binaries on the device.
-
-Both the full-file version and the Express version are referenced in the update's metadata, which has been downloaded to the client as part of the scan phase.
-
-**Express download works as follows:**
-
-The Windows Update client will try to download Express first, and under certain situations fall back to full-file if needed (for example, if going through a proxy that doesn't support byte range requests).
-
-1. When the Windows Update client initiates an Express download, **Windows Update first downloads a stub**, which is part of the Express package.
-2. **The Windows Update client passes this stub to the Windows installer**, which uses the stub to do a local inventory, comparing the deltas of the file on the device with what is needed to get to the latest version of the file being offered.
-3. **The Windows installer then requests the Windows Update client to download the ranges**, which have been determined to be required.
-4. **The client downloads these ranges and passes them to the Windows Installer**, which applies the ranges and then determines if additional ranges are needed. This repeats until the Windows installer tells the Windows Update client that all necessary ranges have been downloaded.
-
-At this point, the download is complete and the update is ready to be installed.
-
->[!TIP]
->Express will **always** be leveraged if your machines are updated regularly with the latest cumulative updates.

The Windows 10 operating system introduces a new way to build, deploy, and service Windows: Windows as a service. Microsoft has reimagined each part of the process, to simplify the lives of IT pros and maintain a consistent Windows 10 experience for its customers. These improvements focus on maximizing customer involvement in Windows development, simplifying the deployment and servicing of Windows client computers, and leveling out the resources needed to deploy and maintain Windows over time.

## Building
Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft released new versions of Windows every few years. This traditional deployment schedule imposed a training burden on users because the feature revisions were often significant. That schedule also meant waiting long periods without new features — a scenario that doesn’t work in today’s rapidly changing world, a world in which new security, management, and deployment capabilities are necessary to address challenges. Windows as a service will deliver smaller feature updates two times per year, around March and September, to help address these issues.

### Naming changes
-As part of the alignment with Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus, we are adopting common terminology to make it as easy as possible to understand the servicing process. Going forward, these are the new terms we will be using:
-* Semi-Annual Channel - We will be referring to Current Branch (CB) as "Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)", while Current Branch for Business (CBB) will simply be referred to as "Semi-Annual Channel".
-* Long-Term Servicing Channel - The Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) will be referred to as Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC).
+There are currently two release channels for Windows 10:
+
+- The **Semi-Annual Channel** receives feature updates twice per year.
+- The **Long Term Servicing Channel**, which is designed to be used only for specialized devices (which typically don't run Office) such as those that control medical equipment or ATM machines, receives new feature releases every two to three years.
>[!IMPORTANT]
->With each Semi-Annual Channel release, we recommend beginning deployment right away to devices selected for early adoption (targeted validation) and ramp up to full deployment at your discretion, regardless of the "Targeted" designation. This will enable you to gain access to new features, experiences, and integrated security as soon as possible. For more information, see the blog post [Windows 10 and the "disappearing" SAC-T](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Windows-10-and-the-disappearing-SAC-T/ba-p/199747).

-> Devices on the Semi-Annual Channel (formerly called Current Branch for Business) must have their diagnostic data set to **1 (Basic)** or higher, in order to ensure that the service is performing at the expected quality. If diagnostic data is set to **0**, the device will be treated as if it were in the Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)(formerly called Current Branch or CB) branch. For instructions to set the diagnostic data level, see [Configure the operating system diagnostic data level](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/configure-windows-diagnostic-data-in-your-organization#diagnostic-data-levels).

### Feature updates
With Windows 10, Microsoft will package new features into feature updates that can be deployed using existing management tools. Because feature updates are delivered more frequently than with previous Windows releases — twice per year, around March and September, rather than every 3–5 years — changes will be in bite-sized chunks rather than all at once and end user readiness time much shorter.
->[!TIP]
-> The feature update cadence has been aligned with Office 365 ProPlus updates. Starting with this falls' update, both Windows and Office will deliver their major updates semi-annually, around March and September. See [upcoming changes to Office 365 ProPlus update management](https://support.office.com/article/Overview-of-the-upcoming-changes-to-Office-365-ProPlus-update-management-78b33779-9356-4cdf-9d2c-08350ef05cca) for more information about changes to Office update management.
### Quality updates
Monthly updates in previous Windows versions were often overwhelming because of the sheer number of updates available each month. Many organizations selectively chose which updates they wanted to install and which they didn’t, and this created countless scenarios in which organizations deployed essential security updates but picked only a subset of non-security fixes.
-In Windows 10, rather than receiving several updates each month and trying to figure out which the organization needs, which ultimately causes platform fragmentation, administrators will see one cumulative monthly update that supersedes the previous month’s update, containing both security and non-security fixes. This approach makes patching simpler and ensures that customers’ devices are more closely aligned with the testing done at Microsoft, reducing unexpected issues resulting from patching. The left side of Figure 1 provides an example of Windows 7 devices in an enterprise and what their current patch level might look like. On the right is what Microsoft’s test environment PCs contain. This drastic difference is the basis for many compatibility issues and system anomalies related to Windows updates.

To align with the new method of delivering feature updates and quality updates in Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the concept of servicing channels to allow customers to designate how frequently their individual devices are updated. For example, an organization may have test devices that the IT department can update with new features as soon as possible, and then specialized devices that require a longer feature update cycle to ensure continuity.

### Semi-Annual Channel
-In the Semi-Annual servicing channel, feature updates are available as soon as Microsoft releases them. Windows 10, version 1511, had few servicing tool options to delay feature updates, limiting the use of the Semi-Annual servicing channel. Windows 10, version 1607 and onward, includes more servicing tools that can delay feature updates for up to 365 days. This servicing model is ideal for pilot deployments and testing of Windows 10 feature updates and for users such as developers who need to work with the latest features immediately. Once the latest release has gone through pilot deployment and testing, you will be able to choose the timing at which it goes into broad deployment.
+In the Semi-Annual servicing channel, feature updates are available as soon as Microsoft releases them. Windows 10, version 1511, had few servicing tool options to delay feature updates, limiting the use of the Semi-Annual servicing channel. Starting with Windows 10, version 1607, more servicing tools that can delay feature updates for up to 365 days are available. This servicing model is ideal for pilot deployments and testing of Windows 10 feature updates and for users such as developers who need to work with the latest features immediately. Once the latest release has gone through pilot deployment and testing, you will be able to choose the timing at which it goes into broad deployment.
-When Microsoft officially releases a feature update for Windows 10, it is made available to any PC not configured to defer feature updates so that those devices can immediately install it. Organizations that use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, or Windows Update for Business, however, can defer feature updates to selective devices by withholding their approval and deployment. In this scenario, the content available for the Semi-Annual Channel will be available but not necessarily immediately mandatory, depending on the policy of the management system. For more details about Windows 10 servicing tools, see [Servicing tools](#servicing-tools).

Organizations are expected to initiate targeted deployment on Semi-Annual Channel releases. All customers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and partners should use this time for testing and piloting within their environments. After 2-4 months, we will transition to broad deployment and encourage customers and partners to expand and accelerate the deployment of the release. For customers using Windows Update for Business, the Semi-Annual Channel provides three months of additional total deployment time before being required to update to the next release.

### Long-term Servicing Channel
-Specialized systems—such as PCs that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs—often require a longer servicing option because of their purpose. These devices typically perform a single important task and don’t need feature updates as frequently as other devices in the organization. It’s more important that these devices be kept as stable and secure as possible than up to date with user interface changes. The LTSC servicing model prevents Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB devices from receiving the usual feature updates and provides only quality updates to ensure that device security stays up to date. With this in mind, quality updates are still immediately available to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB clients, but customers can choose to defer them by using one of the servicing tools mentioned in the section Servicing tools.

For many IT pros, gaining visibility into feature updates early—before they’re available to the Semi-Annual Channel — can be both intriguing and valuable for future end user communications as well as provide the means to test for any issues on the next Semi-Annual Channel release. With Windows 10, feature flighting enables Windows Insiders to consume and deploy preproduction code to their test machines, gaining early visibility into the next build. Testing the early builds of Windows 10 helps both Microsoft and its customers because they have the opportunity to discover possible issues before the update is ever publicly available and can report it to Microsoft.

There are many tools with which IT pros can service Windows as a service. Each option has its pros and cons, ranging from capabilities and control to simplicity and low administrative requirements. The following are examples of the servicing tools available to manage Windows as a service updates:

Windows Update for Business can be used to defer updates by up to 365 days, depending on the version. These deployment options are available to clients in the Semi-Annual Channel. In addition to being able to use Group Policy to manage Windows Update for Business, either option can be configured without requiring any on-premises infrastructure by using Intune.
- **Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)** provides extensive control over Windows 10 updates and is natively available in the Windows Server operating system. In addition to the ability to defer updates, organizations can add an approval layer for updates and choose to deploy them to specific computers or groups of computers whenever ready.

-# Quick guide to Windows as a service

-**Applies to**

-- Windows 10

-- Windows 10 IoT Mobile
-
-Windows as a service is a new concept, introduced with the release of Windows 10. While [an extensive set of documentation](index.md) is available explaining all the specifics and nuances, here is a quick guide to the most important concepts.
-
-## Definitions
-
-Some new terms have been introduced as part of Windows as a service, so you should know what these terms mean.
-- **Feature updates** will be released twice per year, around March and September. As the name suggests, these will add new features to Windows 10, delivered in bite-sized chunks compared to the previous practice of Windows releases every 3-5 years.
-- **Quality updates** deliver both security and non-security fixes. They are typically released on the second Tuesday of each month ("Patch Tuesday"), though they can be released at any time. Quality updates include security updates, critical updates, servicing stack updates, and driver updates. Quality updates are cumulative, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific Windows 10 feature update. The "servicing stack" is the code that installs other updates, so they are important to keep current. For more information, see [Servicing stack updates](servicing-stack-updates.md).
-- **Insider Preview** builds are made available during the development of the features that will be shipped in the next feature update, enabling organizations to validate new features as well as compatibility with existing apps and infrastructure, providing feedback to Microsoft on any issues encountered.
-- **Servicing channels** allow organizations to choose when to deploy new features.
- - The **Semi-Annual Channel** receives feature updates twice per year.
- - The **Long Term Servicing Channel**, which is designed to be used only for specialized devices (which typically don't run Office) such as those that control medical equipment or ATM machines, receives new feature releases every two to three years.
-- **Deployment rings** are groups of devices used to initially pilot, and then to broadly deploy, each feature update in an organization.
-
-See [Overview of Windows as a service](waas-overview.md) for more information.
-
-For some interesting in-depth information about how cumulative updates work, see [Windows Updates using forward and reverse differentials](PSFxWhitepaper.md).
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-Windows 10 gains new functionality with twice-per-year feature update releases. Initially, organizations will use these feature update releases for pilot deployments to ensure compatibility with existing apps and infrastructure. After a period of time, typically about four months after the feature update release, broad deployment throughout the organization can begin. The exact timeframe is determined by feedback from customers, ISVs, OEMs, and others, with an explicit "ready for broad deployment" declaration signaling this to customers.
-
-Each Windows 10 feature update will be serviced with quality updates for 18 months from the date of the feature update release.
-
-Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB is a separate **Long Term Servicing Channel** version. Each release is supported for a total of 10 years (five years standard support, five years extended support). New releases are expected about every three years.
-
-See [Assign devices to servicing channels for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-channels-windows-10-updates.md) for more information.
-
-## Staying up to date
-
-The process for keeping Windows 10 up to date involves deploying a feature update, at an appropriate time after its release. A variety of tools management and patching tools such as Windows Update, Windows Update for Business, Windows Server Update Services, System Center Configuration Manager, and third-party products) can be used to help with this process. [Windows Analytics Upgrade Readiness](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/windows-analytics), a free tool to streamline Windows upgrade projects, is another important tool to help.
-
-Because app compatibility, both for desktop apps and web apps, is outstanding with Windows 10, extensive advanced testing isn’t required. Instead, only business-critical apps need to be tested, with the remaining apps validated through a series of pilot deployment rings. Once these pilot deployments have validated most apps, broad deployment can begin.
-
-This process repeats with each new feature update, twice per year. These are small deployment projects, compared to the big projects that were necessary with the old three-to-five-year Windows release cycles.
-
-Additional technologies such as BranchCache and Delivery Optimization, both peer-to-peer distribution tools, can help with the distribution of the feature update installation files.

-# Manage device restarts after updates
-
-
-**Applies to**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 10 Mobile
-
-> **Looking for consumer information?** See [Windows Update: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12373/windows-update-faq)
-
-You can use Group Policy settings, mobile device management (MDM) or Registry (not recommended) to configure when devices will restart after a Windows 10 update is installed. You can schedule update installation and set policies for restart, configure active hours for when restarts will not occur, or you can do both.
-
-## Schedule update installation
-
-In Group Policy, within **Configure Automatic Updates**, you can configure a forced restart after a specified installation time.
-
-To set the time, you need to go to **Configure Automatic Updates**, select option **4 - Auto download and schedule the install**, and then enter a time in the **Scheduled install time** dropdown. Alternatively, you can specify that installation will occur during the automatic maintenance time (configured using **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Maintenance Scheduler**).
-
-**Always automatically restart at the scheduled time** forces a restart after the specified installation time and lets you configure a timer to warn a signed-in user that a restart is going to occur.
-
-While not recommended, the same result can be achieved through Registry. Under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU**, set **AuOptions** to **4**, set the install time with **ScheduledInstallTime**, enable **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime** and specify the delay in minutes through **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTimeMinutes**. Similar to Group Policy, **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTimeMinutes** sets the timer to warn a signed-in user that a restart is going to occur.
-
-For a detailed description of these registry keys, see [Registry keys used to manage restart](#registry-keys-used-to-manage-restart).
-
-## Delay automatic reboot
-
-When **Configure Automatic Updates** is enabled in Group Policy, you can enable one of the following additional policies to delay an automatic reboot after update installation:
-
-- **Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours** prevents automatic restart during active hours.
-- **No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations** prevents automatic restart when a user is signed in. If a user schedules the restart in the update notification, the device will restart at the time the user specifies even if a user is signed in at the time. This policy only applies when **Configure Automatic Updates** is set to option **4-Auto download and schedule the install**.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> When using Remote Desktop Protocol connections, only active RDP sessions are considered as logged on users. Devices that do not have locally logged on users, or active RDP sessions, will be restarted.
-
-You can also use Registry, to prevent automatic restarts when a user is signed in. Under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU**, set **AuOptions** to **4** and enable **NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers**. As with Group Policy, if a user schedules the restart in the update notification, it will override this setting.
-
-For a detailed description of these registry keys, see [Registry keys used to manage restart](#registry-keys-used-to-manage-restart).
-
-## Configure active hours
-
-*Active hours* identify the period of time when you expect the device to be in use. Automatic restarts after an update will occur outside of the active hours.
-
-By default, active hours are from 8 AM to 5 PM on PCs and from 5 AM to 11 PM on phones. Users can change the active hours manually.
-
-Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, you can also specify the max active hours range. The specified range will be counted from the active hours start time.
-
-Administrators can use multiple ways to set active hours for managed devices:
-
-- You can use Group Policy, as described in the procedure that follows.
-- You can use MDM, as described in [Configuring active hours with MDM](#configuring-active-hours-with-mdm).
-- While not recommended, you can also configure active hours, as described in [Configuring active hours through Registry](#configuring-active-hours-through-registry).
-
-### Configuring active hours with Group Policy
-
-To configure active hours using Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and open the **Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours** policy setting. When the policy is enabled, you can set the start and end times for active hours.
-
-
-
-### Configuring active hours with MDM
-
-MDM uses the [Update/ActiveHoursStart and Update/ActiveHoursEnd](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn904962.aspx#Update_ActiveHoursEnd) and [Update/ActiveHoursMaxRange](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider#update-activehoursmaxrange) settings in the [Policy CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn904962.aspx) to configure active hours.
-
-### Configuring active hours through Registry
-
-This method is not recommended, and should only be used when neither Group Policy or MDM are available.
-Any settings configured through Registry may conflict with any existing configuration that uses any of the methods mentioned above.
-
-You should set a combination of the following registry values, in order to configure active hours.
-Under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate** use **SetActiveHours** to enable or disable active hours and **ActiveHoursStart**,**ActiveHoursEnd** to specify the range of active hours.
-
-For a detailed description of these registry keys, see [Registry keys used to manage restart](#registry-keys-used-to-manage-restart).

-### Configuring active hours max range
-
-With Windows 10, version 1703, administrators can specify the max active hours range users can set. This option gives you additional flexibility to leave some of the decision for active hours on the user's side, while making sure you allow enough time for updating. The max range is calculated from active hours start time.
-
-To configure active hours max range through Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and open the **Specify active hours range for auto-restarts**.
-
-To configure active hours max range through MDM, use [**Update/ActiveHoursMaxRange**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-activehoursmaxrange).
-
-## Limit restart delays
-
-After an update is installed, Windows 10 attempts automatic restart outside of active hours. If the restart does not succeed after 7 days (by default), the user will see a notification that restart is required. You can use the **Specify deadline before auto-restart for update installation** policy to change the delay from 7 days to a number of days between 2 and 14.
-
-## Control restart notifications
-
-In Windows 10, version 1703, we have added settings to control restart notifications for users.
-
-### Auto-restart notifications
-
-Administrators can override the default behavior for the auto-restart required notification. By default, this notification will dismiss automatically.
-
-To configure this behavior through Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and select **Configure auto-restart required notification for updates**. When configured to **2 - User Action**, a user that gets this notification must manually dismiss it.
-
-To configure this behavior through MDM, use [**Update/AutoRestartRequiredNotificationDismissal**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-AutoRestartRequiredNotificationDismissal)
-
-You can also configure the period prior to an update that this notification will show up on. The default value is 15 minutes.
-
-To change it through Group Policy, select **Configure auto-restart-reminder notifications for updates** under **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and select the period in minutes.
-
-To change it through MDM, use [**Update/AutoRestartNotificationSchedule**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-AutoRestartNotificationSchedule).
-
-
-In some cases, you don't need a notification to show up.
-
-To do so through Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and select **Turn off auto-restart notifications for update installations**.
-
-To do so through MDM, use [**Update/SetAutoRestartNotificationDisable**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-setautorestartnotificationdisable).
-
-### Scheduled auto-restart warnings
-
-Since users are not able to postpone a scheduled restart once the deadline has been reached, you can configure a warning reminder prior to the scheduled restart. You can also configure a warning prior to the restart, to notify users once the restart is imminent and allow them to save their work.
-
-To configure both through Group Policy, find **Configure auto-restart warning notifications schedule for updates** under **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update**. The warning reminder can be configured by **Reminder (hours)** and the warning prior to an imminent auto-restart can be configured by **Warning (mins)**.
-
-In MDM, the warning reminder is configured using [**Update/ScheduleRestartWarning**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-ScheduleRestartWarning) and the auto-restart imminent warning is configured using [**Update/ScheduleImminentRestartWarning**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-ScheduleImminentRestartWarning).
-
-### Engaged restart
-
-Engaged restart is the period of time when users are required to schedule a restart. Initially, Windows will auto-restart outside of working hours. Once the set period ends (7 days by default), Windows transitions to user scheduled restarts.
-
-The following settings can be adjusted for engaged restart:
-* Period of time before auto-restart transitions to engaged restart.
-* The number of days that users can snooze engaged restart reminder notifications.
-* The number of days before a pending restart automatically executes outside of working hours.
-
-In Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and pick **Specify Engaged restart transition and notification schedule for updates**.
-
-In MDM, use [**Update/EngagedRestartTransitionSchedule**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-EngagedRestartTransitionSchedule), [**Update/EngagedRestartSnoozeSchedule**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-EngagedRestartSnoozeSchedule) and [**Update/EngagedRestartDeadline**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-EngagedRestartDeadline) respectively.
-
-## Group Policy settings for restart
-
-In the Group Policy editor, you will see a number of policy settings that pertain to restart behavior in **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update**. The following table shows which policies apply to Windows 10.
-
-| Policy | Applies to Windows 10 | Notes |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours |  | Use this policy to configure active hours, during which the device will not be restarted. This policy has no effect if the **No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations** or **Always automatically restart at the scheduled time** policies are enabled. |
-| Always automatically restart at the scheduled time |  | Use this policy to configure a restart timer (between 15 and 180 minutes) that will start immediately after Windows Update installs important updates. This policy has no effect if the **No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations** policy is enabled. |
-| Specify deadline before auto-restart for update installation |  | Use this policy to specify how many days (between 2 and 14) an automatic restart can be delayed. This policy has no effect if the **No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations** or **Always automatically restart at the scheduled time** policies are enabled. |
-| No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations |  | Use this policy to prevent automatic restart when a user is logged on. This policy applies only when the **Configure Automatic Updates** policy is configured to perform scheduled installations of updates. There is no equivalent MDM policy setting for Windows 10 Mobile. |
-| Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations |  | |
-| Delay Restart for scheduled installations |  | |
-| Reschedule Automatic Updates scheduled installations |  | |
-
->[!NOTE]
->You can only choose one path for restart behavior.
->If you set conflicting restart policies, the actual restart behavior may not be what you expected.
->When using RDP, only active RDP sessions are considered as logged on users.

-## Registry keys used to manage restart
-The following tables list registry values that correspond to the Group Policy settings for controlling restarts after updates in Windows 10.
-
-**HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate**
-
-| Registry key | Key type | Value |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| ActiveHoursEnd | REG_DWORD | 0-23: set active hours to end at a specific hourstarts with 12 AM (0) and ends with 11 PM (23) |
-| ActiveHoursStart | REG_DWORD | 0-23: set active hours to start at a specific hourstarts with 12 AM (0) and ends with 11 PM (23) |
-| SetActiveHours | REG_DWORD | 0: disable automatic restart after updates outside of active hours1: enable automatic restart after updates outside of active hours |
-
-**HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU**
-
-| Registry key | Key type | Value |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime | REG_DWORD | 0: disable automatic reboot after update installation at scheduled time1: enable automatic reboot after update installation at ascheduled time |
-| AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTimeMinutes | REG_DWORD | 15-180: set automatic reboot to occur after given minutes |
-| AUOptions | REG_DWORD | 2: notify for download and notify for installation of updates3: automatically download and notify for installation of updates4: Automatically download and schedule installation of updates5: allow the local admin to configure these settings**Note:** To configure restart behavior, set this value to **4** |
-| NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers | REG_DWORD | 0: disable do not reboot if users are logged on1: do not reboot after an update installation if a user is logged on**Note:** If disabled : Automatic Updates will notify the user that the computer will automatically restart in 5 minutes to complete the installation |
-| ScheduledInstallTime | REG_DWORD | 0-23: schedule update installation time to a specific hourstarts with 12 AM (0) and ends with 11 PM (23) |
-
-There are 3 different registry combinations for controlling restart behavior:
-
-- To set active hours, **SetActiveHours** should be **1**, while **ActiveHoursStart** and **ActiveHoursEnd** should define the time range.
-- To schedule a specific installation and reboot time, **AUOptions** should be **4**, **ScheduledInstallTime** should specify the installation time, **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime** set to **1** and **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTimeMinutes** should specify number of minutes to wait before rebooting.
-- To delay rebooting if a user is logged on, **AUOptions** should be **4**, while **NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers** is set to **1**.

+
+# Manage device restarts after updates
+
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10
+
+
+> **Looking for consumer information?** See [Windows Update: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12373/windows-update-faq)
+
+You can use Group Policy settings, mobile device management (MDM) or Registry (not recommended) to configure when devices will restart after a Windows 10 update is installed. You can schedule update installation and set policies for restart, configure active hours for when restarts will not occur, or you can do both.
+
+## Schedule update installation
+
+In Group Policy, within **Configure Automatic Updates**, you can configure a forced restart after a specified installation time.
+
+To set the time, you need to go to **Configure Automatic Updates**, select option **4 - Auto download and schedule the install**, and then enter a time in the **Scheduled install time** dropdown. Alternatively, you can specify that installation will occur during the automatic maintenance time (configured using **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Maintenance Scheduler**).
+
+**Always automatically restart at the scheduled time** forces a restart after the specified installation time and lets you configure a timer to warn a signed-in user that a restart is going to occur.
+
+While not recommended, the same result can be achieved through Registry. Under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU**, set **AuOptions** to **4**, set the install time with **ScheduledInstallTime**, enable **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime** and specify the delay in minutes through **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTimeMinutes**. Similar to Group Policy, **AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTimeMinutes** sets the timer to warn a signed-in user that a restart is going to occur.
+
+For a detailed description of these registry keys, see [Registry keys used to manage restart](#registry-keys-used-to-manage-restart).
+
+## Delay automatic reboot
+
+When **Configure Automatic Updates** is enabled in Group Policy, you can enable one of the following additional policies to delay an automatic reboot after update installation:
+
+- **Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours** prevents automatic restart during active hours.
+- **No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations** prevents automatic restart when a user is signed in. If a user schedules the restart in the update notification, the device will restart at the time the user specifies even if a user is signed in at the time. This policy only applies when **Configure Automatic Updates** is set to option **4-Auto download and schedule the install**.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When using Remote Desktop Protocol connections, only active RDP sessions are considered as logged on users. Devices that do not have locally logged on users, or active RDP sessions, will be restarted.
+
+You can also use Registry, to prevent automatic restarts when a user is signed in. Under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU**, set **AuOptions** to **4** and enable **NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers**. As with Group Policy, if a user schedules the restart in the update notification, it will override this setting.
+
+For a detailed description of these registry keys, see [Registry keys used to manage restart](#registry-keys-used-to-manage-restart).
+
+## Configure active hours
+
+*Active hours* identify the period of time when you expect the device to be in use. Automatic restarts after an update will occur outside of the active hours.
+
+By default, active hours are from 8 AM to 5 PM on PCs and from 5 AM to 11 PM on phones. Users can change the active hours manually.
+
+Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, you can also specify the max active hours range. The specified range will be counted from the active hours start time.
+
+Administrators can use multiple ways to set active hours for managed devices:
+
+- You can use Group Policy, as described in the procedure that follows.
+- You can use MDM, as described in [Configuring active hours with MDM](#configuring-active-hours-with-mdm).
+- While not recommended, you can also configure active hours, as described in [Configuring active hours through Registry](#configuring-active-hours-through-registry).
+
+### Configuring active hours with Group Policy
+
+To configure active hours using Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and open the **Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours** policy setting. When the policy is enabled, you can set the start and end times for active hours.
+
+
+
+### Configuring active hours with MDM
+
+MDM uses the [Update/ActiveHoursStart and Update/ActiveHoursEnd](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn904962.aspx#Update_ActiveHoursEnd) and [Update/ActiveHoursMaxRange](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider#update-activehoursmaxrange) settings in the [Policy CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn904962.aspx) to configure active hours.
+
+### Configuring active hours through Registry
+
+This method is not recommended, and should only be used when neither Group Policy or MDM are available.
+Any settings configured through Registry may conflict with any existing configuration that uses any of the methods mentioned above.
+
+You should set a combination of the following registry values, in order to configure active hours.
+Under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate** use **SetActiveHours** to enable or disable active hours and **ActiveHoursStart**,**ActiveHoursEnd** to specify the range of active hours.
+
+For a detailed description of these registry keys, see [Registry keys used to manage restart](#registry-keys-used-to-manage-restart).
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>To configure active hours manually on a single device, go to **Settings** > **Update & security** > **Windows Update** and select **Change active hours**.

+
+### Engaged restart
+
+Engaged restart is the period of time when users are required to schedule a restart. Initially, Windows will auto-restart outside of working hours. Once the set period ends (7 days by default), Windows transitions to user scheduled restarts.
+
+The following settings can be adjusted for engaged restart:
+* Period of time before auto-restart transitions to engaged restart.
+* The number of days that users can snooze engaged restart reminder notifications.
+* The number of days before a pending restart automatically executes outside of working hours.
+
+In Group Policy, go to **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update** and pick **Specify Engaged restart transition and notification schedule for updates**.
+
+In MDM, use [**Update/EngagedRestartTransitionSchedule**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-EngagedRestartTransitionSchedule), [**Update/EngagedRestartSnoozeSchedule**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-EngagedRestartSnoozeSchedule) and [**Update/EngagedRestartDeadline**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider?UpdatePolicies#update-EngagedRestartDeadline) respectively.

-## Enroll devices in the Windows Insider Program
-
-To get started with the Windows Insider Program for Business, you will need to follow a few simple steps:
-
-1. On the [Windows Insider](https://insider.windows.com) website, go to **For Business > Getting Started** to [register your organizational Azure AD account](https://insider.windows.com/en-us/insidersigninaad/).
-2. **Register your domain**. Rather than have each user register individually for Insider Preview builds, administrators can simply [register their domain](https://insider.windows.com/en-us/for-business-organization-admin/) and control settings centrally.**Note:** The signed-in user needs to be a **Global Administrator** of the Azure AD domain in order to be able to register the domain.
-3. Make sure the **Allow Telemetry** setting is set to **2** or higher.
-4. Starting with Windows 10, version 1709, set policies to manage preview builds and their delivery:
-
-The **Manage preview builds** setting gives administrators control over enabling or disabling preview build installation on a device. You can also decide to stop preview builds once the release is public.
-* Group Policy: **Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update/Windows Update for Business** - *Manage preview builds*
-* MDM: **Update/ManagePreviewBuilds**
-
-The **Branch Readiness Level** settings allows you to choose between preview flight rings, and allows you to defer or pause the delivery of updates.
-* Group Policy: **Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update/ Windows Update for Business** - *Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received*
-* MDM: **Update/BranchReadinessLevel**
-

-In the past, traditional Windows deployments tended to be large, lengthy, and expensive. Windows 10 offers a new approach to deploying both quality and feature updates, making the process much simpler and therefore the planning much more straightforward. With Windows as a service, the methodology around updating Windows has completely changed, moving away from major upgrades every few years to iterative updates twice per year. Each iteration contains a smaller subset of changes so that they won’t seem like substantial differences, like they do today. This image illustrates the level of effort needed for traditional Windows deployments versus servicing Windows 10 and how it is now spread evenly over time versus spiking every few years.

-Windows 10 spreads the traditional deployment effort of a Windows upgrade, which typically occurred every few years, over smaller, continuous updates. With this change, you must approach the ongoing deployment and servicing of Windows differently. A strong Windows 10 deployment strategy begins with establishing a simple, repeatable process for testing and deploying each feature update. Here’s an example of what this process might look like:
-
-- **Configure test devices.** Configure test devices in the Windows Insider Program so that Insiders can test feature updates before they’re available to the Semi-Annual Channel. Typically, this would be a small number of test devices that IT staff members use to evaluate pre-releas builds of Windows. Microsoft provides current development builds to Windows Insider members approximately every week so that interested users can see the functionality Microsoft is adding. See the section Windows Insider for details on how to enroll in the Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 device.
-- **Identify excluded devices.** For some organizations, special-purpose devices such as those used to control factory or medical equipment or run ATMs require a stricter, less frequent feature update cycle than the Semi-annual Channel can offer. For those machines, you must install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to avoid feature updates for up to 10 years. Identify these devices, and separate them from the phased deployment and servicing cycles to help remove confusion for your administrators and ensure that devices are handled correctly.
-- **Recruit volunteers.** The purpose of testing a deployment is to receive feedback. One effective way to recruit pilot users is to request volunteers. When doing so, clearly state that you’re looking for feedback rather than people to just “try it out” and that there could be occasional issues involved with accepting feature updates right away. With Windows as a service, the expectation is that there should be few issues, but if an issue does arise, you want testers to let you know as soon as possible. When considering whom to recruit for pilot groups, be sure to include members who provide the broadest set of applications and devices to validate the largest number of apps and devices possible.
-- **Update Group Policy.** Each feature update includes new group policies to manage new features. If you use Group Policy to manage devices, the Group Policy Admin for the Active Directory domain will need to download a .admx package and copy it to their [Central Store](https://support.microsoft.com/help/929841/how-to-create-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administrative-templa) (or to the [PolicyDefinitions](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb530196.aspx) directory in the SYSVOL of a domain controller if not using a Central Store). Always manage new group polices from the version of Windows 10 they shipped with by using the Remote Server Administration Tools. The ADMX download package is created at the end of each development cycle and then posted for download. To find the ADMX download package for a given Windows build, search for “ADMX download for Windows build xxxx”. For details about Group Policy management, see [How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3087759/how-to-create-and-manage-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administra)
-- **Choose a servicing tool.** Decide which product you’ll use to manage the Windows updates in your environment. If you’re currently using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center Configuration Manager to manage your Windows updates, you can continue using those products to manage Windows 10 updates. Alternatively, you can use Windows Update for Business. In addition to which product you’ll use, consider how you’ll deliver the updates. With Windows 10, multiple peer-to-peer options are available to make update distribution faster. For a comparison of tools, see [Servicing tools](waas-overview.md#servicing-tools).
-- **Prioritize applications.** First, create an application portfolio. This list should include everything installed in your organization and any webpages your organization hosts. Next, prioritize this list to identify those that are the most business critical. Because the expectation is that application compatibility with Windows 10 will be high, only the most business critical applications should be tested before the pilot phase; everything else can be tested afterwards. For more information about identifying compatibility issues withe applications, see [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Analytics](../upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness.md).
-
->[!NOTE]
->This strategy is applicable to approaching an environment in which Windows 10 already exists. For information about how to deploy or upgrade to Windows 10 where another version of Windows exists, see [Plan for Windows 10 deployment](../planning/index.md).
->
->>Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB is a separate Long Term Servicing Channel version.
-
-Each time Microsoft releases a Windows 10 feature update, the IT department should use the following high-level process to help ensure that the broad deployment is successful:
-
-1. **Validate compatibility of business critical apps.** Test your most important business-critical applications for compatibility with the new Windows 10 feature update running on your Windows Insider machines identified in the earlier “Configure test machines” step of the Predeployment strategy section. The list of applications involved in this validation process should be small because most applications can be tested during the pilot phase. For more information about device and application compatibility in Windows 10, see the section Compatibility.
-2. **Target and react to feedback.** With Windows 10, Microsoft expects application and device compatibility to be high, but it’s still important to have targeted groups within both the IT department and business units to verify application compatibility for the remaining applications in your application portfolio. Because only the most business-critical applications are tested beforehand, this will represent the majority of application compatibility testing in your environment. This should not necessarily be a formal process but rather user validation through the use of a particular application. So, the next step is to deploy the feature update to early-adopting IT users and your targeted groups running in the Semi-annual channel that you identified in the “Recruit volunteers” step of the Predeployment strategy section. Be sure to communicate clearly that you’re looking for feedback as soon as possible, and state exactly how users can submit feedback to you. Should an issue arise, have a remediation plan in place to address it.
-3. **Deploy broadly.** Finally, focus on the large-scale deployment using deployment rings, like the ones discussed in Table 1. Build deployment rings that target groups of computers in your selected update-management product. To reduce risk as much as possible, construct your deployment rings in a way that splits individual departments into multiple rings. This way, if you were to encounter an issue, you don’t prevent any critical business from continuing. By using this method, each deployment ring reduces risk as more and more people have been updated in any particular department.

Typically, this would be a small number of test devices that IT staff members use to evaluate pre-releas builds of Windows. Microsoft provides current development builds to Windows Insider members approximately every week so that interested users can see the functionality Microsoft is adding. See the section Windows Insider for details on how to enroll in the Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 device.
+- **Identify excluded devices.** For some organizations, special-purpose devices such as those used to control factory or medical equipment or run ATMs require a stricter, less frequent feature update cycle than the Semi-annual Channel can offer. For those machines, you must install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to avoid feature updates for up to 10 years. Identify these devices, and separate them from the phased deployment and servicing cycles to help remove confusion for your administrators and ensure that devices are handled correctly.
+- **Recruit volunteers.** The purpose of testing a deployment is to receive feedback. One effective way to recruit pilot users is to request volunteers. When doing so, clearly state that you’re looking for feedback rather than people to just “try it out” and that there could be occasional issues involved with accepting feature updates right away. With Windows as a service, the expectation is that there should be few issues, but if an issue does arise, you want testers to let you know as soon as possible. When considering whom to recruit for pilot groups, be sure to include members who provide the broadest set of applications and devices to validate the largest number of apps and devices possible.
+- **Update Group Policy.** Each feature update includes new group policies to manage new features. If you use Group Policy to manage devices, the Group Policy Admin for the Active Directory domain will need to download a .admx package and copy it to their [Central Store](https://support.microsoft.com/help/929841/how-to-create-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administrative-templa) (or to the [PolicyDefinitions](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb530196.aspx) directory in the SYSVOL of a domain controller if not using a Central Store). Always manage new group polices from the version of Windows 10 they shipped with by using the Remote Server Administration Tools. The ADMX download package is created at the end of each development cycle and then posted for download. To find the ADMX download package for a given Windows build, search for “ADMX download for Windows build xxxx”. For details about Group Policy management, see [How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3087759/how-to-create-and-manage-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administra)
+- **Choose a servicing tool.** Decide which product you’ll use to manage the Windows updates in your environment. If you’re currently using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center Configuration Manager to manage your Windows updates, you can continue using those products to manage Windows 10 updates. Alternatively, you can use Windows Update for Business. In addition to which product you’ll use, consider how you’ll deliver the updates. With Windows 10, multiple peer-to-peer options are available to make update distribution faster. For a comparison of tools, see [Servicing tools](waas-overview.md#servicing-tools).
+- **Prioritize applications.** First, create an application portfolio. This list should include everything installed in your organization and any webpages your organization hosts. Next, prioritize this list to identify those that are the most business critical. Because the expectation is that application compatibility with Windows 10 will be high, only the most business critical applications should be tested before the pilot phase; everything else can be tested afterwards. For more information about identifying compatibility issues withe applications, see [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Analytics](../upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness.md).
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>This strategy is applicable to approaching an environment in which Windows 10 already exists. For information about how to deploy or upgrade to Windows 10 where another version of Windows exists, see [Plan for Windows 10 deployment](../planning/index.md).
+>
+>>Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB is a separate Long Term Servicing Channel version.
+
+Each time Microsoft releases a Windows 10 feature update, the IT department should use the following high-level process to help ensure that the broad deployment is successful:
+
+1. **Validate compatibility of business critical apps.** Test your most important business-critical applications for compatibility with the new Windows 10 feature update running on your Windows Insider machines identified in the earlier “Configure test machines” step of the Predeployment strategy section. The list of applications involved in this validation process should be small because most applications can be tested during the pilot phase. For more information about device and application compatibility in Windows 10, see the section Compatibility.
+2. **Target and react to feedback.** With Windows 10, Microsoft expects application and device compatibility to be high, but it’s still important to have targeted groups within both the IT department and business units to verify application compatibility for the remaining applications in your application portfolio. Because only the most business-critical applications are tested beforehand, this will represent the majority of application compatibility testing in your environment. This should not necessarily be a formal process but rather user validation through the use of a particular application. So, the next step is to deploy the feature update to early-adopting IT users and your targeted groups running in the Semi-annual channel that you identified in the “Recruit volunteers” step of the Predeployment strategy section. Be sure to communicate clearly that you’re looking for feedback as soon as possible, and state exactly how users can submit feedback to you. Should an issue arise, have a remediation plan in place to address it.
+3. **Deploy broadly.** Finally, focus on the large-scale deployment using deployment rings, like the ones discussed in Table 1. Build deployment rings that target groups of computers in your selected update-management product. To reduce risk as much as possible, construct your deployment rings in a way that splits individual departments into multiple rings. This way, if you were to encounter an issue, you don’t prevent any critical business from continuing. By using this method, each deployment ring reduces risk as more and more people have been updated in any particular department.

-
-An IT administrator can set policies for Windows Update for Business by using Group Policy, or they can be set locally (per device). All of the relevant policies are under the path **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update**.
-
-To manage updates with Windows Update for Business as described in this topic, you should prepare with these steps, if you haven't already:
-
-- Create Active Directory security groups that align with the deployment rings you use to phase deployment of updates. See [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) to learn more about deployment rings in Windows 10.
-- Allow access to the Windows Update service.
-- Download and install ADMX templates appropriate to your Windows 10 version. For more information, see [How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3087759) and [Step-By-Step: Managing Windows 10 with Administrative templates](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/canitpro/2015/10/20/step-by-step-managing-windows-10-with-administrative-templates/).
-
-
-## Set up Windows Update for Business
-
-In this example, one security group is used to manage updates. Typically we would recommend having at least three rings (early testers for pre-release builds, broad deployment for releases, critical devices for mature releases) to deploy. See [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) for more information.
-
-Follow these steps on a device running the Remote Server Administration Tools or on a domain controller:
-
-### Set up a ring
-1. Start Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc).
-2. Expand **Forest > Domains > *\*.
-3. Right-click *\* and select **Create a GPO in this domain and link it here**.
-4. In the **New GPO** dialog box, enter *Windows Update for Business - Group 1* as the name of the new Group Policy Object.
-5. Right-click the **Windows Update for Business - Group 1" object, and then select **Edit**.
-6. In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to **Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update**. You are now ready to start assigning policies to this ring (group) of devices.
-
-
-## Offering
-
-You can control when updates are applied, for example by deferring when an update is installed on a device or by pausing updates for a certain period of time.
-
-### Manage which updates are offered
-
-Windows Update for Business offers you the ability to turn on or off both driver and Microsoft product updates.
-
-- Drivers (on/off): **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Do not include drivers with Windows Updates**
-- Microsoft product updates (on/off): **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Get updates for other Microsoft Products**
-
-We recommend that you allow the driver policy to allow drivers to updated on devices (the default), but you can turn this setting off if you prefer to manage drivers manually. We also recommend that you leave the "Microsoft product updates" setting on.
-
-### Manage when updates are offered
-You can defer or pause the installation of updates for a set period of time.
-
-#### Defer or pause an update
-
-A Windows Update for Business administrator can defer or pause updates and preview builds. You can defer features updates for up to 365 days. You can pause feature or quality updates for up to 35 days from a given start date that you specify.
-
-- Defer or pause a feature update: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are Received**
-- Defer or pause a quality update: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Quality Updates are Received**
-
-#### Example
-
-In this example, there are three rings for quality updates. The first ring ("pilot") has a deferral period of 0 days. The second ring ("fast") has a deferral of five days. The third ring ("slow") has a deferral of ten days.
-
-
-
-When the quality update is released, it is offered to devices in the pilot ring the next time they scan for updates.
-
-##### Five days later
-The devices in the fast ring are offered the quality update the next time they scan for updates.
-
-
-
-##### Ten days later
-Ten days after the quality update is released, it is offered to the devices in the slow ring the next time they scan for updates.
-
-
-
-If no problems occur, all of the devices that scan for updates will be offered the quality update within ten days of its release, in three waves.
-
-##### What if a problem occurs with the update?
-
-In this example, some problem is discovered during the deployment of the update to the "pilot" ring.
-
-
-
-At this point, the IT administrator can set a policy to pause the update. In this example, the admin selects the **Pause quality updates** check box.
-
-
-
-Now all devices are paused from updating for 35 days. When the pause is removed, they will be offered the *next* quality update, which ideally will not have the same issue. If there is still an issue, the IT admin can pause updates again.
-
-
-
-#### Set branch readiness level for feature updates
-
-This policy only applies to feature updates. To enable preview builds for devices in your organization, set the "Enable preview builds" policy and then use the "Select when preview builds and feature updates are received" policy.
-
-We recommend that you set up a ring to receive preview builds by joining the Windows Insider Program for Business. By having a ring of devices receiving "pre-release slow" builds and learning about commercial pre-release features, you can ensure that any issues you have with the release are fixed before it is ever released and far before you broadly deploy.
-
-- Enable preview builds: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Manage Preview Builds**
-
-
-
-- Set branch readiness level: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are Received**

+You can defer or pause the installation of updates for a set period of time.
+
+#### Defer or pause an update
+
+A Windows Update for Business administrator can defer or pause updates and preview builds. You can defer features updates for up to 365 days. You can pause feature or quality updates for up to 35 days from a given start date that you specify.
+
+- Defer or pause a feature update: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are Received**
+- Defer or pause a quality update: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Quality Updates are Received**
+
+#### Example
+
+In this example, there are three rings for quality updates. The first ring ("pilot") has a deferral period of 0 days. The second ring ("fast") has a deferral of five days. The third ring ("slow") has a deferral of ten days.
+
+
+
+When the quality update is released, it is offered to devices in the pilot ring the next time they scan for updates.
+
+##### Five days later
+The devices in the fast ring are offered the quality update the next time they scan for updates.
+
+
+
+##### Ten days later
+Ten days after the quality update is released, it is offered to the devices in the slow ring the next time they scan for updates.
+
+
+
+If no problems occur, all of the devices that scan for updates will be offered the quality update within ten days of its release, in three waves.
+
+##### What if a problem occurs with the update?
+
+In this example, some problem is discovered during the deployment of the update to the "pilot" ring.
+
+
+
+At this point, the IT administrator can set a policy to pause the update. In this example, the admin selects the **Pause quality updates** check box.
+
+
+
+Now all devices are paused from updating for 35 days. When the pause is removed, they will be offered the *next* quality update, which ideally will not have the same issue. If there is still an issue, the IT admin can pause updates again.
+
+
+
+#### Set branch readiness level for feature updates
+
+This policy only applies to feature updates. To enable preview builds for devices in your organization, set the "Enable preview builds" policy and then use the "Select when preview builds and feature updates are received" policy.
+
+We recommend that you set up a ring to receive preview builds by joining the Windows Insider Program for Business. By having a ring of devices receiving "pre-release slow" builds and learning about commercial pre-release features, you can ensure that any issues you have with the release are fixed before it is ever released and far before you broadly deploy.
+
+- Enable preview builds: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Manage Preview Builds**
+
+
+
+- Set branch readiness level: **Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are Received**

-# Walkthrough: use Microsoft Intune to configure Windows Update for Business
-
-
-**Applies to**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 10 Mobile
-
-> **Looking for consumer information?** See [Windows Update: FAQ](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12373/windows-update-faq)
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Due to [naming changes](waas-overview.md#naming-changes), older terms like CB,CBB and LTSB may still be displayed in some of our products.
->
->In the following settings CB refers to Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted), while CBB refers to Semi-Annual Channel.
-
-You can use Intune to configure Windows Update for Business even if you don’t have on-premises infrastructure when you use Intune in conjunction with Azure AD. Before configuring Windows Update for Business, consider a [deployment strategy](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md) for updates and feature updates in your environment.
-
-Windows Update for Business in Windows 10 version 1511 allows you to delay quality updates up to 4 weeks and feature updates up to an additional 8 months after Microsoft releases builds to the Current Branch for Business (CBB) servicing branch. In Windows 10 version 1607 and later, you can delay quality updates for up to 30 days and feature updates up to an additional 180 days after the release of either a Current Branch (CB) or CBB build.
-
-To use Intune to manage quality and feature updates in your environment, you must first create computer groups that align with your constructed deployment rings.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Coming soon: [Intune Groups will be converted to Azure Active Directory-based Security Groups](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/deploy-use/use-groups-to-manage-users-and-devices-with-microsoft-intune)
-
-## Configure Windows Update for Business in Windows 10, version 1511
-
-In this example, you use two security groups to manage your updates: **Ring 4 Broad business users** and **Ring 5 Broad business users #2** from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md).
-
-- The **Ring 4 Broad business users** group contains PCs of IT members who test the updates as soon as they’re released for Windows clients in the Current Branch for Business (CBB) servicing branch. This phase typically occurs after testing on Current Branch (CB) devices.
-- The **Ring 5 Broad business users #2** group consists of the first line-of-business (LOB) users, who consume quality updates after 1 week and feature updates 1 month after the CBB release.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Although the [sample deployment rings](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) specify a feature update deferral of 2 weeks for Ring 5, deferrals in Windows 10, version 1511 are in increments of months only.

+
+ 
+
+20. Click **Save Policy**, and then click **Yes** at the **Deploy Policy** prompt.
+
+21. In the **Manage Deployment** dialog box, select the **Ring 5 Broad business users #2** computer group, click **Add**, and then click **OK**.
+
+## Configure Windows Update for Business in Windows 10 version 1607
+
+To use Intune to manage quality and feature updates in your environment, you must first create computer groups that align with your constructed deployment rings.
+
+In this example, you use three security groups from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) to manage your updates:
+
+- **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** contains the PCs of business users which are part of the pilot testing process, receiving CB builds 28 days after they are released.
+- **Ring 4 Broad business users** consists of IT members who receive updates after Microsoft releases a Windows 10 build to the CBB servicing branch.
+- **Ring 5 Broad business users #2** consists of LOB users on CBB, who receive quality updates after 7 days and feature updates after 14 days.
+
+### Configure Ring 2 Pilot Business Users policy
+
+1. Sign in to [https://manage.microsoft.com](https://manage.microsoft.com) with your Intune administrator credentials.
+
+2. Click the **Policy** workspace. In the middle pane, click **Configuration Policies**, and then click **Add** in the details pane.
+
+ 
+
+3. In the Create a New Policy Wizard, select **Windows\Custom Configuration (Windows 10 Desktop and Mobile and later)**, and then click **Create Policy**.
+
+4. Name the policy **Windows Update for Business - CB2**. Then, in the **OMA-URI Settings** section, click **Add**.
+
+4. In **Setting name**, type **Enable Clients for CB**, and then select **Integer** from the **Data type** list.
+
+6. In the **OMA-URI** box, type **./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Update/BranchReadinessLevel**.
+
+7. In the **Value** box, type **0**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >The OMA-URI settings are case sensitive, so be sure to review [Policy CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn904962.aspx) for the proper syntax.
+
+ 
+
+8. Because the **Ring 2 Pilot Business Users** deployment ring receives the CB feature updates after 28 days, in the **OMA-URI Settings** section, click **Add** to add another OMA-URI setting.
+
+8. In **Setting name**, type **Defer feature updates for 28 days**, and then select **Integer** from the **Data type** list.
+10. In the **OMA-URI** box, type **./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Update/DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodInDays**.
+11. In the **Value** box, type **28**, and then click **OK**.

This topic provides information on additional features that are available in Upgrade Readiness to provide insights into your environment. These include:
-- [Spectre and Meltdown protections](#spectre-and-meltdown-protection-status): Status of devices with respect to their anti-virus, security update, and firmware updates related to protection from the "Spectre" and "Meltdown" vulnerabilities.
- [Site discovery](#site-discovery): An inventory of web sites that are accessed by client computers running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 using Internet Explorer.
- [Office add-ins](#office-add-ins): A list of the Microsoft Office add-ins that are installed on client computers.
-## Spectre and Meltdown protection status
-Microsoft has published guidance for IT Pros that outlines the steps you can take to improve protection against the hardware vulnerabilities known as "Spectre" and "Meltdown." See [Windows Client Guidance for IT Pros to protect against speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=867468) for details about the vulnerabilities and steps you can take.
-
-Microsoft recommends three steps to help protect against the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities:
-- Verify that you are running a supported antivirus application.
-- Apply all available Windows operating system updates, including the January 2018 and later Windows security updates.
-- Apply any applicable processor firmware (microcode) updates provided by your device manufacturer(s).
-
-Upgrade Readiness reports on status of your devices in these three areas.
-
-
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->To provide these blades with data, ensure that your devices can reach the endpoint **http://adl.windows.com**. (See [Enrolling devices in Windows Analytics](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/windows-analytics-get-started) for more about necessary endpoints and how to whitelist them.)
-
-### Anti-virus status blade
-This blade helps you determine if your devices' anti-virus solution is compatible with the latest Windows operating system updates. It shows the number of devices that have an anti-virus solution with no known issues, issues reported, or an unknown status for a particular Windows security update. In the following example, an anti-virus solution that has no known issues with the January 3, 2018 Windows update is installed on about 2,800 devices.
-
-
-
-### Security update status blade
-This blade indicates whether a Windows security update that includes Spectre- or Meltdown-related fixes (January 3, 2018 or later) has been installed, as well as whether specific fixes have been disabled. Though protections are enabled by default on devices running Windows (but not Windows Server) operating systems, some IT administrators might choose to disable specific protections. In the following example, about 4,300 devices have a Windows security update that includes Spectre or Meltdown protections installed, and those protections are enabled.
-
-
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->If you are seeing computers with statuses of either “Unknown – action may be required” or “Installed, but mitigation status unknown,” it is likely that you need to whitelist the **http://adl.windows.com** endpoint.
-
-### Firmware update status blade
-This blade reports the number of devices that have installed a firmware update that includes Spectre or Meltdown protections. The blade might report a large number of blank, “unknown”, or “to be determined” statuses at first. As CPU information is provided by partners, the blade will automatically update with no further action required on your part.

## Site discovery
The IE site discovery feature in Upgrade Readiness provides an inventory of web sites that are accessed by client computers using Internet Explorer on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. Site discovery does not include sites that are accessed using other Web browsers, such as Microsoft Edge. Site inventory information is provided as optional data related to upgrading to Windows 10 and Internet Explorer 11, and is meant to help prioritize compatibility testing for web applications. You can make more informed decisions about testing based on usage data.

-# Demonstrate Autopilot deployment
-
-**Applies to**
-
-- Windows 10
-
-To get started with Windows Autopilot, you should try it out with a virtual machine (VM) or you can use a physical device that will be wiped and then have a fresh install of Windows 10.
-
-In this topic you'll learn how to set-up a Windows Autopilot deployment for a VM using Hyper-V. Note: Although there are [multiple platforms](administer.md) available to enable Autopilot, this lab primarily uses Intune.
-
->Hyper-V and a VM are not required for this lab. You can also use a physical device. However, the instructions assume that you are using a VM. To use a physical device, skip the instructions to install Hyper-V and create a VM. All references to 'device' in the guide refer to the client device, either physical or virtual.
-
-The following video provides an overview of the process:
-
-
-
-
->For a list of terms used in this guide, see the [Glossary](#glossary) section.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-These are the things you'll need to complete this lab:
-
Windows 10 installation media
Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise (ISO file), version 1703 or later is required. If you do not already have an ISO to use, a link is provided to download an evaluation version of Windows 10 Enterprise.
-
Internet access
If you are behind a firewall, see the detailed networking requirements. Otherwise, just ensure that you have a connection to the Internet.
-
Hyper-V or a physical device running Windows 10
The guide assumes that you will use a Hyper-V VM, and provides instructions to install and configure Hyper-V if needed. To use a physical device, skip the steps to install and configure Hyper-V.
-
A Premium Intune account
This guide will describe how to obtain a free 30-day trial premium account that can be used to complete the lab.

-## Verify support for Hyper-V
-
-If you don't already have Hyper-V, we must first enable this on a computer running Windows 10 or Windows Server (2012 R2 or later).
-
->If you already have Hyper-V enabled, skip to the [create a demo VM](#create-a-demo-vm) step. If you are using a physical device instead of a VM, skip to [Install Windows 10](#install-windows-10).
-
-If you are not sure that your device supports Hyper-V, or you have problems installing Hyper-V, see [appendix A](#appendix-a-verify-support-for-hyper-v) below for details on verifying that Hyper-V can be successfully installed.
-
-## Enable Hyper-V
-
-To enable Hyper-V, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt and run the following command:
-
-```powershell
-Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All
-```
-
-This command works on all operating systems that support Hyper-V, but on Windows Server operating systems you must type an additional command (below) to add the Hyper-V Windows PowerShell module and the Hyper-V Manager console. The following command will also install Hyper-V if it isn't already installed, so if you're using Windows Server, you can just type the following command instead of using the Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature command:
-
-```powershell
-Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -IncludeManagementTools
-```
-
-When you are prompted to restart the computer, choose **Yes**. The computer might restart more than once.
-
->Alternatively, you can install Hyper-V using the Control Panel in Windows under **Turn Windows features on or off** for a client operating system, or using Server Manager's **Add Roles and Features Wizard** on a server operating system, as shown below:
-
- 
-
- 
-
-
If you choose to install Hyper-V using Server Manager, accept all default selections. Also be sure to install both items under Role Administration Tools\Hyper-V Management Tools.
-
-After installation is complete, open Hyper-V Manager by typing **virtmgmt.msc** at an elevated command prompt, or by typing **Hyper-V** in the Start menu search box.
-
-To read more about Hyper-V, see [Introduction to Hyper-V on Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/about/) and [Hyper-V on Windows Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/hyper-v-on-windows-server).
-
-## Create a demo VM
-
-Now that Hyper-V is enabled, we need to create a VM running Windows 10. We can [create a VM](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/create-virtual-machine) and [virtual network](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/connect-to-network) using Hyper-V Manager, but it is simpler to use Windows PowerShell.
-
-To use Windows Powershell we just need to know two things:
-
-1. The location of the Windows 10 ISO file.
- - In the example, we assume the location is **c:\iso\win10-eval.iso**.
-2. The name of the network interface that connects to the Internet.
- - In the example, we use a Windows PowerShell command to determine this automatically.
-
-After we have set the ISO file location and determined the name of the appropriate network interface, we can install Windows 10.
-
-### Set ISO file location
-
-You can download an ISO file for an evaluation version of the latest release of Windows 10 Enterprise [here](https://www.microsoft.com/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise).
-- When asked to select a platform, choose **64 bit**.
-
-After you download this file, the name will be extremely long (ex: 17763.107.101029-1455.rs5_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us.iso).
-
-1. So that it is easier to type and remember, rename the file to **win10-eval.iso**.
-2. Create a directory on your computer named **c:\iso** and move the **win10-eval.iso** file there, so the path to the file is **c:\iso\win10-eval.iso**.
-3. If you wish to use a different name and location for the file, you must modify the Windows PowerShell commands below to use your custom name and directory.
-
-### Determine network adapter name
-
-The Get-NetAdaper cmdlet is used below to automatically find the network adapter that is most likely to be the one you use to connect to the Internet. You should test this command first by running the following at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:
-
-```powershell
-(Get-NetAdapter |?{$_.Status -eq "Up" -and !$_.Virtual}).Name
-```
-
-The output of this command should be the name of the network interface you use to connect to the Internet. Verify that this is the correct interface name. If it is not the correct interface name, you'll need to edit the first command below to use your network interface name.
-
-For example, if the command above displays Ethernet but you wish to use Ethernet2, then the first command below would be New-VMSwitch -Name AutopilotExternal -AllowManagementOS $true -NetAdapterName **Ethernet2**.
-
-### Use Windows PowerShell to create the demo VM
-
-All VM data will be created under the current path in your PowerShell prompt. Consider navigating into a new folder before running the following commands.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->**VM switch**: a VM switch is how Hyper-V connects VMs to a network.
If you have previously enabled Hyper-V and your Internet-connected network interface is already bound to a VM switch, then the PowerShell commands below will fail. In this case, you can either delete the existing VM switch (so that the commands below can create one), or you can reuse this VM switch by skipping the first command below and either modifying the second command to replace the switch name **AutopilotExternal** with the name of your switch, or by renaming your existing switch to "AutopilotExternal."
If you have never created an external VM switch before, then just run the commands below.
-
-```powershell
-New-VMSwitch -Name AutopilotExternal -AllowManagementOS $true -NetAdapterName (Get-NetAdapter |?{$_.Status -eq "Up" -and !$_.Virtual}).Name
-New-VM -Name WindowsAutopilot -MemoryStartupBytes 2GB -BootDevice VHD -NewVHDPath .\VMs\WindowsAutopilot.vhdx -Path .\VMData -NewVHDSizeBytes 80GB -Generation 2 -Switch AutopilotExternal
-Add-VMDvdDrive -Path c:\iso\win10-eval.iso -VMName WindowsAutopilot
-Start-VM -VMName WindowsAutopilot
-```
-
-After entering these commands, connect to the VM that you just created and wait for a prompt to press a key and boot from the DVD. You can connect to the VM by double-clicking it in Hyper-V Manager.
-
-See the sample output below. In this sample, the VM is created under the **c:\autopilot** directory and the vmconnect.exe command is used (which is only available on Windows Server). If you installed Hyper-V on Windows 10, use Hyper-V Manager to connect to your VM.
-
-
-
-### Install Windows 10
-
-Ensure the VM booted from the installation ISO, click **Next** then click **Install now** and complete the Windows installation process. See the following examples:
-
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-
->After the VM restarts, during OOBE, it’s fine to select **Set up for personal use** or **Domain join instead** and then choose an offline account on the **Sign in** screen. This will offer the fastest way to the desktop. For example:
-
- 
-
-Once the installation is complete, sign in and verify that you are at the Windows 10 desktop, then create your first Hyper-V checkpoint. Checkpoints are used to restore the VM to a previous state. You will create multiple checkpoints throughout this lab, which can be used later to go through the process again.
-
- 
-
-To create your first checkpoint, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the computer running Hyper-V (not on the VM) and run the following:
-
-```powershell
-Checkpoint-VM -Name WindowsAutopilot -SnapshotName "Finished Windows install"
-```
-
-Click on the **WindowsAutopilot** VM in Hyper-V Manager and verify that you see **Finished Windows Install** listed in the Checkpoints pane.
-
-## Capture the hardware ID
-
->NOTE: Normally, the Device ID is captured by the OEM as they run the OA3 Tool on each device in the factory. The OEM then submits the 4K HH created by the OA3 Tool to Microsoft by submitting it with a Computer Build Report (CBR). For purposes of this lab, you are acting as the OEM (capturing the 4K HH), but you’re not going to use the OA3 Tool to capture the full 4K HH for various reasons (you’d have to install the OA3 tool, your device couldn’t have a volume license version of Windows, it’s a more complicated process than using a PS script, etc.). Instead, you’ll simulate running the OA3 tool by running a PowerShell script, which captures the device 4K HH just like the OA3 tool.
-
-Follow these steps to run the PS script:
-
-1. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt and run the following commands. These commands are the same regardless of whether you are using a VM or a physical device:
-
- ```powershell
- md c:\HWID
- Set-Location c:\HWID
- Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
- Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -Force
- $env:Path += ";C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Scripts"
- Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo.ps1 -OutputFile AutopilotHWID.csv
- ```
-
-When you are prompted to install the NuGet package, choose **Yes**.
-
-See the sample output below.
-
-
-PS C:\> md c:\HWID
-
- Directory: C:\
-
-Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

-PS C:\HWID> Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
-PS C:\HWID> Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -Force
-
-NuGet provider is required to continue
-PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet
- provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or
-'C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by running
- 'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install and
-import the NuGet provider now?

----- ------------- ------ ----
--a---- 3/14/2019 11:33 AM 8184 AutopilotHWID.csv
-
-PS C:\HWID>
-
-
-Verify that there is an **AutopilotHWID.csv** file in the **c:\HWID** directory that is about 8 KB in size. This file contains the complete 4K HH.
-
-**Note**: Although the .csv extension might be associated with Microsoft Excel, you cannot view the file properly by double-clicking it. To correctly parse the comma delimiters and view the file in Excel, you must use the **Data** > **From Text/CSV** function in Excel to import the appropriate data columns. You don't need to view the file in Excel unless you are curious. The file format will be validated when it is imported into Autopilot. An example of the data in this file is shown below.
-
-
-
-You will need to upload this data into Intune to register your device for Autopilot, so it needs to be transferred to the computer you will use to access the Azure portal. If you are using a physical device instead of a VM, you can copy the file to a USB stick. If you’re using a VM, you can right-click the AutopilotHWID.csv file and copy it, then right-click and paste the file to your desktop (outside the VM).
-
-If you have trouble copying and pasting the file, just view the contents in Notepad on the VM and copy the text into Notepad outside the VM. Do not use another text editor to do this.
-
->[!NOTE]
->When copying and pasting to or from VMs, avoid clicking other things with your mouse cursor between the copy and paste process as this can empty or overwrite the clipboard and require that you start over. Go directly from copy to paste.
-
-## Reset the VM back to Out-Of-Box-Experience (OOBE)
-
-With the hardware ID captured in a file, prepare your Virtual Machine for Windows Autopilot deployment by resetting it back to OOBE.
-
-On the Virtual Machine, go to **Settings > Update & Security > Recovery** and click on **Get started** under **Reset this PC**.
-Select **Remove everything** and **Just remove my files**. Finally, click on **Reset**.
-
-
-
-Resetting the VM or device can take a while. Proceed to the next step (verify subscription level) during the reset process.
-
-
-
-## Verify subscription level
-
-For this lab, you need an AAD Premium subscription. You can tell if you have a Premium subscription by navigating to the [MDM enrollment configuration](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/Mobility) blade. See the following example:
-
-**Azure Active Directory** > **Mobility (MDM and MAM)** > **Microsoft Intune**
-
-
-
-If the configuration blade shown above does not appear, it’s likely that you don’t have a **Premium** subscription. Auto-enrollment is a feature only available in AAD Premium.
-
-To convert your Intune trial account to a free Premium trial account, navigate to **Azure Active Directory** > **Licenses** > **All products** > **Try / Buy** and select **Free trial** for Azure AD Premium, or EMS E5.
-
-
-
-## Configure company branding
-
-If you already have company branding configured in Azure Active Directory, you can skip this step.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Make sure to sign-in with a Global Administrator account.
-
-Navigate to [Company branding in Azure Active Directory](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/LoginTenantBranding), click on **Configure** and configure any type of company branding you'd like to see during the OOBE.
-
-
-
-When you are finished, click **Save**.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Changes to company branding can take up to 30 minutes to apply.
-
-## Configure Microsoft Intune auto-enrollment
-
-If you already have MDM auto-enrollment configured in Azure Active Directory, you can skip this step.
-
-Open [Mobility (MDM and MAM) in Azure Active Directory](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/Mobility) and select **Microsoft Intune**. If you do not see Microsoft Intune, click **Add application** and choose **Intune**.
-
-For the purposes of this demo, select **All** under the **MDM user scope** and click **Save**.
-
-
-
-## Register your VM
-
-Your VM (or device) can be registered either via Intune or Microsoft Store for Business (MSfB). Both processes are shown here, but only pick one for purposes of this lab. We highly recommend using Intune rather than MSfB.
-
-### Autopilot registration using Intune
-
-1. In Intune in the Azure portal, choose **Device enrollment** > **Windows enrollment** > **Devices** > **Import**.
-
- 
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >If menu items like **Windows enrollment** are not active for you, then look to the far-right blade in the UI. You might need to provide Intune configuration privileges in a challenge window that appeared.
-
-2. Under **Add Windows Autopilot devices** in the far right pane, browse to the **AutopilotHWID.csv** file you previously copied to your local computer. The file should contain the serial number and 4K HH of your VM (or device). It’s okay if other fields (Windows Product ID) are left blank.
-
- 
-
- You should receive confirmation that the file is formatted correctly before uploading it, as shown above.
-
-3. Click **Import** and wait until the import process completes. This can take up to 15 minutes.
-
-4. Click **Sync** to sync the device you just registered. Wait a few moments before refreshing to verify your VM or device has been added. See the following example.
-
- 
-
-### Autopilot registration using MSfB
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->If you've already registered your VM (or device) using Intune, then skip this step.
-
-Optional: see the following video for an overview of the process.
-
-
-
-> [!video https://www.youtube.com/embed/IpLIZU_j7Z0]
-
-First, you need a MSfB account. You can use the same one you created above for Intune, or follow [these instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-store/windows-store-for-business-overview) to create a new one.
-
-Next, sign in to [Microsoft Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/store) using your test account by clicking **Sign in** in the upper-right-corner of the main page.
-
-Select **Manage** from the top menu, then click the **Windows Autopilot Deployment Program** link under the **Devices** card. See the following example:
-
-
-
-Click the **Add devices** link to upload your CSV file. A message will appear indicating your request is being processed. Wait a few moments before refreshing to see your new device has been added.
-
-
-
-## Create and assign a Windows Autopilot deployment profile
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Autopilot profiles can be created and assigned to your registered VM or device either through Intune or MSfB. Both processes are shown here, but only pick one for purposes of this lab:
-
-Pick one:
-- [Create profiles using Intune](#create-a-windows-autopilot-deployment-profile-using-intune)
-- [Create profiles using MSfB](#create-a-windows-autopilot-deployment-profile-using-msfb)
-
-### Create a Windows Autopilot deployment profile using Intune
-
->[!NOTE]
->Even if you registered your device in MSfB, it will still appear in Intune, though you might have to **sync** and then **refresh** your device list first:
-
-
-
->The example above lists both a physical device and a VM. Your list should only include only one of these.
-
-To create a Windows Autopilot profile, select **Device enrollment** > **Windows enrollment** > **Deployment profiles**
-
-
-
-Click on **Create profile**.
-
-
-
-On the **Create profile** blade, use the following values:
-
-| Setting | Value |
-|---|---|
-| Name | Autopilot Lab profile |
-| Description | blank |
-| Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot | No |
-| Deployment mode | User-driven |
-| Join to Azure AD as | Azure AD joined |
-
-Click on **Out-of-box experience (OOBE)** and configure the following settings:
-
-| Setting | Value |
-|---|---|
-| EULA | Hide |
-| Privacy Settings | Hide |
-| Hide change account options | Hide |
-| User account type | Standard |
-| Apply device name template | No |
-
-See the following example:
-
-
-
-Click on **OK** and then click on **Create**.
-
->If you want to add an app to your profile via Intune, the OPTIONAL steps for doing so can be found in [Appendix B: Adding apps to your profile](#appendix-b-adding-apps-to-your-profile).
-
-#### Assign the profile
-
-Profiles can only be assigned to Groups, so first you must create a group that contains the devices to which the profile should be applied. This guide will provide simple instructions to assign a profile, for more detailed instructions, see [Create an Autopilot device group](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#create-an-autopilot-device-group) and [Assign an Autopilot deployment profile to a device group](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#assign-an-autopilot-deployment-profile-to-a-device-group), as optional reading.
-
-To create a Group, open the Azure Portal and select **Azure Active Directory** > **Groups** > **All groups**:
-
-
-
-Select New group from the Groups blade to open the new groups UI. Select the “Security” group type, name the group, and select the “Assigned” membership type:
-
-Before clicking **Create**, expand the **Members** panel, click your device's serial number (it will then appear under **Selected members**) and then click **Select** to add that device to this group.
-
-
-
-Now click **Create** to finish creating the new group.
-
-Click on **All groups** and click **Refresh** to verify that your new group has been successfully created.
-
-With a group created containing your device, you can now go back and assign your profile to that group. Navigate back to the Intune page in the Azure portal (one way is to type **Intune** in the top banner search bar and select **Intune** from the results).
-
-From Intune, select **Device enrollment** > **Windows enrollment** > **Deployment Profiles** to open the profile blade. Click on the name of the profile you previously created (Autopilot Lab profile) to open the details blade for that profile:
-
-
-
-Under **Manage**, click **Assignments**, and then with the **Include** tab highlighted, expand the **Select groups** blade and click **AP Lab Group 1** (the group will appear under **Selected members**).
-
-
-
-Click **Select** and then click **Save**.
-
-
-
-It’s also possible to assign specific users to a profile, but we will not cover this scenario in the lab. For more detailed information, see [Enroll Windows devices in Intune by using Windows Autopilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot).
-
-### Create a Windows Autopilot deployment profile using MSfB
-
-If you have already created and assigned a profile via Intune by using the steps immediately above, then skip this section.
-
-A [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpLIZU_j7Z0) is available that covers the steps required to create and assign profiles in MSfB. These steps are also summarized below.
-
-First, sign in to the [Microsoft Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/manage/dashboard) using the Intune account you initially created for this lab.
-
-Click **Manage** from the top menu, then click **Devices** from the left navigation tree.
-
-
-
-Click the **Windows Autopilot Deployment Program** link in the **Devices** tile.
-
-To CREATE the profile:
-
-Select your device from the **Devices** list:
-
-
-
-On the Autopilot deployment dropdown menu, select **Create new profile**:
-
-
-
-Name the profile, choose your desired settings, and then click **Create**:
-
-
-
-The new profile is added to the Autopilot deployment list.
-
-To ASSIGN the profile:
-
-To assign (or reassign) the profile to a device, select the checkboxes next to the device you registered for this lab, then select the profile you want to assign from the **Autopilot deployment** dropdown menu as shown:
-
-
-
-Confirm the profile was successfully assigned to the intended device by checking the contents of the **Profile** column:
-
-
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->The new profile will only be applied if the device has not been started, and gone through OOBE. Settings from a different profile can't be applied when another profile has been applied. Windows would need to be reinstalled on the device for the second profile to be applied to the device.
-
-## See Windows Autopilot in action
-
-If you shut down your VM after the last reset, it’s time to start it back up again, so it can progress through the Autopilot OOBE experience but do not attempt to start your device again until the **PROFILE STATUS** for your device in Intune has changed from **Not assigned** to **Assigning** and finally **Assigned**:
-
-
-
-Also, make sure to wait at least 30 minutes from the time you've [configured company branding](#configure-company-branding), otherwise these changes might not show up.
-
->[!TIP]
->If you reset your device previously after collecting the 4K HH info, and then let it restart back to the first OOBE screen, then you might need to restart the device again to ensure the device is recognized as an Autopilot device and displays the Autopilot OOBE experience you’re expecting. If you do not see the Autopilot OOBE experience, then reset the device again (Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and click on Get started. Under Reset this PC, select Remove everything and Just remove my files. Click on Reset).
-
-- Ensure your device has an internet connection.
-- Turn on the device
-- Verify that the appropriate OOBE screens (with appropriate Company Branding) appear. You should see the region selection screen, the keyboard selection screen, and the second keyboard selection screen (which you can skip).
-
-
-
-Soon after reaching the desktop, the device should show up in Intune as an **enabled** Autopilot device. Go into the Intune Azure portal, and select **Devices > All devices**, then **Refresh** the data to verify that your device has changed from disabled to enabled, and the name of the device is updated.
-
-
-
-Once you select a language and a keyboard layout, your company branded sign-in screen should appear. Provide your Azure Active Directory credentials and you're all done.
-
-Windows Autopilot will now take over to automatically join your device into Azure Active Directory and enroll it to Microsoft Intune. Use the checkpoints you've created to go through this process again with different settings.
-
-## Remove devices from Autopilot
-
-To use the device (or VM) for other purposes after completion of this lab, you will need to remove (deregister) it from Autopilot via either Intune or MSfB, and then reset it. Instructions for deregistering devices can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#create-an-autopilot-device-group) and [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/devices-wipe#delete-devices-from-the-azure-active-directory-portal) and below.
-
-### Delete (deregister) Autopilot device
-
-You need to delete (or retire, or factory reset) the device from Intune before deregistering the device from Autopilot. To delete the device from Intune (not Azure Active Directory), log into your Intune Azure portal, then navigate to **Intune > Devices > All Devices**. Select the checkbox next to the device you want to delete, then click the Delete button along the top menu.
-
-
-
-Click **X** when challenged to complete the operation:
-
-
-
-This will remove the device from Intune management, and it will disappear from **Intune > Devices > All devices**. But this does not yet deregister the device from Autopilot, so the device should still appear under **Intune > Device Enrollment > Windows Enrollment > Windows Autopilot Deployment Program > Devices**.
-
-
-
-The **Intune > Devices > All Devices** list and the **Intune > Device Enrollment > Windows Enrollment > Windows Autopilot Deployment Program > Devices** list mean different things and are two completely separate datastores. The former (All devices) is the list of devices currently enrolled into Intune. Note: A device will only appear in the All devices list once it has booted. The latter (Windows Autopilot Deployment Program > Devices) is the list of devices currently registered from that Intune account into the Autopilot program - which may or may not be enrolled to Intune.
-
-To remove the device from the Autopilot program, select the device and click Delete.
-
-
-
-A warning message appears reminding you to first remove the device from Intune, which we previously did.
-
-
-
-At this point, your device has been unenrolled from Intune and also deregistered from Autopilot. After several minutes, click the **Sync** button, followed by the **Refresh** button to confirm the device is no longer listed in the Autopilot program:
-
-
-
-Once the device no longer appears, you are free to reuse it for other purposes.
-
-If you also (optionally) want to remove your device from AAD, navigate to **Azure Active Directory > Devices > All Devices**, select your device, and click the delete button:

-## Appendix A: Verify support for Hyper-V
-
-Starting with Windows 8, the host computer’s microprocessor must support second level address translation (SLAT) to install Hyper-V. See [Hyper-V: List of SLAT-Capable CPUs for Hosts](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1401.hyper-v-list-of-slat-capable-cpus-for-hosts.aspx) for more information.
-
-To verify your computer supports SLAT, open an administrator command prompt, type **systeminfo**, press ENTER, scroll down, and review the section displayed at the bottom of the output, next to Hyper-V Requirements. See the following example:
-
-
-C:>systeminfo
-
-...
-Hyper-V Requirements: VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes
- Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes
- Second Level Address Translation: Yes
- Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes
-
-
-In this example, the computer supports SLAT and Hyper-V.
-
->If one or more requirements are evaluated as **No** then the computer does not support installing Hyper-V. However, if only the virtualization setting is incompatible, you might be able to enable virtualization in the BIOS and change the **Virtualization Enabled In Firmware** setting from **No** to **Yes**. The location of this setting will depend on the manufacturer and BIOS version, but is typically found associated with the BIOS security settings.
-
-You can also identify Hyper-V support using [tools](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/taylorb/2008/06/19/hyper-v-will-my-computer-run-hyper-v-detecting-intel-vt-and-amd-v/) provided by the processor manufacturer, the [msinfo32](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731397.aspx) tool, or you can download the [coreinfo](https://technet.microsoft.com/sysinternals/cc835722) utility and run it, as shown in the following example:

-## Appendix B: Adding apps to your profile
-
-### Add a Win32 app
-
-#### Prepare the app for Intune
-
-Before we can pull an application into Intune to make it part of our AP profile, we need to “package” the application for delivery using the [IntuneWinAppUtil.exe command-line tool](https://github.com/Microsoft/Intune-Win32-App-Packaging-Tool). After downloading the tool, gather the following three bits of information to use the tool:
-
-1. The source folder for your application
-2. The name of the setup executable file
-3. The output folder for the new file
-
-For the purposes of this lab, we’ll use the Notepad++ tool as our Win32 app.
-
-Download the Notepad++ msi package [here](https://www.hass.de/content/notepad-msi-package-enterprise-deployment-available) and then opy the file to a known location, such as C:\Notepad++msi.
-
-Run the IntuneWinAppUtil tool, supplying answers to the three questions, for example:
-
-
-
-After the tool finishes running, you should have an .intunewin file in the Output folder, which you can now upload into Intune using the following steps.
-
-#### Create app in Intune
-
-Log into the Azure portal and select **Intune**.
-
-Navigate to **Intune > Clients apps > Apps**, and then click the **Add** button to create a new app package.
-
-
-
-Under **App Type**, select **Windows app (Win32)**:
-
-
-
-On the **App package file** blade, browse to the **npp.7.6.3.installer.x64.intunewin** file in your output folder, open it, then click **OK**:
-
-
-
-On the **App Information Configure** blade, provide a friendly name, description, and publisher, such as:
-
-
-
-On the **Program Configuration** blade, supply the install and uninstall commands:
-
-Install: msiexec /i "npp.7.6.3.installer.x64.msi" /q
-Uninstall: msiexec /x "{F188A506-C3C6-4411-BE3A-DA5BF1EA6737}" /q
-
-NOTE: Likely, you do not have to write the install and uninstall commands yourself because the [IntuneWinAppUtil.exe command-line tool](https://github.com/Microsoft/Intune-Win32-App-Packaging-Tool) automatically generated them when it converted the .msi file into a .intunewin file.
-
-
-
-Simply using an install command like “notepad++.exe /S” will not actually install Notepad++; it will only launch the app. To actually install the program, we need to use the .msi file instead. Notepad++ doesn’t actually have an .msi version of their program, but we got an .msi version from a [third party provider](https://www.hass.de/content/notepad-msi-package-enterprise-deployment-available).
-
-Click **OK** to save your input and activate the **Requirements** blade.
-
-On the **Requirements Configuration** blade, specify the **OS architecture** and the **Minimum OS version**:
-
-
-
-Next, configure the **Detection rules**. For our purposes, we will select manual format:
-
-
-
-Click **Add** to define the rule properties. For **Rule type**, select **MSI**, which will automatically import the right MSI product code into the rule:
-
-
-
-Click **OK** twice to save, as you back out to the main **Add app** blade again for the final configuration.
-
-**Return codes**: For our purposes, leave the return codes at their default values:
-
-
-
-Click **OK** to exit.
-
-You may skip configuring the final **Scope (Tags)** blade.
-
-Click the **Add** button to finalize and save your app package.
-
-Once the indicator message says the addition has completed.
-
-
-
-You will be able to find your app in your app list:
-
-
-
-#### Assign the app to your Intune profile
-
-**NOTE**: The following steps only work if you previously [created a GROUP in Intune and assigned a profile to it](#assign-the-profile). If you have not done that, please return to the main part of the lab and complete those steps before returning here.
-
-In the **Intune > Client Apps > Apps** pane, select the app package you already created to reveal its properties blade. Then click **Assignments** from the menu:
-
-
-
-Select **Add Group** to open the **Add group** pane that is related to the app.
-
-For our purposes, select *8Required** from the **Assignment type** dropdown menu:
-
->**Available for enrolled devices** means users install the app from the Company Portal app or Company Portal website.
-
-Select **Included Groups** and assign the groups you previously created that will use this app:
-
-
-
-
-
-In the **Select groups** pane, click the **Select** button.
-
-In the **Assign group** pane, select **OK**.
-
-In the **Add group** pane, select **OK**.
-
-In the app **Assignments** pane, select **Save**.
-
-
-
-At this point, you have completed steps to add a Win32 app to Intune.
-
-For more information on adding adds to Intune, see [Intune Standalone - Win32 app management](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/apps-win32-app-management).
-
-### Add Office 365
-
-#### Create app in Intune
-
-Log into the Azure portal and select **Intune**.
-
-Navigate to **Intune > Clients apps > Apps**, and then click the **Add** button to create a new app package.
-
-
-
-Under **App Type**, select **Office 365 Suite > Windows 10**:
-
-
-
-Under the **Configure App Suite** pane, select the Office apps you want to install. For the purposes of this labe we have only selected Excel:
-
-
-
-Click **OK**.
-
-In the **App Suite Information** pane, enter a unique suite name, and a suitable description.
-
->Enter the name of the app suite as it is displayed in the company portal. Make sure that all suite names that you use are unique. If the same app suite name exists twice, only one of the apps is displayed to users in the company portal.
-
-
-
-Click **OK**.
-
-In the **App Suite Settings** pane, select **Monthly** for the **Update channel** (any selection would be fine for the purposes of this lab). Also select **Yes** for **Automatically accept the app end user license agreement**:
-
-
-
-Click **OK** and then click **Add**.
-
-#### Assign the app to your Intune profile
-
-**NOTE**: The following steps only work if you previously [created a GROUP in Intune and assigned a profile to it](#assign-the-profile). If you have not done that, please return to the main part of the lab and complete those steps before returning here.
-
-In the **Intune > Client Apps > Apps** pane, select the Office package you already created to reveal its properties blade. Then click **Assignments** from the menu:
-
-
-
-Select **Add Group** to open the **Add group** pane that is related to the app.
-
-For our purposes, select **Required** from the **Assignment type** dropdown menu:
-
->**Available for enrolled devices** means users install the app from the Company Portal app or Company Portal website.
-
-Select **Included Groups** and assign the groups you previously created that will use this app:
-
-
-
-
-
-In the **Select groups** pane, click the **Select** button.
-
-In the **Assign group** pane, select **OK**.
-
-In the **Add group** pane, select **OK**.
-
-In the app **Assignments** pane, select **Save**.
-
-
-
-At this point, you have completed steps to add Office to Intune.
-
-For more information on adding Office apps to Intune, see [Assign Office 365 apps to Windows 10 devices with Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/apps-add-office365).
-
-If you installed both the win32 app (Notepad++) and Office (just Excel) per the instructions in this lab, your VM will show them in the apps list, although it could take several minutes to populate:

+# Demonstrate Autopilot deployment
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10
+
+To get started with Windows Autopilot, you should try it out with a virtual machine (VM) or you can use a physical device that will be wiped and then have a fresh install of Windows 10.
+
+In this topic you'll learn how to set-up a Windows Autopilot deployment for a VM using Hyper-V. Note: Although there are [multiple platforms](administer.md) available to enable Autopilot, this lab primarily uses Intune.
+
+>Hyper-V and a VM are not required for this lab. You can also use a physical device. However, the instructions assume that you are using a VM. To use a physical device, skip the instructions to install Hyper-V and create a VM. All references to 'device' in the guide refer to the client device, either physical or virtual.
+
+The following video provides an overview of the process:
+
+
+
+
+>For a list of terms used in this guide, see the [Glossary](#glossary) section.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+These are the things you'll need to complete this lab:
+
Windows 10 installation media
Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise (ISO file), version 1703 or later is required. If you do not already have an ISO to use, a link is provided to download an evaluation version of Windows 10 Enterprise.
+
Internet access
If you are behind a firewall, see the detailed networking requirements. Otherwise, just ensure that you have a connection to the Internet.
+
Hyper-V or a physical device running Windows 10
The guide assumes that you will use a Hyper-V VM, and provides instructions to install and configure Hyper-V if needed. To use a physical device, skip the steps to install and configure Hyper-V.
+
A Premium Intune account
This guide will describe how to obtain a free 30-day trial premium account that can be used to complete the lab.

+
+## Verify support for Hyper-V
+
+If you don't already have Hyper-V, we must first enable this on a computer running Windows 10 or Windows Server (2012 R2 or later).
+
+>If you already have Hyper-V enabled, skip to the [create a demo VM](#create-a-demo-vm) step. If you are using a physical device instead of a VM, skip to [Install Windows 10](#install-windows-10).
+
+If you are not sure that your device supports Hyper-V, or you have problems installing Hyper-V, see [appendix A](#appendix-a-verify-support-for-hyper-v) below for details on verifying that Hyper-V can be successfully installed.
+
+## Enable Hyper-V
+
+To enable Hyper-V, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt and run the following command:
+
+```powershell
+Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All
+```
+
+This command works on all operating systems that support Hyper-V, but on Windows Server operating systems you must type an additional command (below) to add the Hyper-V Windows PowerShell module and the Hyper-V Manager console. The following command will also install Hyper-V if it isn't already installed, so if you're using Windows Server, you can just type the following command instead of using the Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature command:
+
+```powershell
+Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -IncludeManagementTools
+```
+
+When you are prompted to restart the computer, choose **Yes**. The computer might restart more than once.
+
+>Alternatively, you can install Hyper-V using the Control Panel in Windows under **Turn Windows features on or off** for a client operating system, or using Server Manager's **Add Roles and Features Wizard** on a server operating system, as shown below:
+
+ 
+
+ 
+
+
If you choose to install Hyper-V using Server Manager, accept all default selections. Also be sure to install both items under Role Administration Tools\Hyper-V Management Tools.
+
+After installation is complete, open Hyper-V Manager by typing **virtmgmt.msc** at an elevated command prompt, or by typing **Hyper-V** in the Start menu search box.
+
+To read more about Hyper-V, see [Introduction to Hyper-V on Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/about/) and [Hyper-V on Windows Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/hyper-v-on-windows-server).
+
+## Create a demo VM
+
+Now that Hyper-V is enabled, we need to create a VM running Windows 10. We can [create a VM](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/create-virtual-machine) and [virtual network](https://docs.microsoft.com/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/connect-to-network) using Hyper-V Manager, but it is simpler to use Windows PowerShell.
+
+To use Windows Powershell we just need to know two things:
+
+1. The location of the Windows 10 ISO file.
+ - In the example, we assume the location is **c:\iso\win10-eval.iso**.
+2. The name of the network interface that connects to the Internet.
+ - In the example, we use a Windows PowerShell command to determine this automatically.
+
+After we have set the ISO file location and determined the name of the appropriate network interface, we can install Windows 10.
+
+### Set ISO file location
+
+You can download an ISO file for an evaluation version of the latest release of Windows 10 Enterprise [here](https://www.microsoft.com/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise).
+- When asked to select a platform, choose **64 bit**.
+
+After you download this file, the name will be extremely long (ex: 17763.107.101029-1455.rs5_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us.iso).
+
+1. So that it is easier to type and remember, rename the file to **win10-eval.iso**.
+2. Create a directory on your computer named **c:\iso** and move the **win10-eval.iso** file there, so the path to the file is **c:\iso\win10-eval.iso**.
+3. If you wish to use a different name and location for the file, you must modify the Windows PowerShell commands below to use your custom name and directory.
+
+### Determine network adapter name
+
+The Get-NetAdaper cmdlet is used below to automatically find the network adapter that is most likely to be the one you use to connect to the Internet. You should test this command first by running the following at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:
+
+```powershell
+(Get-NetAdapter |?{$_.Status -eq "Up" -and !$_.Virtual}).Name
+```
+
+The output of this command should be the name of the network interface you use to connect to the Internet. Verify that this is the correct interface name. If it is not the correct interface name, you'll need to edit the first command below to use your network interface name.
+
+For example, if the command above displays Ethernet but you wish to use Ethernet2, then the first command below would be New-VMSwitch -Name AutopilotExternal -AllowManagementOS $true -NetAdapterName **Ethernet2**.
+
+### Use Windows PowerShell to create the demo VM
+
+All VM data will be created under the current path in your PowerShell prompt. Consider navigating into a new folder before running the following commands.
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>**VM switch**: a VM switch is how Hyper-V connects VMs to a network.
If you have previously enabled Hyper-V and your Internet-connected network interface is already bound to a VM switch, then the PowerShell commands below will fail. In this case, you can either delete the existing VM switch (so that the commands below can create one), or you can reuse this VM switch by skipping the first command below and either modifying the second command to replace the switch name **AutopilotExternal** with the name of your switch, or by renaming your existing switch to "AutopilotExternal."
If you have never created an external VM switch before, then just run the commands below.
+
+```powershell
+New-VMSwitch -Name AutopilotExternal -AllowManagementOS $true -NetAdapterName (Get-NetAdapter |?{$_.Status -eq "Up" -and !$_.Virtual}).Name
+New-VM -Name WindowsAutopilot -MemoryStartupBytes 2GB -BootDevice VHD -NewVHDPath .\VMs\WindowsAutopilot.vhdx -Path .\VMData -NewVHDSizeBytes 80GB -Generation 2 -Switch AutopilotExternal
+Add-VMDvdDrive -Path c:\iso\win10-eval.iso -VMName WindowsAutopilot
+Start-VM -VMName WindowsAutopilot
+```
+
+After entering these commands, connect to the VM that you just created and wait for a prompt to press a key and boot from the DVD. You can connect to the VM by double-clicking it in Hyper-V Manager.
+
+See the sample output below. In this sample, the VM is created under the **c:\autopilot** directory and the vmconnect.exe command is used (which is only available on Windows Server). If you installed Hyper-V on Windows 10, use Hyper-V Manager to connect to your VM.
+
+
+
+### Install Windows 10
+
+Ensure the VM booted from the installation ISO, click **Next** then click **Install now** and complete the Windows installation process. See the following examples:
+
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ 
+
+>After the VM restarts, during OOBE, it’s fine to select **Set up for personal use** or **Domain join instead** and then choose an offline account on the **Sign in** screen. This will offer the fastest way to the desktop. For example:
+
+ 
+
+Once the installation is complete, sign in and verify that you are at the Windows 10 desktop, then create your first Hyper-V checkpoint. Checkpoints are used to restore the VM to a previous state. You will create multiple checkpoints throughout this lab, which can be used later to go through the process again.
+
+ 
+
+To create your first checkpoint, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the computer running Hyper-V (not on the VM) and run the following:
+
+```powershell
+Checkpoint-VM -Name WindowsAutopilot -SnapshotName "Finished Windows install"
+```
+
+Click on the **WindowsAutopilot** VM in Hyper-V Manager and verify that you see **Finished Windows Install** listed in the Checkpoints pane.
+
+## Capture the hardware ID
+
+>NOTE: Normally, the Device ID is captured by the OEM as they run the OA3 Tool on each device in the factory. The OEM then submits the 4K HH created by the OA3 Tool to Microsoft by submitting it with a Computer Build Report (CBR). For purposes of this lab, you are acting as the OEM (capturing the 4K HH), but you’re not going to use the OA3 Tool to capture the full 4K HH for various reasons (you’d have to install the OA3 tool, your device couldn’t have a volume license version of Windows, it’s a more complicated process than using a PS script, etc.). Instead, you’ll simulate running the OA3 tool by running a PowerShell script, which captures the device 4K HH just like the OA3 tool.
+
+Follow these steps to run the PS script:
+
+1. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt and run the following commands. These commands are the same regardless of whether you are using a VM or a physical device:
+
+ ```powershell
+ md c:\HWID
+ Set-Location c:\HWID
+ Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
+ Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -Force
+ $env:Path += ";C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Scripts"
+ Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo.ps1 -OutputFile AutopilotHWID.csv
+ ```
+
+When you are prompted to install the NuGet package, choose **Yes**.
+
+See the sample output below.
+
+
+PS C:\> md c:\HWID
+
+ Directory: C:\
+
+Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
+---- ------------- ------ ----
+d----- 3/14/2019 11:33 AM HWID
+
+PS C:\> Set-Location c:\HWID
+PS C:\HWID> Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
+PS C:\HWID> Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -Force

+Verify that there is an **AutopilotHWID.csv** file in the **c:\HWID** directory that is about 8 KB in size. This file contains the complete 4K HH.
+
+**Note**: Although the .csv extension might be associated with Microsoft Excel, you cannot view the file properly by double-clicking it. To correctly parse the comma delimiters and view the file in Excel, you must use the **Data** > **From Text/CSV** function in Excel to import the appropriate data columns. You don't need to view the file in Excel unless you are curious. The file format will be validated when it is imported into Autopilot. An example of the data in this file is shown below.
+
+
+
+You will need to upload this data into Intune to register your device for Autopilot, so it needs to be transferred to the computer you will use to access the Azure portal. If you are using a physical device instead of a VM, you can copy the file to a USB stick. If you’re using a VM, you can right-click the AutopilotHWID.csv file and copy it, then right-click and paste the file to your desktop (outside the VM).
+
+If you have trouble copying and pasting the file, just view the contents in Notepad on the VM and copy the text into Notepad outside the VM. Do not use another text editor to do this.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>When copying and pasting to or from VMs, avoid clicking other things with your mouse cursor between the copy and paste process as this can empty or overwrite the clipboard and require that you start over. Go directly from copy to paste.
+
+## Reset the VM back to Out-Of-Box-Experience (OOBE)
+
+With the hardware ID captured in a file, prepare your Virtual Machine for Windows Autopilot deployment by resetting it back to OOBE.
+
+On the Virtual Machine, go to **Settings > Update & Security > Recovery** and click on **Get started** under **Reset this PC**.
+Select **Remove everything** and **Just remove my files**. Finally, click on **Reset**.
+
+
+
+Resetting the VM or device can take a while. Proceed to the next step (verify subscription level) during the reset process.
+
+
+
+## Verify subscription level
+
+For this lab, you need an AAD Premium subscription. You can tell if you have a Premium subscription by navigating to the [MDM enrollment configuration](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/Mobility) blade. See the following example:
+
+**Azure Active Directory** > **Mobility (MDM and MAM)** > **Microsoft Intune**
+
+
+
+If the configuration blade shown above does not appear, it’s likely that you don’t have a **Premium** subscription. Auto-enrollment is a feature only available in AAD Premium.
+
+To convert your Intune trial account to a free Premium trial account, navigate to **Azure Active Directory** > **Licenses** > **All products** > **Try / Buy** and select **Free trial** for Azure AD Premium, or EMS E5.
+
+
+
+## Configure company branding
+
+If you already have company branding configured in Azure Active Directory, you can skip this step.
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>Make sure to sign-in with a Global Administrator account.
+
+Navigate to [Company branding in Azure Active Directory](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/LoginTenantBranding), click on **Configure** and configure any type of company branding you'd like to see during the OOBE.
+
+
+
+When you are finished, click **Save**.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>Changes to company branding can take up to 30 minutes to apply.
+
+## Configure Microsoft Intune auto-enrollment
+
+If you already have MDM auto-enrollment configured in Azure Active Directory, you can skip this step.
+
+Open [Mobility (MDM and MAM) in Azure Active Directory](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/Mobility) and select **Microsoft Intune**. If you do not see Microsoft Intune, click **Add application** and choose **Intune**.
+
+For the purposes of this demo, select **All** under the **MDM user scope** and click **Save**.
+
+
+
+## Register your VM
+
+Your VM (or device) can be registered either via Intune or Microsoft Store for Business (MSfB). Both processes are shown here, but only pick one for purposes of this lab. We highly recommend using Intune rather than MSfB.
+
+### Autopilot registration using Intune
+
+1. In Intune in the Azure portal, choose **Device enrollment** > **Windows enrollment** > **Devices** > **Import**.
+
+ 
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >If menu items like **Windows enrollment** are not active for you, then look to the far-right blade in the UI. You might need to provide Intune configuration privileges in a challenge window that appeared.
+
+2. Under **Add Windows Autopilot devices** in the far right pane, browse to the **AutopilotHWID.csv** file you previously copied to your local computer. The file should contain the serial number and 4K HH of your VM (or device). It’s okay if other fields (Windows Product ID) are left blank.
+
+ 
+
+ You should receive confirmation that the file is formatted correctly before uploading it, as shown above.
+
+3. Click **Import** and wait until the import process completes. This can take up to 15 minutes.
+
+4. Click **Sync** to sync the device you just registered. Wait a few moments before refreshing to verify your VM or device has been added. See the following example.
+
+ 
+
+### Autopilot registration using MSfB
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>If you've already registered your VM (or device) using Intune, then skip this step.
+
+Optional: see the following video for an overview of the process.
+
+
+
+> [!video https://www.youtube.com/embed/IpLIZU_j7Z0]
+
+First, you need a MSfB account. You can use the same one you created above for Intune, or follow [these instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-store/windows-store-for-business-overview) to create a new one.
+
+Next, sign in to [Microsoft Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/store) using your test account by clicking **Sign in** in the upper-right-corner of the main page.
+
+Select **Manage** from the top menu, then click the **Windows Autopilot Deployment Program** link under the **Devices** card. See the following example:
+
+
+
+Click the **Add devices** link to upload your CSV file. A message will appear indicating your request is being processed. Wait a few moments before refreshing to see your new device has been added.
+
+
+
+## Create and assign a Windows Autopilot deployment profile
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>Autopilot profiles can be created and assigned to your registered VM or device either through Intune or MSfB. Both processes are shown here, but only pick one for purposes of this lab:
+
+Pick one:
+- [Create profiles using Intune](#create-a-windows-autopilot-deployment-profile-using-intune)
+- [Create profiles using MSfB](#create-a-windows-autopilot-deployment-profile-using-msfb)
+
+### Create a Windows Autopilot deployment profile using Intune
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>Even if you registered your device in MSfB, it will still appear in Intune, though you might have to **sync** and then **refresh** your device list first:
+
+
+
+>The example above lists both a physical device and a VM. Your list should only include only one of these.
+
+To create a Windows Autopilot profile, select **Device enrollment** > **Windows enrollment** > **Deployment profiles**
+
+
+
+Click on **Create profile**.
+
+
+
+On the **Create profile** blade, use the following values:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Name | Autopilot Lab profile |
+| Description | blank |
+| Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot | No |
+| Deployment mode | User-driven |
+| Join to Azure AD as | Azure AD joined |
+
+Click on **Out-of-box experience (OOBE)** and configure the following settings:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---|---|
+| EULA | Hide |
+| Privacy Settings | Hide |
+| Hide change account options | Hide |
+| User account type | Standard |
+| Apply device name template | No |
+
+See the following example:
+
+
+
+Click on **OK** and then click on **Create**.
+
+>If you want to add an app to your profile via Intune, the OPTIONAL steps for doing so can be found in [Appendix B: Adding apps to your profile](#appendix-b-adding-apps-to-your-profile).
+
+#### Assign the profile
+
+Profiles can only be assigned to Groups, so first you must create a group that contains the devices to which the profile should be applied. This guide will provide simple instructions to assign a profile, for more detailed instructions, see [Create an Autopilot device group](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#create-an-autopilot-device-group) and [Assign an Autopilot deployment profile to a device group](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#assign-an-autopilot-deployment-profile-to-a-device-group), as optional reading.
+
+To create a Group, open the Azure Portal and select **Azure Active Directory** > **Groups** > **All groups**:
+
+
+
+Select New group from the Groups blade to open the new groups UI. Select the “Security” group type, name the group, and select the “Assigned” membership type:
+
+Before clicking **Create**, expand the **Members** panel, click your device's serial number (it will then appear under **Selected members**) and then click **Select** to add that device to this group.
+
+
+
+Now click **Create** to finish creating the new group.
+
+Click on **All groups** and click **Refresh** to verify that your new group has been successfully created.
+
+With a group created containing your device, you can now go back and assign your profile to that group. Navigate back to the Intune page in the Azure portal (one way is to type **Intune** in the top banner search bar and select **Intune** from the results).
+
+From Intune, select **Device enrollment** > **Windows enrollment** > **Deployment Profiles** to open the profile blade. Click on the name of the profile you previously created (Autopilot Lab profile) to open the details blade for that profile:
+
+
+
+Under **Manage**, click **Assignments**, and then with the **Include** tab highlighted, expand the **Select groups** blade and click **AP Lab Group 1** (the group will appear under **Selected members**).
+
+
+
+Click **Select** and then click **Save**.
+
+
+
+It’s also possible to assign specific users to a profile, but we will not cover this scenario in the lab. For more detailed information, see [Enroll Windows devices in Intune by using Windows Autopilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot).
+
+### Create a Windows Autopilot deployment profile using MSfB
+
+If you have already created and assigned a profile via Intune by using the steps immediately above, then skip this section.
+
+A [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpLIZU_j7Z0) is available that covers the steps required to create and assign profiles in MSfB. These steps are also summarized below.
+
+First, sign in to the [Microsoft Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/manage/dashboard) using the Intune account you initially created for this lab.
+
+Click **Manage** from the top menu, then click **Devices** from the left navigation tree.
+
+
+
+Click the **Windows Autopilot Deployment Program** link in the **Devices** tile.
+
+To CREATE the profile:
+
+Select your device from the **Devices** list:
+
+
+
+On the Autopilot deployment dropdown menu, select **Create new profile**:
+
+
+
+Name the profile, choose your desired settings, and then click **Create**:
+
+
+
+The new profile is added to the Autopilot deployment list.
+
+To ASSIGN the profile:
+
+To assign (or reassign) the profile to a device, select the checkboxes next to the device you registered for this lab, then select the profile you want to assign from the **Autopilot deployment** dropdown menu as shown:
+
+
+
+Confirm the profile was successfully assigned to the intended device by checking the contents of the **Profile** column:
+
+
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>The new profile will only be applied if the device has not been started, and gone through OOBE. Settings from a different profile can't be applied when another profile has been applied. Windows would need to be reinstalled on the device for the second profile to be applied to the device.
+
+## See Windows Autopilot in action
+
+If you shut down your VM after the last reset, it’s time to start it back up again, so it can progress through the Autopilot OOBE experience but do not attempt to start your device again until the **PROFILE STATUS** for your device in Intune has changed from **Not assigned** to **Assigning** and finally **Assigned**:
+
+
+
+Also, make sure to wait at least 30 minutes from the time you've [configured company branding](#configure-company-branding), otherwise these changes might not show up.
+
+>[!TIP]
+>If you reset your device previously after collecting the 4K HH info, and then let it restart back to the first OOBE screen, then you might need to restart the device again to ensure the device is recognized as an Autopilot device and displays the Autopilot OOBE experience you’re expecting. If you do not see the Autopilot OOBE experience, then reset the device again (Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and click on Get started. Under Reset this PC, select Remove everything and Just remove my files. Click on Reset).
+
+- Ensure your device has an internet connection.
+- Turn on the device
+- Verify that the appropriate OOBE screens (with appropriate Company Branding) appear. You should see the region selection screen, the keyboard selection screen, and the second keyboard selection screen (which you can skip).
+
+
+
+Soon after reaching the desktop, the device should show up in Intune as an **enabled** Autopilot device. Go into the Intune Azure portal, and select **Devices > All devices**, then **Refresh** the data to verify that your device has changed from disabled to enabled, and the name of the device is updated.
+
+
+
+Once you select a language and a keyboard layout, your company branded sign-in screen should appear. Provide your Azure Active Directory credentials and you're all done.
+
+Windows Autopilot will now take over to automatically join your device into Azure Active Directory and enroll it to Microsoft Intune. Use the checkpoints you've created to go through this process again with different settings.
+
+## Remove devices from Autopilot
+
+To use the device (or VM) for other purposes after completion of this lab, you will need to remove (deregister) it from Autopilot via either Intune or MSfB, and then reset it. Instructions for deregistering devices can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#create-an-autopilot-device-group) and [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/devices-wipe#delete-devices-from-the-azure-active-directory-portal) and below.
+
+### Delete (deregister) Autopilot device
+
+You need to delete (or retire, or factory reset) the device from Intune before deregistering the device from Autopilot. To delete the device from Intune (not Azure Active Directory), log into your Intune Azure portal, then navigate to **Intune > Devices > All Devices**. Select the checkbox next to the device you want to delete, then click the Delete button along the top menu.
+
+
+
+Click **X** when challenged to complete the operation:
+
+
+
+This will remove the device from Intune management, and it will disappear from **Intune > Devices > All devices**. But this does not yet deregister the device from Autopilot, so the device should still appear under **Intune > Device Enrollment > Windows Enrollment > Windows Autopilot Deployment Program > Devices**.
+
+
+
+The **Intune > Devices > All Devices** list and the **Intune > Device Enrollment > Windows Enrollment > Windows Autopilot Deployment Program > Devices** list mean different things and are two completely separate datastores. The former (All devices) is the list of devices currently enrolled into Intune. Note: A device will only appear in the All devices list once it has booted. The latter (Windows Autopilot Deployment Program > Devices) is the list of devices currently registered from that Intune account into the Autopilot program - which may or may not be enrolled to Intune.
+
+To remove the device from the Autopilot program, select the device and click Delete.
+
+
+
+A warning message appears reminding you to first remove the device from Intune, which we previously did.
+
+
+
+At this point, your device has been unenrolled from Intune and also deregistered from Autopilot. After several minutes, click the **Sync** button, followed by the **Refresh** button to confirm the device is no longer listed in the Autopilot program:
+
+
+
+Once the device no longer appears, you are free to reuse it for other purposes.
+
+If you also (optionally) want to remove your device from AAD, navigate to **Azure Active Directory > Devices > All Devices**, select your device, and click the delete button:
+
+
+
+## Appendix A: Verify support for Hyper-V
+
+Starting with Windows 8, the host computer’s microprocessor must support second level address translation (SLAT) to install Hyper-V. See [Hyper-V: List of SLAT-Capable CPUs for Hosts](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1401.hyper-v-list-of-slat-capable-cpus-for-hosts.aspx) for more information.
+
+To verify your computer supports SLAT, open an administrator command prompt, type **systeminfo**, press ENTER, scroll down, and review the section displayed at the bottom of the output, next to Hyper-V Requirements. See the following example:
+
+
+C:>systeminfo
+
+...
+Hyper-V Requirements: VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes
+ Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes
+ Second Level Address Translation: Yes
+ Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes
+
+
+In this example, the computer supports SLAT and Hyper-V.
+
+>If one or more requirements are evaluated as **No** then the computer does not support installing Hyper-V. However, if only the virtualization setting is incompatible, you might be able to enable virtualization in the BIOS and change the **Virtualization Enabled In Firmware** setting from **No** to **Yes**. The location of this setting will depend on the manufacturer and BIOS version, but is typically found associated with the BIOS security settings.
+
+You can also identify Hyper-V support using [tools](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/taylorb/2008/06/19/hyper-v-will-my-computer-run-hyper-v-detecting-intel-vt-and-amd-v/) provided by the processor manufacturer, the [msinfo32](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731397.aspx) tool, or you can download the [coreinfo](https://technet.microsoft.com/sysinternals/cc835722) utility and run it, as shown in the following example:

+## Appendix B: Adding apps to your profile
+
+### Add a Win32 app
+
+#### Prepare the app for Intune
+
+Before we can pull an application into Intune to make it part of our AP profile, we need to “package” the application for delivery using the [IntuneWinAppUtil.exe command-line tool](https://github.com/Microsoft/Intune-Win32-App-Packaging-Tool). After downloading the tool, gather the following three bits of information to use the tool:
+
+1. The source folder for your application
+2. The name of the setup executable file
+3. The output folder for the new file
+
+For the purposes of this lab, we’ll use the Notepad++ tool as our Win32 app.
+
+Download the Notepad++ msi package [here](https://www.hass.de/content/notepad-msi-package-enterprise-deployment-available) and then opy the file to a known location, such as C:\Notepad++msi.
+
+Run the IntuneWinAppUtil tool, supplying answers to the three questions, for example:
+
+
+
+After the tool finishes running, you should have an .intunewin file in the Output folder, which you can now upload into Intune using the following steps.
+
+#### Create app in Intune
+
+Log into the Azure portal and select **Intune**.
+
+Navigate to **Intune > Clients apps > Apps**, and then click the **Add** button to create a new app package.
+
+
+
+Under **App Type**, select **Windows app (Win32)**:
+
+
+
+On the **App package file** blade, browse to the **npp.7.6.3.installer.x64.intunewin** file in your output folder, open it, then click **OK**:
+
+
+
+On the **App Information Configure** blade, provide a friendly name, description, and publisher, such as:
+
+
+
+On the **Program Configuration** blade, supply the install and uninstall commands:
+
+Install: msiexec /i "npp.7.6.3.installer.x64.msi" /q
+Uninstall: msiexec /x "{F188A506-C3C6-4411-BE3A-DA5BF1EA6737}" /q
+
+NOTE: Likely, you do not have to write the install and uninstall commands yourself because the [IntuneWinAppUtil.exe command-line tool](https://github.com/Microsoft/Intune-Win32-App-Packaging-Tool) automatically generated them when it converted the .msi file into a .intunewin file.
+
+
+
+Simply using an install command like “notepad++.exe /S” will not actually install Notepad++; it will only launch the app. To actually install the program, we need to use the .msi file instead. Notepad++ doesn’t actually have an .msi version of their program, but we got an .msi version from a [third party provider](https://www.hass.de/content/notepad-msi-package-enterprise-deployment-available).
+
+Click **OK** to save your input and activate the **Requirements** blade.
+
+On the **Requirements Configuration** blade, specify the **OS architecture** and the **Minimum OS version**:
+
+
+
+Next, configure the **Detection rules**. For our purposes, we will select manual format:
+
+
+
+Click **Add** to define the rule properties. For **Rule type**, select **MSI**, which will automatically import the right MSI product code into the rule:
+
+
+
+Click **OK** twice to save, as you back out to the main **Add app** blade again for the final configuration.
+
+**Return codes**: For our purposes, leave the return codes at their default values:
+
+
+
+Click **OK** to exit.
+
+You may skip configuring the final **Scope (Tags)** blade.
+
+Click the **Add** button to finalize and save your app package.
+
+Once the indicator message says the addition has completed.
+
+
+
+You will be able to find your app in your app list:
+
+
+
+#### Assign the app to your Intune profile
+
+**NOTE**: The following steps only work if you previously [created a GROUP in Intune and assigned a profile to it](#assign-the-profile). If you have not done that, please return to the main part of the lab and complete those steps before returning here.
+
+In the **Intune > Client Apps > Apps** pane, select the app package you already created to reveal its properties blade. Then click **Assignments** from the menu:
+
+
+
+Select **Add Group** to open the **Add group** pane that is related to the app.
+
+For our purposes, select *8Required** from the **Assignment type** dropdown menu:
+
+>**Available for enrolled devices** means users install the app from the Company Portal app or Company Portal website.
+
+Select **Included Groups** and assign the groups you previously created that will use this app:
+
+
+
+
+
+In the **Select groups** pane, click the **Select** button.
+
+In the **Assign group** pane, select **OK**.
+
+In the **Add group** pane, select **OK**.
+
+In the app **Assignments** pane, select **Save**.
+
+
+
+At this point, you have completed steps to add a Win32 app to Intune.
+
+For more information on adding adds to Intune, see [Intune Standalone - Win32 app management](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/apps-win32-app-management).
+
+### Add Office 365
+
+#### Create app in Intune
+
+Log into the Azure portal and select **Intune**.
+
+Navigate to **Intune > Clients apps > Apps**, and then click the **Add** button to create a new app package.
+
+
+
+Under **App Type**, select **Office 365 Suite > Windows 10**:
+
+
+
+Under the **Configure App Suite** pane, select the Office apps you want to install. For the purposes of this labe we have only selected Excel:
+
+
+
+Click **OK**.
+
+In the **App Suite Information** pane, enter a unique suite name, and a suitable description.
+
+>Enter the name of the app suite as it is displayed in the company portal. Make sure that all suite names that you use are unique. If the same app suite name exists twice, only one of the apps is displayed to users in the company portal.
+
+
+
+Click **OK**.
+
+In the **App Suite Settings** pane, select **Monthly** for the **Update channel** (any selection would be fine for the purposes of this lab). Also select **Yes** for **Automatically accept the app end user license agreement**:
+
+
+
+Click **OK** and then click **Add**.
+
+#### Assign the app to your Intune profile
+
+**NOTE**: The following steps only work if you previously [created a GROUP in Intune and assigned a profile to it](#assign-the-profile). If you have not done that, please return to the main part of the lab and complete those steps before returning here.
+
+In the **Intune > Client Apps > Apps** pane, select the Office package you already created to reveal its properties blade. Then click **Assignments** from the menu:
+
+
+
+Select **Add Group** to open the **Add group** pane that is related to the app.
+
+For our purposes, select **Required** from the **Assignment type** dropdown menu:
+
+>**Available for enrolled devices** means users install the app from the Company Portal app or Company Portal website.
+
+Select **Included Groups** and assign the groups you previously created that will use this app:
+
+
+
+
+
+In the **Select groups** pane, click the **Select** button.
+
+In the **Assign group** pane, select **OK**.
+
+In the **Add group** pane, select **OK**.
+
+In the app **Assignments** pane, select **Save**.
+
+
+
+At this point, you have completed steps to add Office to Intune.
+
+For more information on adding Office apps to Intune, see [Assign Office 365 apps to Windows 10 devices with Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/apps-add-office365).
+
+If you installed both the win32 app (Notepad++) and Office (just Excel) per the instructions in this lab, your VM will show them in the apps list, although it could take several minutes to populate:

-# Windows Autopilot requirements
-
-**Applies to: Windows 10**
-
-Windows Autopilot depends on specific capabilities available in Windows 10, Azure Active Directory, and MDM services such as Microsoft Intune. In order to use Windows Autopilot and leverage these capabilities, some requirements must be met.
-
-**Note**: For a list of OEMs that currently support Windows Autopilot, see the Participant device manufacturers section at [Windows Autopilot](https://aka.ms/windowsautopilot).
-
-## Software requirements
-
-- Windows 10 version 1703 (semi-annual channel) or higher is required.
-- The following editions are supported:
- - Windows 10 Pro
- - Windows 10 Pro Education
- - Windows 10 Pro for Workstations
- - Windows 10 Enterprise
- - Windows 10 Education
- - Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
-
-## Networking requirements
-
-Windows Autopilot depends on a variety of internet-based services. Access to these services must be provided for Autopilot to function properly. In the simplest case, enabling proper functionality can be achieved by ensuring the following:
-
-- Ensure DNS name resolution for internet DNS names
-- Allow access to all hosts via port 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), and 123 (UDP/NTP)
-
-In environments that have more restrictive Internet access, or for those that require authentication before internet access can be obtained, additional configuration may be required to whitelist access to the required services. For additional details about each of these services and their specific requirements, review the following details:
-
-
Service
Information
-
Windows Autopilot Deployment Service and Windows Activation
After a network connection is in place, each Windows 10 device will contact the Windows Autopilot Deployment Service. With Windows 10 builds 18204 and above, the following URLs are used: https://ztd.dds.microsoft.com, https://cs.dds.microsoft.com.
-
-For all supported Windows 10 releases, Windows Autopilot also uses Windows Activation services. See Windows activation or validation fails with error code 0x8004FE33 for details about problems that might occur when you connect to the Internet through a proxy server.
-
Azure Active Directory
User credentials are validated by Azure Active Directory, and the device can also be joined to Azure Active Directory. See Office 365 IP Address and URL Web service for more information.
-
Intune
Once authenticated, Azure Active Directory will trigger enrollment of the device into the Intune MDM service. See the following link for details about network communication requirements: Intune network configuration requirements and bandwidth.
-
Windows Update
During the OOBE process, as well as after the Windows 10 OS is fully configured, the Windows Update service is leveraged to retrieve needed updates. If there are problems connecting to Windows Update, see How to solve connection problems concerning Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
-
-If Windows Update is inaccessible, the AutoPilot process will still continue but critical updates will not be available.
-
-
Delivery Optimization
When downloading Windows Updates, Microsoft Store apps and app updates, Office Updates and Intune Win32 Apps, the Delivery Optimization service is contacted to enable peer-to-peer sharing of content so that only a few devices need to download it from the internet.
-
-If the Delivery Optimization Service is inaccessible, the AutoPilot process will still continue with Delivery Optimization downloads from the cloud (without peer-to-peer).
-
-
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Sync
When a Windows device starts up, it will talk to a network time server to ensure that the time on the device is accurate. Ensure that UDP port 123 to time.windows.com is accessible.
-
Domain Name Services (DNS)
To resolve DNS names for all services, the device communicates with a DNS server, typically provided via DHCP. This DNS server must be able to resolve internet names.
-
Diagnostics data
Starting in Windows 10, 1903, diagnostic data collection will be enabled by default. To disable Windows Analytics and related diagnostics capabilities, see Manage enterprise diagnostic data level.
-
-If diagnostic data cannot be sent, the Autopilot process will still continue, but services that depend on diagnostic data, such as Windows Analytics, will not work.
-
This service is used to enable Windows to receive notifications from apps and services. See Microsoft Store for more information.
-
-If the WNS services are not available, the Autopilot process will still continue without notifications.
-
Microsoft Store, Microsoft Store for Business
Apps in the Microsoft Store can be pushed to the device, triggered via Intune (MDM). App updates and additional apps may also be needed when the user first logs in. For more information, see Prerequisites for Microsoft Store for Business and Education (also includes Azure AD and Windows Notification Services).
-
-If the Microsoft Store is not accessible, the AutoPilot process will still continue without Microsoft Store apps.
-
-
Office 365
As part of the Intune device configuration, installation of Office 365 ProPlus may be required. For more information, see Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges (includes all Office services, DNS names, IP addresses; includes Azure AD and other services that may overlap with those listed above).
-
Hybrid AAD can be join, the machine should be on corporate network for hybrid AAD join to work. See details at Windows Autopilot user-driven mode
-
-
-## Licensing requirements
-
-Windows Autopilot depends on specific capabilities available in Windows 10 and Azure Active Directory. It also requires an MDM service such as Microsoft Intune. These capabilities can be obtained through various editions and subscription programs:
-
-To provide needed Azure Active Directory (automatic MDM enrollment and company branding features) and MDM functionality, one of the following is required:
- - [Microsoft 365 Business subscriptions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business)
- - [Microsoft 365 F1 subscriptions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/firstline)
- - [Microsoft 365 Academic A1, A3, or A5 subscriptions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/buy-license/microsoft365/default.aspx)
- - [Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3 or E5 subscriptions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise), which include all Windows 10, Office 365, and EM+S features (Azure AD and Intune).
- - [Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 or E5 subscriptions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/enterprise-mobility-security), which include all needed Azure AD and Intune features.
- - [Intune for Education subscriptions](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune-education/what-is-intune-for-education), which include all needed Azure AD and Intune features.
- - [Azure Active Directory Premium P1 or P2](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/active-directory/) and [Microsoft Intune subscriptions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/microsoft-intune) (or an alternative MDM service).
-
-Additionally, the following are also recommended (but not required):
-- [Office 365 ProPlus](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/office-365-proplus/CFQ7TTC0K8R0), which can be deployed easily via Intune (or other MDM services).
-- [Windows Subscription Activation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-10-enterprise-subscription-activation), to automatically step up devices from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise.
-
-## Configuration requirements
-
-Before Windows Autopilot can be used, some configuration tasks are required to support the common Autopilot scenarios.
-
-- Configure Azure Active Directory automatic enrollment. For Microsoft Intune, see [Enable Windows 10 automatic enrollment](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/windows-enroll#enable-windows-10-automatic-enrollment) for details. If using a different MDM service, contact the vendor for the specific URLs or configuration needed for those services.
-- Configure Azure Active Directory custom branding. In order to display an organization-specific logon page during the Autopilot process, Azure Active Directory needs to be configured with the images and text that should be displayed. See [Quickstart: Add company branding to your sign-in page in Azure AD](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/customize-branding) for more details. Note that the "square logo" and "sign-in page text" are the key elements for Autopilot, as well as the Azure Active Directory tenant name (configured separately in the Azure AD tenant properties).
-- Enable [Windows Subscription Activation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-10-enterprise-subscription-activation) if desired, in order to automatically step up from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise.
-
-Specific scenarios will then have additional requirements. Generally, there are two specific tasks:
-
-- Device registration. Devices need to be added to Windows Autopilot to support most Windows Autopilot scenarios. See [Adding devices to Windows Autopilot](add-devices.md) for more details.
-- Profile configuration. Once devices have been added to Windows Autopilot, a profile of settings needs to be applied to each device. See [Configure Autopilot profiles](profiles.md) for details. Note that Microsoft Intune can automate this profile assignment; see [Create an AutoPilot device group](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#create-an-autopilot-device-group) and [Assign an AutoPilot deployment profile to a device group](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/enrollment-autopilot#assign-an-autopilot-deployment-profile-to-a-device-group) for more information.
-
-See [Windows Autopilot Scenarios](windows-autopilot-scenarios.md) for additional details.
-
-For a walkthrough for some of these and related steps, see this video:
-
-
-
-There are no additional hardware requirements to use Windows 10 Autopilot, beyond the [requirements to run Windows 10](https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-10-specifications).

Global DNS outage affects Windows Update customers
Windows Update customers were affected by a network infrastructure event on January 29, 2019 (21:00 UTC), caused by an external DNS service provider's global outage. A software update to the external provider's DNS servers resulted in the distribution of corrupted DNS records that affected connectivity to the Windows Update service. The DNS records were restored by January 30, 2019 (00:10 UTC), and the majority of local Internet Service Providers (ISP) have refreshed their DNS servers and customer services have been restored.
Affected platforms:
Client: Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019

While this was not an issue with Microsoft's services, we take any service disruption for our customers seriously. We will work with partners to better understand this so we can provide higher quality service in the future even across diverse global network providers.
If you are still unable to connect to Windows Update services due to this problem, please contact your local ISP or network administrator. You can also refer to our new KB4493784 for more information to determine if your network is affected, and to provide your local ISP or network administrator with additional information to assist you.

On August 16, 2019 at 7:16 AM a server required for downloading the Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) startup page, went down. As a result of the server outage, IE 11 became unresponsive for some customers who had not yet installed the August 2019 security updates. Customers who had the August 2019 security update installed were not affected. In order to ensure your devices remain in a serviced and secure state, we recommend you install the latest monthly update.
This issue was resolved on the server side at 1:00 pm PST.
The August 2019 security update release, referred to as our “B” release, is now available for Windows 10, version 1903 and all supported versions of Windows. A “B” release is the primary, regular update event for each month and is the only regular release that contains security fixes. As a result, we recommend that you install these updates promptly. For more information on the different types of monthly quality updates, see our Windows 10 update servicing cadence primer. To be informed about the latest updates and releases, follow us on Twitter @WindowsUpdate.
On August 13, 2019, Microsoft released security updates to address a Bluetooth key length encryption vulnerability. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need specialized hardware and would be limited by the signal range of the Bluetooth devices in use. For more information about this industry-wide issue, see CVE-2019-9506 | Bluetooth Encryption Key Size Vulnerability in the Microsoft Security Update Guide and important guidance for IT pros in KB4514157. (Note: we are documenting this vulnerability together with guidance for IT admins as part of a coordinated industry disclosure effort.)
On August 13, 2019, Google Project Zero (GPZ) disclosed an Elevation of Privilege (EoP) vulnerability in how Windows handles calls to Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) that affects Windows operating systems, versions 8.1 and higher. An attacker must already have code execution on the target system to leverage these vulnerabilities. Microsoft released security updates on August 13, 2019 that partially address this issue. Other items disclosed by GPZ require more time to address and we are working to release a resolution in mid-September. For more information, see CVE-2019-1162 | Windows ALPC Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
As of August 13, 2019, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 updates signatures only support SHA-2 code signing. As outlined in 2019 SHA-2 Code Signing Support requirement for Windows and WSUS, we are requiring that SHA-2 code signing support be installed. If you have Windows Update enabled and have applied the security updates released in March 2019 (KB4490628) and August 2019 (KB4474419), you are protected automatically; no further configuration is necessary. If you have not installed the March 2019 updates, you will need to do so in order to continue to receive updates on devices running Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
Windows 10, version 1803 (the April 2018 Update) will reach end of service on November 12, 2019 for Home and Pro editions. We will begin updating devices running Windows 10, version 1803 to Windows 10, version 1903 (the May 2019 Update) starting July 16, 2019 to help ensure that these devices remain in a serviced and secure state. For more information, see the Windows 10, version 1903 section of the Windows release health dashboard.

-# Configure or Deploy Multifactor Authentication Services
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10, version 1703 or later
-- On-premises deployment
-- Certificate trust
-
-
-On-premises deployments must use an on-premises MFA Server that provides an AD FS Multifactor authentication adapter. It can be an Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server or a third-party MFA solution.
-
->[!TIP]
->Please make sure you've read [Validate and Deploy Multifactor Authentication Services (MFA)](hello-cert-trust-validate-deploy-mfa.md) before proceeding any further.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-The Azure MFA Server and User Portal servers have several prerequisites and must have connectivity to the Internet.
-
-### Primary MFA Server
-
-The Azure MFA server uses a primary and secondary replication model for its configuration database. The primary Azure MFA server hosts the writable partition of the configuration database. All secondary Azure MFA servers hosts read-only partitions of the configuration database. All production environment should deploy a minimum of two MFA Servers.
-
-For this documentation, the primary MFA uses the name **mf*a*** or **mfa.corp.contoso.com**. All secondary servers use the name **mfa*n*** or **mfa*n*.corp.contoso.com**, where *n* is the number of the deployed MFA server.
-
-The primary MFA server is also responsible for synchronizing from Active Directory. Therefore, the primary MFA server should be domain joined and fully patched.
-
-#### Enroll for Server Authentication
-
-The communication between the primary MFA server, secondary MFA servers, User Portal servers, and the client is protected using TLS, which needs a server authentication certificate.
-
-Sign-in the primary MFA server with _domain admin_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Start the Local Computer **Certificate Manager** (certlm.msc).
-2. Expand the **Personal** node in the navigation pane.
-3. Right-click **Personal**. Select **All Tasks** and **Request New Certificate**.
-4. Click **Next** on the **Before You Begin** page.
-5. Click **Next** on the **Select Certificate Enrollment Policy** page.
-6. On the **Request Certificates** page, Select the **Internal Web Server** check box.
-7. Click the **More information is required to enroll for this certificate. Click here to configure settings** link.
-8. Under **Subject name**, select **Common Name** from the **Type** list. Type the FQDN of the primary MFA server and then click **Add** (mfa.corp.contoso.com). Click **Add**. Click **OK** when finished.
-9. Click **Enroll**.
-
-A server authentication certificate should appear in the computer’s Personal certificate store.
-
-#### Install the Web Server Role
-
-The Azure MFA server does not require the Web Server role, however, User Portal and the optional Mobile Application server communicate with the MFA server database using the MFA Web Services SDK. The MFA Web Services SDK uses the Web Server role.
-
-To install the Web Server (IIS) role, please follow [Installing IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2](https://docs.microsoft.com/iis/install/installing-iis-7/installing-iis-7-and-above-on-windows-server-2008-or-windows-server-2008-r2) or [Installing IIS 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2](https://docs.microsoft.com/iis/install/installing-iis-85/installing-iis-85-on-windows-server-2012-r2) depending on the host Operating System you're going to use.
-
-The following services are required:
-* Common Parameters > Default Document.
-* Common Parameters > Directory Browsing.
-* Common Parameters > HTTP Errors.
-* Common Parameters > Static Content.
-* Health and Diagnostics > HTTP Logging.
-* Performance > Static Content Compression.
-* Security > Request Filtering.
-* Security > Basic Authentication.
-* Management Tools > IIS Management Console.
-* Management Tools > IIS 6 Management Compatibility.
-* Application Development > ASP.NET 4.5.
-
-#### Update the Server
-
-Update the server using Windows Update until the server has no required or optional updates as the Azure MFA Server software may require one or more of these updates for the installation and software to correctly work. These procedures install additional components that may need to be updated.
-
-#### Configure the IIS Server Certificate
-
-The TLS protocol protects all the communication to and from the MFA server. To enable this protection, you must configure the default web site to use the previously enrolled server authentication certificate.
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. From **Administrators**, Start the **Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager** console
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the same name as the local computer. Expand **Settings** and select **Default Web Site**.
-3. In the **Actions** pane, click **Bindings**.
-4. In the **Site Bindings** dialog, Click **Add**.
-5. In the **Add Site Binding** dialog, select **https** from the **Type** list. In the **SSL certificate** list, select the certificate with the name that matches the FQDN of the computer.
-6. Click **OK**. Click **Close**. From the **Action** pane, click **Restart**.
-
-#### Configure the Web Service’s Security
-
-The Azure MFA Server service runs in the security context of the Local System. The MFA User Portal gets its user and configuration information from the Azure MFA server using the MFA Web Services. Access control to the information is gated by membership to the **Phonefactor Admins** security group. You need to configure the Web Service’s security to ensure the User Portal and the Mobile Application servers can securely communicate to the Azure MFA Server. Also, all User Portal server administrators must be included in the **Phonefactor Admins** security group.
-
-Sign in the domain controller with _domain administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-
-##### Create Phonefactor Admin group
-
-1. Open **Active Directory Users and Computers**
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the organization’s Active Directory domain name. Right-click the **Users** container, select **New**, and select **Group**.
-3. In the **New Object – Group** dialog box, type **Phonefactor Admins** in Group name.
-4. Click **OK**.
-
-##### Add accounts to the Phonefactor Admins group
-
-1. Open **Active Directory Users and Computers**.
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the organization’s Active Directory domain name. Select Users. In the content pane. Right-click the **Phonefactor Admins** security group and select **Properties**.
-3. Click the **Members** tab.
-4. Click **Add**. Click **Object Types..** In the **Object Types** dialog box, select **Computers** and click **OK**. Enter the following user and/or computers accounts in the **Enter the object names to select** box and then click **OK**.
- * The computer account for the primary MFA Server
- * Group or user account that will manage the User Portal server.
-
-
-#### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-
-* Confirm the hosts of the MFA service has enrolled a server authentication certificate with the proper names.
- * Record the expiration date of the certificate and set a renewal reminder at least six weeks before it expires that includes the:
- * Certificate serial number

-### User Portal Server
-
-The User Portal is an IIS Internet Information Server web site that allows users to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication and maintain their accounts. A user may change their phone number, change their PIN, or bypass Multi-Factor Authentication during their next sign on. Users will log in to the User Portal using their normal username and password and will either complete a Multi-Factor Authentication call or answer security questions to complete their authentication. If user enrollment is allowed, a user will configure their phone number and PIN the first time they log in to the User Portal. User Portal Administrators may be set up and granted permission to add new users and update existing users.
-
-The User Portal web site uses the user database that is synchronized across the MFA Servers, which enables a design to support multiple web servers for the User Portal and those servers can support internal and external customers. While the user portal web site can be installed directly on the MFA server, it is recommended to install the User Portal on a server separate from the MFA Server to protect the MFA user database, as a layered, defense-in-depth security design.
-
-#### Enroll for Server Authentication
-
-Internal and external users use the User Portal to manage their multifactor authentication settings. To protect this communication, you need to enroll all User Portal servers with a server authentication certificate. You can use an enterprise certificate to protect communication to internal User Portal servers.
-
-For external User Portal servers, it is typical to request a server authentication certificate from a public certificate authority. Contact a public certificate authority for more information on requesting a certificate for public use. Follow the procedures below to enroll an enterprise certificate on your User Portal server.
-
-Sign-in the User Portal server with _domain admin_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Start the Local Computer **Certificate Manager** (certlm.msc).
-2. Expand the **Personal** node in the navigation pane.
-3. Right-click **Personal**. Select **All Tasks** and **Request New Certificate**.
-4. Click **Next** on the **Before You Begin** page.
-5. Click **Next** on the **Select Certificate Enrollment Policy** page.
-6. On the **Request Certificates** page, Select the **Internal Web Server** check box.
-7. Click the **More information is required to enroll for this certificate. Click here to configure settings** link.
-8. Under **Subject name**, select **Common Name** from the **Type** list. Type the FQDN of the primary MFA server and then click **Add** (app1.corp.contoso.com).
-9. Under **Alternative name**, select **DNS** from the **Type** list. Type the FQDN of the name you will use for your User Portal service (mfaweb.corp.contoso.com).
-10. Click **Add**. Click **OK** when finished.
-11. Click **Enroll**.
-
-A server authentication certificate should appear in the computer’s Personal certificate store.
-
-#### Install the Web Server Role
-
-To do this, please follow the instructions mentioned in the previous [Install the Web Server Role](#install-the-web-server-role) section. However, do **not** install Security > Basic Authentication. The user portal server does not require this.
-
-#### Update the Server
-
-Update the server using Windows Update until the server has no required or optional updates as the Azure MFA Server software may require one or more of these updates for the installation and software to correctly work. These procedures install additional components that may need to be updated.
-
-#### Set the IIS Server Certificate
-
-To do this, please follow the instructions mentioned in the previous [Configure the IIS Server’s Certificate](#configure-the-iis-server-certificate) section.
-
-#### Create WebServices SDK user account
-
-The User Portal and Mobile Application web services need to communicate with the configuration database hosted on the primary MFA server. These services use a user account to communicate to authenticate to the primary MFA server. You can think of the WebServices SDK account as a service account used by other servers to access the WebServices SDK on the primary MFA server.
-
-1. Open **Active Directory Users and Computers**.
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the organization’s Active Directory domain name. Right-click the **Users** container, select **New**, and select **User**.
-3. In the **New Object – User** dialog box, type **PFWSDK_\** in the **First name** and **User logon name** boxes, where *\* is the name of the primary MFA server running the Web Services SDK. Click **Next**.
-4. Type a strong password and confirm it in the respective boxes. Clear **User must change password at next logon**. Click **Next**. Click **Finish** to create the user account.
-
-#### Add the MFA SDK user account to the Phonefactor Admins group
-
-Adding the WebServices SDK user account to the Phonefactor Admins group provides the user account with the proper authorization needed to access the configuration data on the primary MFA server using the WebServices SDK.
-
-1. Open **Active Directory Users and Computers**.
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the organization’s Active Directory domain name. Select **Users**. In the content pane. Right-click the **Phonefactor Admins** security group and select Properties.
-3. Click the Members tab.
-4. Click **Add**. Click **Object Types..** Type the PFWSDK_\ user name in the **Enter the object names to select** box and then click **OK**.
- * The computer account for the primary MFA Server
- * The Webservices SDK user account
- * Group or user account that will manage the User Portal server.
-
-
-#### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-
-* Confirm the hosts of the user portal are properly configure for load balancing and high-availability.
-* Confirm the hosts of the user portal have enrolled a server authentication certificate with the proper names.
- * Record the expiration date of the certificate and set a renewal reminder at least six weeks before it expires that includes the:
- * Certificate serial number
- * Certificate thumbprint
- * Common name of the certificate
- * Subject alternate name of the certificate
- * Name of the physical host server
- * The issued date
- * The expiration date
- * Issuing CA Vendor (if a third-party certificate)
-
-* Confirm the Web Server Role was properly configured on all servers.
-* Confirm all the hosts have the latest updates from Windows Update.
-* Confirm you created the web service SDK domain account and the account is a member of the Phonefactor Admins group.

-## Installing Primary Azure MFA Server
-
-When you install Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server, you have the following options:
-1. Install Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server locally on the same server as AD FS
-2. Install the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication adapter locally on the AD FS server, and then install Multi-Factor Authentication Server on a different computer (preferred deployment for production environments)
-
-See [Configure Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server to work with AD FS in Windows Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-adfs-w2k12) to view detailed installation and configuration options.
-
-Sign-in the federation server with _Domain Admin_ equivalent credentials and follow [To install and configure the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server#to-install-and-configure-the-azure-multi-factor-authentication-server) for an express setup with the configuration wizard. You can re-run the authentication wizard by selecting it from the Tools menu on the server.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Only follow the above mention article to install Azure MFA Server. Once it is intstalled, continue configuration using this article.
-
-### Configuring Company Settings
-
-You need to configure the MFA server with the default settings it applies to each user account when it is imported or synchronized from Active Directory.
-
-Sign-in the primary MFA server with MFA _administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Start the **Multi-Factor Server** application
-2. Click **Company Settings**.
-3. On the **General** Tab, select **Fail Authentication** from the **When internet is not accessible** list.
-4. In **User defaults**, select **Phone Call** or **Text Message**
- **Note:** You can use the mobile application; however, the configuration is beyond the scope of this document. Read [Getting started the MFA Server Mobile App Web Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server-webservice) to configure and use mobile application multi-factor authentication or the Install User Portal topic in the Multi-Factor Server help.
-5. Select **Enable Global Services** if you want to allow Multi-Factor Authentications to be made to telephone numbers in rate zones that have an associated charge.
-6. Clear the **User can change phone** check box to prevent users from changing their phone during the Multi-Factor Authentication call or in the User Portal. A consistent configuration is for users to change their phone numbers in Active Directory and let those changes synchronize to the multi-factor server using the Synchronization features in Directory Integration.
-7. Select **Fail Authentication** from the **When user is disabled** list. Users should provision their account through the user portal.
-8. Select the appropriate language from the **Phone call language**, **Text message language**, **Mobile app language**, and **OATH token language** lists.
-9. Under default PIN rules, Select the User can change PIN check box to enable users to change their PIN during multi-factor authentication and through the user portal.
-10. Configure the minimum length for the PIN.
-11. Select the **Prevent weak PINs** check box to reject weak PINs. A weak PIN is any PIN that could be easily guessed by a hacker: 3 sequential digits, 3 repeating digits, or any 4 digit subset of user phone number are not allowed. If you clear this box, then there are no restrictions on PIN format. For example: User tries to reset PIN to 1235 and is rejected because it's a weak PIN. User will be prompted to enter a valid PIN.
-12. Select the **Expiration days** check box if you want to expire PINs. If enabled, provide a numeric value representing the number of days the PIN is valid.
-13. Select the **PIN history** check box if you want to remember previously used PINs for the user. PIN History stores old PINs for each user. Users are not allowed to reset their PIN to any value stored in their PIN History. When cleared, no PIN History is stored. The default value is 5 and range is 1 to 10.

-
-### Configuring Email Settings and Content
-
-If you are deploying in a lab or proof-of-concept, then you have the option of skipping this step. In a production environment, ideally, you’ll want to setup the Azure Multifactor Authentication Server and its user portal web interface prior to sending the email. The email gives your users time to visit the user portal and configure the multi-factor settings.
-
-Now that you have imported or synchronized with your Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server, it is advised that you send your users an email that informs them that they have been enrolled in multi-factor authentication.
-
-With the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server there are various ways to configure your users for using multi-factor authentication. For instance, if you know the users’ phone numbers or were able to import the phone numbers into the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server from their company’s directory, the email will let users know that they have been configured to use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication, provide some instructions on using Azure Multi-Factor Authentication and inform the user of the phone number they will receive their authentications on.
-
-The content of the email will vary depending on the method of authentication that has been set for the user (e.g. phone call, SMS, mobile application). For example, if the user is required to use a PIN when they authenticate, the email will tell them what their initial PIN has been set to. Users are usually required to change their PIN during their first authentication.
-
-If users’ phone numbers have not been configured or imported into the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server, or users are pre-configured to use the mobile application for authentication, you can send them an email that lets them know that they have been configured to use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication and it will direct them to complete their account enrollment through the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication User Portal. A hyperlink will be included that the user clicks on to access the User Portal. When the user clicks on the hyperlink, their web browser will open and take them to their company’s Azure Multi-Factor Authentication User Portal.
-
-#### Settings
-
-By clicking the email icon on the left you can setup the settings for sending these emails. This is where you can enter the SMTP information of your mail server and it allows you to send a blanket wide email by adding a check to the Send mails to users check box.
-
-#### Content
-
-On the Email Content tab, you will see all of the various email templates that are available to choose from. So, depending on how you have configured your users to use multi-factor authentication, you can choose the template that best suits you.
-
-##### Edit the Content Settings
-
-The Azure MFA server does not send emails, even when configured to do so, until you configured the sender information for each email template listed in the Content tab.
-
-Sign-in the primary MFA server with MFA _administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** console.
-2. Click **Email** from the list of icons and click the **Email Content** tab.
-3. Select an email template from the list of templates. Click **Edit**.
-4. In the **Edit Email** dialog, in the **From** text box, type the email address of the person or group that should appear to have sent the email.
- 
-
-5. Optionally, customize other options in the email template.
-6. When finished editing the template, Click **Apply**.
-7. Click **Next** to move to the next email in the list. Repeat steps 4 and 6 to edit the changes.
-8. Click **Close** when you are done editing the email templates.
-
-### Configuring Directory Integration Settings and Synchronization
-
-Synchronization keeps the Multi-Factor Authentication user database synchronized with the users in Active Directory or another LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol directory. The process is similar to Importing Users from Active Directory, but periodically polls for Active Directory user and security group changes to process. It also provides for disabling or removing users removed from a container or security group and removing users deleted from Active Directory.
-
-It is important to use a different group memberships for synchronizing users from Active Directory and for enabling Windows Hello for Business. Keeping the group memberships separated enables you to synchronize users and configure MFA options without immediately deploying Windows Hello for Business to that user. This deployment approach provides the maximum flexibility, which gives users the ability to configure their settings before they provision Windows Hello for Business. To start provisioning, simply add the group used for synchronization to the Windows Hello for Business Users group (or equivalent if you use custom names).
-
-#### MultiFactorAuthAdSync Service
-
-The MultiFactorAuthAdSync service is a Windows service that performs the periodic polling of Active Directory. It is installed in a Stopped state and is started by the MultiFactorAuth service when configured to run. If you have a multi-server Multi-Factor Authentication configuration, the MultiFactorAuthAdSync may only be run on a single server.
-
-The MultiFactorAuthAdSync service uses the DirSync LDAP server extension provided by Microsoft to efficiently poll for changes. This DirSync control caller must have the "directory get changes" right and DS-Replication-Get-Changes extended control access right. By default, these rights are assigned to the Administrator and LocalSystem accounts on domain controllers. The MultiFactorAuthAdSync service is configured to run as LocalSystem by default. Therefore, it is simplest to run the service on a domain controller. The service can run as an account with lesser permissions if you configure it to always perform a full synchronization. This is less efficient, but requires less account privileges.
-
-#### Settings
-
-Configuring the directory synchronization between Active Directory and the Azure MFA server is easy.
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _MFA administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** console.
-2. From the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** window, click the **Directory Integration** icon.
-3. Click the **Synchronization** tab.
-4. Select **Use Active Directory**.
-5. Select **Include trusted domains** to have the Multi-Factor Authentication Server attempt to connect to domains trusted by the current domain, another domain in the forest, or domains involved in a forest trust. When not importing or synchronizing users from any of the trusted domains, clear the check box to improve performance.
-
-#### Synchronization
-
-The MFA server uses synchronization items to synchronize users from Active Directory to the MFA server database. Synchronization items enables you to synchronize a collection of users based security groups or Active Directory containers.
-
-You can configure synchronization items based on different criteria and filters. For the purpose of configuring Windows Hello for Business, you need to create a synchronization item based membership of the Windows Hello for Business user group. This ensures the same users who receive Windows Hello for Business policy settings are the same users synchronized to the MFA server (and are the same users with permission to enroll in the certificate). This significantly simplifies deployment and troubleshooting.
-
-See [Directory integration between Azure MFA Server and Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server-dirint) for more details.
-
-##### To add a synchronization item
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _MFA administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** console.
-2. From the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** window, click the **Directory Integration** icon.
-3. Select the **Synchronization** tab.
-4. On the **Synchronization** tab, click **Add**.
- 
-
-5. In the **Add Synchronization Item** dialog, select **Security Groups** from the **View** list.
-6. Select the group you are using for replication from the list of groups
-7. Select **Selected Security Groups – Recursive** or, select **Security Group** from the **Import** list if you do not plan to nest groups.
-8. Select **Add new users and Update existing users**.
-9. Select **Disable/Remove users no longer a member** and select **Disable** from the list.
-10. Select the attributes appropriate for your environment for **Import phone** and **Backup**.
-11. Select **Enabled** and select **Only New Users with Phone Number** from the list.
-12. Select **Send email** and select **New and Updated Users**.
-
-##### Configure synchronization item defaults
-
-1. When creating a new or editing a synchronization item from the Multi-Factor Authentication Server, select the **Method Defaults** tab.
-2. Select the default second factor authentication method. For example, if the second factor of authentication is a text message, select **Text message**. Select if the direction of text message authentication and if the authentication should use a one-time password or one-time password and PIN (Ensure users are configured to create a PIN if the default second factor of communication requires a PIN).
-
-##### Configure synchronization language defaults
-
-1. When creating a new or editing a synchronization item from the Multi-Factor Authentication Server, select the **Language Defaults** tab.
-2. Select the appropriate default language for these groups of users synchronized by these synchronization item.
-3. If creating a new synchronization item, click **Add** to save the item. If editing an existing synchronization item, click **Apply** and then click **Close**.

-
-### Installing the MFA Web Services SDK
-
-The Web Service SDK section allows the administrator to install the Multi-Factor Authentication Web Service SDK. The Web Service SDK is an IIS (Internet Information Server) web service that provides an interface for integrating the full features of the Multi-Factor Authentication Server into most any application. The Web Service SDK uses the Multi-Factor Authentication Server as the data store.
-
-Remember the Web Services SDK is only need on the primary Multi-Factor to easily enable other servers access to the configuration information. The prerequisites section guided you through installing and configuring the items needed for the Web Services SDK, however the installer will validate the prerequisites and make suggest any corrective action needed.
-
-Please follow the instructions under [Install the web service SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server-webservice#install-the-web-service-sdk) to install the MFA Web Services SDK.
-
-## Install Secondary MFA Servers
-
-Additional MFA servers provided redundancy of the MFA configuration. The MFA server models uses one primary MFA server with multiple secondary servers. Servers within the same group establish communication with the primary server for that group. The primary server replicates to each of the secondary servers. You can use groups to partition the data stored on different servers, for example you can create a group for each domain, forest, or organizational unit.
-
-Follow the same procedures for installing the primary MFA server software for each additional server. Remember that each server must be activated.
-
-Sign in the secondary MFA server with _domain administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Once the Multi-Factor Authentication Server console starts, you must configure the current server’s replication group membership. You have the option to join an existing group or create a new group. When joining an existing group, the server becomes a secondary server in the existing replication group. When creating a new group, the server becomes the primary server of that replication group. Click **OK**.
- **Note:** Group membership cannot be changed after activation. If a server was joined to the wrong group, it must be activated again to join a different group. Please contact support for assistance with deactivating and reactivating a server.
-2. The console asks you if you want to enable replication by running the **Multi-Server Configuration Wizard**. Click **Yes**.
-3. In the **Multi-Server Configuration Wizard**, leave **Active Directory** selected and clear **Certificates**. Click **Next**.
-4. On the **Active Directory** page, the wizard determines what configuration is needed to enable replication. Typically, the wizard recommends adding the computer account for the current server to the **PhoneFactor Admin** group. Click **Next** to add the computer account to the group.
-5. On the **Multi-Server Configuration Complete** page, click **Finish** to reboot the computer to update its group membership.
-
-### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-* Confirm you downloaded the latest Azure MFA Server from the Azure Portal.
-* Confirm the server has Internet connectivity.
-* Confirm you installed and activated the Azure MFA Server.
-* Confirm your Azure MFA Server configuration meets your organization’s needs (Company Settings, Email Settings, etc).
-* Confirm you created Directory Synchronization items based on your deployment to synchronize users from Active Directory to the Azure MFA server.
- * For example, you have security groups representing each collection of users that represent a phase of your deployment and a corresponding synchronization item for each of those groups.
-
-* Confirm the Azure MFA server properly communicates with the Azure MFA cloud service by testing multifactor authentication with a newly synchronized user account.
-* Confirm you installed the Web Service SDK on the primary MFA server.
-* Confirm your MFA servers have adequate redundancy, should you need to promote a secondary server to the primary server.
-
-
-## Installing the User Portal Server
-
-You previously configured the User Portal settings on the primary MFA server. The User Portal web application communicates to the primary MFA server using the Web Services SDK to retrieve these settings. This configuration is ideal to ensure you can scale up the User Portal application to meet the needs of your internal users.
-
-### Copying the User Portal Installation file
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer.
-2. Browse to the C:\Program Files\MultiFactor Authentication Server folder.
-3. Copy the **MultiFactorAuthenticationUserPortalSetup64.msi** file to a folder on the User Portal server.
-
-### Configure Virtual Directory name
-
-Sign in the User Portal server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to the folder to which you saved the installation file from the previous step.
-2. Run the **MultiFactorAuthenticationUserPortalSetup64.msi**. The installation package asks if you want to download **Visual Studio C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015**. Click **Yes**. When prompted, select **Save As**. The downloaded file is missing its file extension. **Save the file with a .exe extension and install the runtime**.
-3. Run the installation package again. The installer package asks about the C++ runtime again; however, this is for the X64 version (the previous prompt was for x86). Click **Yes** to download the installation package and select **Save As** so you can save the downloaded file with a .exe extension. **Install** the run time.
-4. Run the User Portal installation package. On the **Select Installation Address** page, use the default settings for **Site** and **Application Pool** settings. You can modify the Virtual directory to use a name that is more fitting for the environment, such as **mfa** (This virtual directory must match the virtual directory specified in the User Portal settings). Click **Next**.
-5. Click **Close**.
-
-### Edit MFA User Portal config file
-
-Sign in the User Portal server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MultiFactorAuth (or appropriate directory based on the virtual directory name) and edit the **web.config** file.
-2. Locate the **USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK** key and change the value from **false** to **true**.
-3. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME** key and set the value to the username of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group. Use a qualified username, like domain\username or machine\username.
-4. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD** key and set the value to the password of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group.
-5. Locate the **pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk** setting and change the value from **“** to the URL of the Web Service SDK that is running on the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server (e.g. ). Since SSL is used for this connection, refer to the Web Service SDK by server name, not IP address, since the SSL certificate was issued for the server name. If the server name does not resolve to an IP address from the Internet-facing server, add an entry to the hosts file on that server to map the name of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server to its IP address. Save the **web.config** file after changes have been made.
-
-### Create a DNS entry for the User Portal web site
-
-Sign-in the domain controller or administrative workstation with _Domain Admin_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **DNS Management** console.
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the domain controller name node and **Forward Lookup Zones**.
-3. In the navigation pane, select the node that has the name of your internal Active Directory domain name.
-4. In the navigation pane, right-click the domain name node and click **New Host (A or AAAA)**.
-5. In the **name** box, type the host name of the User Portal, such as *mfaweb* (this name must match the name of the certificate used to secure communication to the User Portal). In the IP address box, type the load balanced **IP address** of the User Portal. Click **Add Host**.
-6. Close the **DNS Management** console.
-
-### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-* Confirm the user portal application is properly installed on all user portal hosts
-* Confirm the USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK named value has a value equal to true.
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME named value has the username of the web service SDK domain account previously created and that the user name is represented as DOMAIN\USERNAME
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICES_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD named value has the correct password for the web service SDK domain account.
-* Confirm the pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk named value has value that matches the URL of for the SDK service installed on the primary MFA server.
-* Confirm you saved the changes to the web.config file.
-
-### Validating your work
-
-Windows Hello for Business is a distributed system, which on the surface appears complex and difficult. The key to a successful Windows Hello for Business deployment is to validate phases of work prior to moving to the next phase.
-
-Using a web browser, navigate to the URL provided in the *pf_up_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk* named value in the web.config file of any one of the user portal servers. The URL should be protected by a server authentication certificate and should prompt you for authentication. Authenticate to the web site using the username and password provided in the web.config file. Successful authentication and page view confirms the Web SDK configured on the primary MFA server is correctly configured and ready to work with the user portal.
-
-### Configuring the User Portal
-
-The User Portal section allows the administrator to install and configure the Multi-Factor Authentication User Portal. The User Portal is an IIS Internet Information Server web site that allows users to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication and maintain their accounts. A user may change their phone number, change their PIN, or bypass Multi-Factor Authentication during their next sign on. Users will log in to the User Portal using their normal username and password and will either complete a Multi-Factor Authentication call or answer security questions to complete their authentication. If user enrollment is allowed, a user will configure their phone number and PIN the first time they log in to the User Portal.
-User Portal Administrators may be set up and granted permission to add new users and update existing users.

-#### Trusted IPs
-
-The [Trusted IPs](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-portal#trusted-ips) tab allows you to skip Multi-Factor Authentication for User Portal log ins originating from specific IPs. For example, if users use the User Portal from the office and from home, you may decide you don't want their phones ringing for Multi-Factor Authentication while at the office. For this, you would specify the office subnet as a trusted IP entry.
-
-## Configure the AD FS Server to use the MFA for multifactor authentication
-
-You need to configure the AD FS server to use the MFA server. You do this by Installing the MFA Adapter on the primary AD FS Server.
-
-### Install the MFA AD FS Adapter
-
-Follow [Install a standalone instance of the AD FS adapter by using the Web Service SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-adfs-w2k12#install-a-standalone-instance-of-the-ad-fs-adapter-by-using-the-web-service-sdk). You should follow this instructions on all AD FS servers. You can find the files needed on the MFA server.
-
-### Edit the MFA AD FS Adapter config file on all ADFS Servers
-
-Sign in the primary AD FS server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to **C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MultiFactorAuth** (or appropriate directory based on the virtual directory name) and edit the **MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.config** file.
-2. Locate the **USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK** key and change the value from **false** to **true**.
-3. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME** key and set the value to the username of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group. Use a qualified username, like domain\username or machine\username.
-4. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD** key and set the value to the password of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group.
-5. Locate the **pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk** setting and change the value from “ to the URL of the Web Service SDK that is running on the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server (e.g. ). Since SSL is used for this connection, refer to the Web Service SDK by server name, not IP address, since the SSL certificate was issued for the server name. If the server name does not resolve to an IP address from the Internet-facing server, add an entry to the hosts file on that server to map the name of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server to its IP address. Save the **MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.config** file after changes have been made.
-
-### Edit the AD FS Adapter Windows PowerShell cmdlet
-
-Sign in the primary AD FS server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-
-Edit the **Register-MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.ps1** script adding `-ConfigurationFilePath ` to the end of the `Register-AdfsAuthenticationProvider` command where **\** is the full path to the **MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.config** file.
-
-### Run the AD FS Adapter PowerShell cmdlet
-
-Sign in the primary AD FS server with local administrator equivalent credentials.
-
-Run **Register-MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.ps1** script in PowerShell to register the adapter. The adapter is registered as **WindowsAzureMultiFactorAuthentication**.
-
->[!NOTE]
->You must restart the AD FS service for the registration to take effect.
-
-### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-* Confirm the user portal application is properly installed on all user portal hosts
-* Confirm the USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK named value has a value equal to true.
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME named value has the username of the web service SDK domain account previously created and that the user name is represented as DOMAIN\USERNAME
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICES_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD named value has the correct password for the web service SDK domain account.
-* Confirm the pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk named value has value that matches the URL of for the SDK service installed on the primary MFA server.
-* Confirm you saved the changes to the web.config file.
-* Confirm you restarted the AD FS Service after completing the configuration.
-
-## Test Multifactor Authentication
-
-Now, you should test your Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server configuration before proceeding any further in the deployment. The AD FS and Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server configurations are complete.
-
-1. In the **Multi-Factor Authentication** server, on the left, click **Users**.
-2. In the list of users, select a user that is enabled and has a valid phone number to which you have access.
-3. Click **Test**.
-4. In the **Test User** dialog, provide the user’s password to authenticate the user to Active Directory.
-
-The Multi-Factor Authentication server communicates with the Azure MFA cloud service to perform a second factor authentication for the user. The Azure MFA cloud service contacts the phone number provided and asks for the user to perform the second factor authentication configured for the user. Successfully providing the second factor should result in the Multi-factor authentication server showing a success dialog.

-Windows Hello for Business requires all users perform multi-factor authentication prior to creating and registering a Windows Hello for Business credential. Windows Hello for Business deployments use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (Azure MFA) services for the secondary authentication. On-Premises deployments use Azure MFA server, an on-premises implementation that do not require synchronizing Active Directory credentials to Azure Active Directory.
+Windows Hello for Business requires all users perform multi-factor authentication prior to creating and registering a Windows Hello for Business credential. On-premises deployments can use certificates, third-party authentication providers for AD FS, or a custom authentication provider for AD FS as an on-premises MFA option.
-Azure Multi-Factor Authentication is an easy to use, scalable, and reliable solution that provides a second method of authentication so your users are always protected.
-* **Easy to Use** - Azure Multi-Factor Authentication is simple to set up and use. The extra protection that comes with Azure Multi-Factor Authentication allows users to manage their own devices. Best of all, in many instances it can be set up with just a few simple clicks.
-* **Scalable** - Azure Multi-Factor Authentication uses the power of the cloud and integrates with your on-premises AD and custom applications. This protection is even extended to your high-volume, mission-critical scenarios.
-* **Always Protected** - Azure Multi-Factor Authentication provides strong authentication using the highest industry standards.
-* **Reliable** - We guarantee 99.9% availability of Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. The service is considered unavailable when it is unable to receive or process verification requests for the two-step verification.
+For information on available third-party authentication methods see [Configure Additional Authentication Methods for AD FS](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-additional-authentication-methods-for-ad-fs). For creating a custom authentication method see [Build a Custom Authentication Method for AD FS in Windows Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/development/ad-fs-build-custom-auth-method)
-## On-Premises Azure MFA Server
-
-On-premises deployments, both key and certificate trust, use the Azure MFA server where the credentials are not synchronized to Azure Active Directory.
-
-### Infrastructure
-
-A lab or proof-of-concept environment does not need high-availability or scalability. However, a production environment needs both of these. Ensure your environment considers and incorporates these factors, as necessary. All production environments should have a minimum of two MFA servers—one primary and one secondary server. The environment should have a minimum of two User Portal Servers that are load balanced using hardware or Windows Network Load Balancing.
-
-Please follow [Download the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server#download-the-azure-multi-factor-authentication-server) to download Azure MFA server.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Make sure to validate the requirements for Azure MFA server, as outlined in [Install and Configure the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server#install-and-configure-the-azure-multi-factor-authentication-server) before proceeding. Do not use installation instructions provided in the article.
-
-Once you have validated all the requirements, please proceed to [Configure or Deploy Multifactor Authentication Services](hello-cert-trust-deploy-mfa.md).
+Follow the integration and deployment guide for the authentication provider you select to integrate and deploy it to AD FS. Make sure that the authentication provider is selected as a multi-factor authentication option in the AD FS authentication policy. For information on configuring AD FS authentication policies see [Configure Authentication Policies](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-authentication-policies).

-# Configure or Deploy Multifactor Authentication Services
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10, version 1703 or later
-- On-premises deployment
-- Key trust
-
-
-On-premises deployments must use the On-premises Azure MFA Server using the AD FS adapter model Optionally, you can use a third-party MFA server that provides an AD FS Multifactor authentication adapter.
-
->[!TIP]
->Please make sure you've read [Validate and Deploy Multifactor Authentication Services (MFA)](hello-cert-trust-validate-deploy-mfa.md) before proceeding any further.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-The Azure MFA Server and User Portal servers have several perquisites and must have connectivity to the Internet.
-
-### Primary MFA Server
-
-The Azure MFA server uses a primary and secondary replication model for its configuration database. The primary Azure MFA server hosts the writable partition of the configuration database. All secondary Azure MFA servers hosts read-only partitions of the configuration database. All production environment should deploy a minimum of two MFA Servers.
-
-For this documentation, the primary MFA uses the name **mf*a*** or **mfa.corp.contoso.com**. All secondary servers use the name **mfa*n*** or **mfa*n*.corp.contoso.com**, where *n* is the number of the deployed MFA server.
-
-The primary MFA server is also responsible for synchronizing from Active Directory. Therefore, the primary MFA server should be domain joined and fully patched.
-
-#### Enroll for Server Authentication
-
-The communication between the primary MFA server, secondary MFA servers, User Portal servers, and the client is protected using TLS, which needs a server authentication certificate.
-
-Sign-in the primary MFA server with _domain admin_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Start the Local Computer **Certificate Manager** (certlm.msc).
-2. Expand the **Personal** node in the navigation pane.
-3. Right-click **Personal**. Select **All Tasks** and **Request New Certificate**.
-4. Click **Next** on the **Before You Begin** page.
-5. Click **Next** on the **Select Certificate Enrollment Policy** page.
-6. On the **Request Certificates** page, Select the **Internal Web Server** check box.
-7. Click the **More information is required to enroll for this certificate. Click here to configure settings** link.
-8. Under **Subject name**, select **Common Name** from the **Type** list. Type the FQDN of the primary MFA server and then click **Add** (mfa.corp.contoso.com). Click **Add**. Click **OK** when finished.
-9. Click **Enroll**.
-
-A server authentication certificate should appear in the computer’s Personal certificate store.
-
-#### Install the Web Server Role
-
-The Azure MFA server does not require the Web Server role, however, User Portal and the optional Mobile Application server communicate with the MFA server database using the MFA Web Services SDK. The MFA Web Services SDK uses the Web Server role.
-
-To install the Web Server (IIS) role, please follow [Installing IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2](https://docs.microsoft.com/iis/install/installing-iis-7/installing-iis-7-and-above-on-windows-server-2008-or-windows-server-2008-r2) or [Installing IIS 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2](https://docs.microsoft.com/iis/install/installing-iis-85/installing-iis-85-on-windows-server-2012-r2) depending on the host Operating System you're going to use.
-
-The following services are required:
-* Common Parameters > Default Document.
-* Common Parameters > Directory Browsing.
-* Common Parameters > HTTP Errors.
-* Common Parameters > Static Content.
-* Health and Diagnostics > HTTP Logging.
-* Performance > Static Content Compression.
-* Security > Request Filtering.
-* Security > Basic Authentication.
-* Management Tools > IIS Management Console.
-* Management Tools > IIS 6 Management Compatibility.
-* Application Development > ASP.NET 4.5.
-
-#### Update the Server
-
-Update the server using Windows Update until the server has no required or optional updates as the Azure MFA Server software may require one or more of these updates for the installation and software to correctly work. These procedures install additional components that may need to be updated.
-
-#### Configure the IIS Server’s Certificate
-
-The TLS protocol protects all the communication to and from the MFA server. To enable this protection, you must configure the default web site to use the previously enrolled server authentication certificate.
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. From **Administrators**, Start the **Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager** console
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the same name as the local computer. Expand **Settings** and select **Default Web Site**.
-3. In the **Actions** pane, click **Bindings**.
-4. In the **Site Bindings** dialog, Click **Add**.
-5. In the **Add Site Binding** dialog, select **https** from the **Type** list. In the **SSL certificate** list, select the certificate with the name that matches the FQDN of the computer.
-6. Click **OK**. Click **Close**. From the **Action** pane, click **Restart**.
-
-#### Configure the Web Service’s Security
-
-The Azure MFA Server service runs in the security context of the Local System. The MFA User Portal gets its user and configuration information from the Azure MFA server using the MFA Web Services. Access control to the information is gated by membership to the Phonefactor Admins security group. You need to configure the Web Service’s security to ensure the User Portal and the Mobile Application servers can securely communicate to the Azure MFA Server. Also, all User Portal server administrators must be included in the Phonefactor Admins security group.

-### User Portal Server
-
-The User Portal is an IIS Internet Information Server web site that allows users to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication and maintain their accounts. A user may change their phone number, change their PIN, or bypass Multi-Factor Authentication during their next sign on. Users will log in to the User Portal using their normal username and password and will either complete a Multi-Factor Authentication call or answer security questions to complete their authentication. If user enrollment is allowed, a user will configure their phone number and PIN the first time they log in to the User Portal. User Portal Administrators may be set up and granted permission to add new users and update existing users.
-
-The User Portal web site uses the user database that is synchronized across the MFA Servers, which enables a design to support multiple web servers for the User Portal and those servers can support internal and external customers. While the user portal web site can be installed directly on the MFA server, it is recommended to install the User Portal on a server separate from the MFA Server to protect the MFA user database, as a layered, defense-in-depth security design.
-
-#### Enroll for Server Authentication
-
-Internal and external users use the User Portal to manage their multifactor authentication settings. To protect this communication, you need to enroll all User Portal servers with a server authentication certificate. You can use an enterprise certificate to protect communication to internal User Portal servers.
-
-For external User Portal servers, it is typical to request a server authentication certificate from a public certificate authority. Contact a public certificate authority for more information on requesting a certificate for public use. Follow the procedures below to enroll an enterprise certificate on your User Portal server.
-
-Sign-in the User Portal server with _domain admin_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Start the Local Computer **Certificate Manager** (certlm.msc).
-2. Expand the **Personal** node in the navigation pane.
-3. Right-click **Personal**. Select **All Tasks** and **Request New Certificate**.
-4. Click **Next** on the **Before You Begin** page.
-5. Click **Next** on the **Select Certificate Enrollment Policy** page.
-6. On the **Request Certificates** page, Select the **Internal Web Server** check box.
-7. Click the **More information is required to enroll for this certificate. Click here to configure settings** link.
-8. Under **Subject name**, select **Common Name** from the **Type** list. Type the FQDN of the primary MFA server and then click **Add** (app1.corp.contoso.com).
-9. Under **Alternative name**, select **DNS** from the **Type** list. Type the FQDN of the name you will use for your User Portal service (mfaweb.corp.contoso.com).
-10. Click **Add**. Click **OK** when finished.
-11. Click **Enroll**.
-
-A server authentication certificate should appear in the computer’s Personal certificate store.
-
-#### Install the Web Server Role
-
-To do this, please follow the instructions mentioned in the previous [Install the Web Server Role](#install-the-web-server-role) section. However, do **not** install Security > Basic Authentication. The user portal server does not require this.
-
-#### Update the Server
-
-Update the server using Windows Update until the server has no required or optional updates as the Azure MFA Server software may require one or more of these updates for the installation and software to correctly work. These procedures install additional components that may need to be updated.
-
-#### Configure the IIS Server’s Certificate
-
-To do this, please follow the instructions mentioned in the previous [Configure the IIS Server’s Certificate](#configure-the-iis-servers-certificate) section.
-
-#### Create WebServices SDK user account
-
-The User Portal and Mobile Application web services need to communicate with the configuration database hosted on the primary MFA server. These services use a user account to communicate to authenticate to the primary MFA server. You can think of the WebServices SDK account as a service account used by other servers to access the WebServices SDK on the primary MFA server.
-
-1. Open **Active Directory Users and Computers**.
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the organization’s Active Directory domain name. Right-click the **Users** container, select **New**, and select **User**.
-3. In the **New Object – User** dialog box, type **PFWSDK_\** in the **First name** and **User logon name** boxes, where *\* is the name of the primary MFA server running the Web Services SDK. Click **Next**.
-4. Type a strong password and confirm it in the respective boxes. Clear **User must change password at next logon**. Click **Next**. Click **Finish** to create the user account.
-
-#### Add the MFA SDK user account to the Phonefactor Admins group
-
-Adding the WebServices SDK user account to the Phonefactor Admins group provides the user account with the proper authorization needed to access the configuration data on the primary MFA server using the WebServices SDK.
-
-1. Open **Active Directory Users and Computers**.
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the node with the organization’s Active Directory domain name. Select **Users**. In the content pane. Right-click the **Phonefactors Admin** security group and select Properties.
-3. Click the Members tab.
-4. Click **Add**. Click **Object Types..** Type the PFWSDK_\ user name in the **Enter the object names to select** box and then click **OK**.
- * The computer account for the primary MFA Server
- * The Webservices SDK user account
- * Group or user account that will manage the User Portal server.
-
-
-#### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-
-* Confirm the hosts of the user portal are properly configure for load balancing and high-availability.
-* Confirm the hosts of the user portal have enrolled a server authentication certificate with the proper names.
- * Record the expiration date of the certificate and set a renewal reminder at least six weeks before it expires that includes the:
- * Certificate serial number
- * Certificate thumbprint
- * Common name of the certificate
- * Subject alternate name of the certificate
- * Name of the physical host server
- * The issued date
- * The expiration date
- * Issuing CA Vendor (if a third-party certificate)
-
-* Confirm the Web Server Role was properly configured on all servers.
-* Confirm all the hosts have the latest updates from Windows Update.
-* Confirm you created the web service SDK domain account and the account is a member of the Phonefactor Admins group.

-## Installing Primary Azure MFA Server
-
-When you install Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server, you have the following options:
-1. Install Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server locally on the same server as AD FS
-2. Install the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication adapter locally on the AD FS server, and then install Multi-Factor Authentication Server on a different computer (preferred deployment for production environments)
-
-See [Configure Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server to work with AD FS in Windows Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-adfs-w2k12) to view detailed installation and configuration options.
-
-Sign-in the federation server with _Domain Admin_ equivalent credentials and follow [To install and configure the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server#to-install-and-configure-the-azure-multi-factor-authentication-server) for an express setup with the configuration wizard. You can re-run the authentication wizard by selecting it from the Tools menu on the server.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Only follow the above mention article to install Azure MFA Server. Once it is installed, continue configuration using this article.
-
-### Configuring Company Settings
-
-You need to configure the MFA server with the default settings it applies to each user account when it is imported or synchronized from Active Directory.
-
-Sign-in the primary MFA server with MFA _administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Start the **Multi-Factor Server** application
-2. Click **Company Settings**.
-3. On the **General** Tab, select **Fail Authentication** from the **When internet is not accessible** list.
-4. In **User defaults**, select **Phone Call** or **Text Message**
- **Note:** You can use mobile application; however, the configuration is beyond the scope of this document. Read [Getting started the MFA Server Mobile App Web Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server-webservice) to configure and use mobile application multi-factor authentication or the Install User Portal topic in the Multi-Factor Server help.
-5. Select **Enable Global Services** if you want to allow Multi-Factor Authentications to be made to telephone numbers in rate zones that have an associated charge.
-6. Clear the **User can change phone** check box to prevent users from changing their phone during the Multi-Factor Authentication call or in the User Portal. A consistent configuration is for users to change their phone numbers in Active Directory and let those changes synchronize to the multi-factor server using the Synchronization features in Directory Integration.
-7. Select **Fail Authentication** from the **When user is disabled** list. Users should provision their account through the user portal.
-8. Select the appropriate language from the **Phone call language**, **Text message language**, **Mobile app language**, and **OATH token language** lists.
-9. Under default PIN rules, Select the User can change PIN check box to enable users to change their PIN during multi-factor authentication and through the user portal.
-10. Configure the minimum length for the PIN.
-11. Select the **Prevent weak PINs** check box to reject weak PINs. A weak PIN is any PIN that could be easily guessed by a hacker: 3 sequential digits, 3 repeating digits, or any 4 digit subset of user phone number are not allowed. If you clear this box, then there are no restrictions on PIN format. For example: User tries to reset PIN to 1235 and is rejected because it's a weak PIN. User will be prompted to enter a valid PIN.
-12. Select the **Expiration days** check box if you want to expire PINs. If enabled, provide a numeric value representing the number of days the PIN is valid.
-13. Select the **PIN history** check box if you want to remember previously used PINs for the user. PIN History stores old PINs for each user. Users are not allowed to reset their PIN to any value stored in their PIN History. When cleared, no PIN History is stored. The default value is 5 and range is 1 to 10.
-

-
-### Configuring Email Settings and Content
-
-If you are deploying in a lab or proof-of-concept, then you have the option of skipping this step. In a production environment, ideally, you’ll want to setup the Azure Multifactor Authentication Server and its user portal web interface prior to sending the email. The email gives your users time to visit the user portal and configure the multi-factor settings.
-
-Now that you have imported or synchronized with your Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server, it is advised that you send your users an email that informs them that they have been enrolled in multi-factor authentication.
-
-With the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server there are various ways to configure your users for using multi-factor authentication. For instance, if you know the users’ phone numbers or were able to import the phone numbers into the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server from their company’s directory, the email will let users know that they have been configured to use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication, provide some instructions on using Azure Multi-Factor Authentication and inform the user of the phone number they will receive their authentications on.
-
-The content of the email will vary depending on the method of authentication that has been set for the user (e.g. phone call, SMS, mobile application). For example, if the user is required to use a PIN when they authenticate, the email will tell them what their initial PIN has been set to. Users are usually required to change their PIN during their first authentication.
-
-If users’ phone numbers have not been configured or imported into the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server, or users are pre-configured to use the mobile application for authentication, you can send them an email that lets them know that they have been configured to use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication and it will direct them to complete their account enrollment through the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication User Portal. A hyperlink will be included that the user clicks on to access the User Portal. When the user clicks on the hyperlink, their web browser will open and take them to their company’s Azure Multi-Factor Authentication User Portal.
-
-#### Settings
-
-By clicking the email icon on the left you can setup the settings for sending these emails. This is where you can enter the SMTP information of your mail server and it allows you to send a blanket wide email by adding a check to the Send mails to users check box.
-
-#### Content
-
-On the Email Content tab, you will see all of the various email templates that are available to choose from. So, depending on how you have configured your users to use multi-factor authentication, you can choose the template that best suits you.
-
-##### Edit the Content Settings
-
-The Azure MFA server does not send emails, even when configured to do so, until you configured the sender information for each email template listed in the Content tab.
-
-Sign-in the primary MFA server with MFA _administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** console.
-2. Click **Email** from the list of icons and click the **Email Content** tab.
-3. Select an email template from the list of templates. Click **Edit**.
-4. In the **Edit Email** dialog, in the **From** text box, type the email address of the person or group that should appear to have sent the email.
- 
-
-5. Optionally, customize other options in the email template.
-6. When finished editing the template, Click **Apply**.
-7. Click **Next** to move to the next email in the list. Repeat steps 4 and 6 to edit the changes.
-8. Click **Close** when you are done editing the email templates.
-
-### Configuring Directory Integration Settings and Synchronization
-
-Synchronization keeps the Multi-Factor Authentication user database synchronized with the users in Active Directory or another LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol directory. The process is similar to Importing Users from Active Directory, but periodically polls for Active Directory user and security group changes to process. It also provides for disabling or removing users removed from a container or security group and removing users deleted from Active Directory.
-
-It is important to use a different group memberships for synchronizing users from Active Directory and for enabling Windows Hello for Business. Keeping the group memberships separated enables you to synchronize users and configure MFA options without immediately deploying Windows Hello for Business to that user. This deployment approach provides the maximum flexibility, which gives users the ability to configure their settings before they provision Windows Hello for Business. To start provisioning, simply add the group used for synchronization to the Windows Hello for Business Users group (or equivalent if you use custom names).
-
-#### MultiFactorAuthAdSync Service
-
-The MultiFactorAuthAdSync service is a Windows service that performs the periodic polling of Active Directory. It is installed in a Stopped state and is started by the MultiFactorAuth service when configured to run. If you have a multi-server Multi-Factor Authentication configuration, the MultiFactorAuthAdSync may only be run on a single server.
-
-The MultiFactorAuthAdSync service uses the DirSync LDAP server extension provided by Microsoft to efficiently poll for changes. This DirSync control caller must have the "directory get changes" right and DS-Replication-Get-Changes extended control access right. By default, these rights are assigned to the Administrator and LocalSystem accounts on domain controllers. The MultiFactorAuthAdSync service is configured to run as LocalSystem by default. Therefore, it is simplest to run the service on a domain controller. The service can run as an account with lesser permissions if you configure it to always perform a full synchronization. This is less efficient, but requires less account privileges.
-
-#### Settings
-
-Configuring the directory synchronization between Active Directory and the Azure MFA server is easy.
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _MFA administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** console.
-2. From the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** window, click the **Directory Integration** icon.
-3. Click the **Synchronization** tab.
-4. Select **Use Active Directory**.
-5. Select **Include trusted domains** to have the Multi-Factor Authentication Server attempt to connect to domains trusted by the current domain, another domain in the forest, or domains involved in a forest trust. When not importing or synchronizing users from any of the trusted domains, clear the check box to improve performance.
-
-#### Synchronization
-
-The MFA server uses synchronization items to synchronize users from Active Directory to the MFA server database. Synchronization items enables you to synchronize a collection of users based security groups or Active Directory containers.
-
-You can configure synchronization items based on different criteria and filters. For the purpose of configuring Windows Hello for Business, you need to create a synchronization item based membership of the Windows Hello for Business user group. This ensures the same users who receive Windows Hello for Business policy settings are the same users synchronized to the MFA server (and are the same users with permission to enroll in the certificate). This significantly simplifies deployment and troubleshooting.
-
-See [Directory integration between Azure MFA Server and Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server-dirint) for more details.
-
-##### To add a synchronization item
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _MFA administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** console.
-2. From the **Multi-Factor Authentication Server** window, click the **Directory Integration** icon.
-3. Select the **Synchronization** tab.
-4. On the **Synchronization** tab, click **Add**.
- 
-
-5. In the **Add Synchronization Item** dialog, select **Security Groups** from the **View** list.
-6. Select the group you are using for replication from the list of groups
-7. Select **Selected Security Groups – Recursive** or, select **Security Group** from the **Import** list if you do not plan to nest groups.
-8. Select **Add new users and Update existing users**.
-9. Select **Disable/Remove users no longer a member** and select **Disable** from the list.
-10. Select the attributes appropriate for your environment for **Import phone** and **Backup**.
-11. Select **Enabled** and select **Only New Users with Phone Number** from the list.
-12. Select **Send email** and select **New and Updated Users**.
-
-##### Configure synchronization item defaults
-
-1. When creating a new or editing a synchronization item from the Multi-Factor Authentication Server, select the **Method Defaults** tab.
-2. Select the default second factor authentication method. For example, if the second factor of authentication is a text message, select **Text message**. Select if the direction of text message authentication and if the authentication should use a one-time password or one-time password and PIN (Ensure users are configured to create a PIN if the default second factor of communication requires a PIN).
-
-##### Configure synchronization language defaults
-
-1. When creating a new or editing a synchronization item from the Multi-Factor Authentication Server, select the **Language Defaults** tab.
-2. Select the appropriate default language for these groups of users synchronized by these synchronization item.
-3. If creating a new synchronization item, click **Add** to save the item. If editing an existing synchronization item, click **Apply** and then click **Close**.
-

->For more information on these settings and the behaviors they control, see [Directory integration between Azure MFA Server and Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server-dirint).
-
-### Installing the MFA Web Services SDK
-
-The Web Service SDK section allows the administrator to install the Multi-Factor Authentication Web Service SDK. The Web Service SDK is an IIS (Internet Information Server) web service that provides an interface for integrating the full features of the Multi-Factor Authentication Server into most any application. The Web Service SDK uses the Multi-Factor Authentication Server as the data store.
-
-Remember the Web Services SDK is only need on the primary Multi-Factor to easily enable other servers access to the configuration information. The prerequisites section guided you through installing and configuring the items needed for the Web Services SDK, however the installer will validate the prerequisites and make suggest any corrective action needed.
-
-Please follow the instructions under [Install the web service SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server-webservice#install-the-web-service-sdk) to install the MFA Web Services SDK.
-
-## Install Secondary MFA Servers
-
-Additional MFA servers provided redundancy of the MFA configuration. The MFA server models uses one primary MFA server with multiple secondary servers. Servers within the same group establish communication with the primary server for that group. The primary server replicates to each of the secondary servers. You can use groups to partition the data stored on different servers, for example you can create a group for each domain, forest, or organizational unit.
-
-Follow the same procedures for installing the primary MFA server software for each additional server. Remember that each server must be activated.
-
-Sign in the secondary MFA server with _domain administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Once the Multi-Factor Authentication Server console starts, you must configure the current server’s replication group membership. You have the option to join an existing group or create a new group. When joining an existing group, the server becomes a secondary server in the existing replication group. When creating a new group, the server becomes the primary server of that replication group. Click **OK**.
- **Note:** Group membership cannot be changed after activation. If a server was joined to the wrong group, it must be activated again to join a different group. Please contact support for assistance with deactivating and reactivating a server.
-2. The console asks you if you want to enable replication by running the **Multi-Server Configuration Wizard**. Click **Yes**.
-3. In the **Multi-Server Configuration Wizard**, leave **Active Directory** selected and clear **Certificates**. Click **Next**.
-4. On the **Active Directory** page, the wizard determines what configuration is needed to enable replication. Typically, the wizard recommends adding the computer account for the current server to the **PhoneFactor Admin** group. Click **Next** to add the computer account to the group.
-5. On the **Multi-Server Configuration Complete** page, click **Finish** to reboot the computer to update its group membership.
-
-### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-* Confirm you downloaded the latest Azure MFA Server from the Azure Portal.
-* Confirm the server has Internet connectivity.
-* Confirm you installed and activated the Azure MFA Server.
-* Confirm your Azure MFA Server configuration meets your organization’s needs (Company Settings, Email Settings, etc).
-* Confirm you created Directory Synchronization items based on your deployment to synchronize users from Active Directory to the Azure MFA server.
- * For example, you have security groups representing each collection of users that represent a phase of your deployment and a corresponding synchronization item for each of those groups.
-
-* Confirm the Azure MFA server properly communicates with the Azure MFA cloud service by testing multifactor authentication with a newly synchronized user account.
-* Confirm you installed the Web Service SDK on the primary MFA server.
-* Confirm your MFA servers have adequate redundancy, should you need to promote a secondary server to the primary server.
-
-
-## Installing the User Portal Server
-
-You previously configured the User Portal settings on the primary MFA server. The User Portal web application communicates to the primary MFA server using the Web Services SDK to retrieve these settings. This configuration is ideal to ensure you can scale up the User Portal application to meet the needs of your internal users.
-
-### Copying the User Portal Installation file
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer.
-2. Browse to the C:\Program Files\MultiFactor Authentication Server folder.
-3. Copy the **MultiFactorAuthenticationUserPortalSetup64.msi** file to a folder on the User Portal server.
-
-### Configure Virtual Directory name
-
-Sign in the User Portal server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to the folder to which you saved the installation file from the previous step.
-2. Run the **MultiFactorAuthenticationUserPortalSetup64.msi**. The installation package asks if you want to download **Visual Studio C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015**. Click **Yes**. When prompted, select **Save As**. The downloaded file is missing its file extension. **Save the file with a .exe extension and install the runtime**.
-3. Run the installation package again. The installer package asks about the C++ runtime again; however, this is for the X64 version (the previous prompt was for x86). Click **Yes** to download the installation package and select **Save As** so you can save the downloaded file with a .exe extension. **Install** the run time.
-4. Run the User Portal installation package. On the **Select Installation Address** page, use the default settings for **Site** and **Application Pool** settings. You can modify the Virtual directory to use a name that is more fitting for the environment, such as **mfa** (This virtual directory must match the virtual directory specified in the User Portal settings). Click **Next**.
-5. Click **Close**.
-
-### Edit MFA User Portal config file
-
-Sign in the User Portal server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MultiFactorAuth (or appropriate directory based on the virtual directory name) and edit the **web.config** file.
-2. Locate the **USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK** key and change the value from **false** to **true**.
-3. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME** key and set the value to the username of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group. Use a qualified username, like domain\username or machine\username.
-4. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD** key and set the value to the password of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group.
-5. Locate the **pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk** setting and change the value from **“** to the URL of the Web Service SDK that is running on the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server (e.g. ). Since SSL is used for this connection, refer to the Web Service SDK by server name, not IP address, since the SSL certificate was issued for the server name. If the server name does not resolve to an IP address from the Internet-facing server, add an entry to the hosts file on that server to map the name of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server to its IP address. Save the **web.config** file after changes have been made.
-
-### Create a DNS entry for the User Portal web site
-
-Sign-in the domain controller or administrative workstation with _Domain Admin_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the **DNS Management** console.
-2. In the navigation pane, expand the domain controller name node and **Forward Lookup Zones**.
-3. In the navigation pane, select the node that has the name of your internal Active Directory domain name.
-4. In the navigation pane, right-click the domain name node and click **New Host (A or AAAA)**.
-5. In the **name** box, type the host name of the User Portal, such as *mfaweb* (this name must match the name of the certificate used to secure communication to the User Portal). In the IP address box, type the load balanced **IP address** of the User Portal. Click **Add Host**.
-6. Close the **DNS Management** console.
-
-### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-* Confirm the user portal application is properly installed on all user portal hosts
-* Confirm the USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK named value has a value equal to true.
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME named value has the username of the web service SDK domain account previously created and that the user name is represented as DOMAIN\USERNAME
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICES_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD named value has the correct password for the web service SDK domain account.
-* Confirm the pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk named value has value that matches the URL of for the SDK service installed on the primary MFA server.
-* Confirm you saved the changes to the web.config file.
-
-### Validating your work
-
-Windows Hello for Business is a distributed system, which on the surface appears complex and difficult. The key to a successful Windows Hello for Business deployment is to validate phases of work prior to moving to the next phase.
-
-Using a web browser, navigate to the URL provided in the *pf_up_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk* named value in the web.config file of any one of the user portal servers. The URL should be protected by a server authentication certificate and should prompt you for authentication. Authenticate to the web site using the username and password provided in the web.config file. Successful authentication and page view confirms the Web SDK configured on the primary MFA server is correctly configured and ready to work with the user portal.
-
-### Configuring the User Portal
-
-The User Portal section allows the administrator to install and configure the Multi-Factor Authentication User Portal. The User Portal is an IIS Internet Information Server web site that allows users to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication and maintain their accounts. A user may change their phone number, change their PIN, or bypass Multi-Factor Authentication during their next sign on. Users will log in to the User Portal using their normal username and password and will either complete a Multi-Factor Authentication call or answer security questions to complete their authentication. If user enrollment is allowed, a user will configure their phone number and PIN the first time they log in to the User Portal.
-User Portal Administrators may be set up and granted permission to add new users and update existing users.
-
-#### Settings
-
-Sign in the primary MFA server with _MFA administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open the Multi-Factor Authentication Server console.
-2. From the Multi-Factor Authentication Server window, click the User Portal icon.
- 
-
-3. On the Settings tab, type the URL your users use to access the User Portal. The URL should begin with https, such as `https://mfaportal.corp.contoso.com/mfa`.

-#### Security Questions
-
-[Security questions](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-portal#security-questions) for the User Portal may be customized to meet your requirements. The questions defined here will be offered as options for each of the four security questions a user is prompted to configure during their first log on to User Portal. The order of the questions is important since the first four items in the list will be used as defaults for the four security questions.
-
-#### Trusted IPs
-
-The [Trusted IPs](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-portal#trusted-ips) tab allows you to skip Multi-Factor Authentication for User Portal log ins originating from specific IPs. For example, if users use the User Portal from the office and from home, you may decide you don't want their phones ringing for Multi-Factor Authentication while at the office. For this, you would specify the office subnet as a trusted IP entry.
-
-## Configure the AD FS Server to use the MFA for multifactor authentication
-
-You need to configure the AD FS server to use the MFA server. You do this by Installing the MFA Adapter on the primary AD FS Server.
-
-### Install the MFA AD FS Adapter
-
-Follow [Install a standalone instance of the AD FS adapter by using the Web Service SDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-adfs-w2k12#install-a-standalone-instance-of-the-ad-fs-adapter-by-using-the-web-service-sdk). You should follow this instructions on all AD FS servers. You can find the files needed on the MFA server.
-
-### Edit the MFA AD FS Adapter config file on all ADFS Servers
-
-Sign in the primary AD FS server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-1. Open Windows Explorer and browse to **C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MultiFactorAuth** (or appropriate directory based on the virtual directory name) and edit the **MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.config** file.
-2. Locate the **USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK** key and change the value from **false** to **true**.
-3. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME** key and set the value to the username of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group. Use a qualified username, like domain\username or machine\username.
-4. Locate the **WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD** key and set the value to the password of the Web Service SDK account in the **PhoneFactor Admins** security group.
-5. Locate the **pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk** setting and change the value from “ to the URL of the Web Service SDK that is running on the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server (e.g. ). Since SSL is used for this connection, refer to the Web Service SDK by server name, not IP address, since the SSL certificate was issued for the server name. If the server name does not resolve to an IP address from the Internet-facing server, add an entry to the hosts file on that server to map the name of the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server to its IP address. Save the **MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.config** file after changes have been made.
-
-### Edit the AD FS Adapter Windows PowerShell cmdlet
-
-Sign in the primary AD FS server with _local administrator_ equivalent credentials.
-
-Edit the **Register-MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.ps1** script adding `-ConfigurationFilePath ` to the end of the `Register-AdfsAuthenticationProvider` command where **\** is the full path to the **MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.config** file.
-
-### Run the AD FS Adapter PowerShell cmdlet
-
-Sign in the primary AD FS server with local administrator equivalent credentials.
-
-Run **Register-MultiFactorAuthenticationAdfsAdapter.ps1** script in PowerShell to register the adapter. The adapter is registered as **WindowsAzureMultiFactorAuthentication**.
-
->[!NOTE]
->You must restart the AD FS service for the registration to take effect.
-
-### Review
-
-Before you continue with the deployment, validate your deployment progress by reviewing the following items:
-* Confirm the user portal application is properly installed on all user portal hosts
-* Confirm the USE_WEB_SERVICE_SDK named value has a value equal to true.
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICE_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_USERNAME named value has the username of the web service SDK domain account previously created and that the user name is represented as DOMAIN\USERNAME
-* Confirm the WEB_SERVICES_SDK_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD named value has the correct password for the web service SDK domain account.
-* Confirm the pfup_pfwssdk_PfWsSdk named value has value that matches the URL of for the SDK service installed on the primary MFA server.
-* Confirm you saved the changes to the web.config file.
-* Confirm you restarted the AD FS Service after completing the configuration.
-
-## Test AD FS with the Multifactor Authentication connector
-
-Now, you should test your Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server configuration before proceeding any further in the deployment. The AD FS and Azure Multi-Factor Authentication server configurations are complete.
-
-1. In the **Multi-Factor Authentication** server, on the left, click **Users**.
-2. In the list of users, select a user that is enabled and has a valid phone number to which you have access.
-3. Click **Test**.
-4. In the **Test User** dialog, provide the user’s password to authenticate the user to Active Directory.
-
-The Multi-Factor Authentication server communicates with the Azure MFA cloud service to perform a second factor authentication for the user. The Azure MFA cloud service contacts the phone number provided and asks for the user to perform the second factor authentication configured for the user. Successfully providing the second factor should result in the Multi-factor authentication server showing a success dialog.

-Windows Hello for Business requires all users perform an additional factor of authentication prior to creating and registering a Windows Hello for Business credential. Windows Hello for Business deployments use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (Azure MFA) services for the secondary authentication. On-Premises deployments use Azure MFA server, an on-premises implementation that do not require synchronizing Active Directory credentials to Azure Active Directory.
+Windows Hello for Business requires all users perform multi-factor authentication prior to creating and registering a Windows Hello for Business credential. On-premises deployments can use certificates, third-party authentication providers for AD FS, or a custom authentication provider for AD FS as an on-premises MFA option.
-Azure Multi-Factor Authentication is an easy to use, scalable, and reliable solution that provides a second method of authentication so your users are always protected.
-* **Easy to Use** - Azure Multi-Factor Authentication is simple to set up and use. The extra protection that comes with Azure Multi-Factor Authentication allows users to manage their own devices. Best of all, in many instances it can be set up with just a few simple clicks.
-* **Scalable** - Azure Multi-Factor Authentication uses the power of the cloud and integrates with your on-premises AD and custom applications. This protection is even extended to your high-volume, mission-critical scenarios.
-* **Always Protected** - Azure Multi-Factor Authentication provides strong authentication using the highest industry standards.
-* **Reliable** - We guarantee 99.9% availability of Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. The service is considered unavailable when it is unable to receive or process verification requests for the two-step verification.
+For information on available third-party authentication methods see [Configure Additional Authentication Methods for AD FS](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-additional-authentication-methods-for-ad-fs). For creating a custom authentication method see [Build a Custom Authentication Method for AD FS in Windows Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/development/ad-fs-build-custom-auth-method)
-## On-Premises Azure MFA Server
-
-On-premises deployments, both key and certificate trust, use the Azure MFA server where the credentials are not synchronized to Azure Active Directory.
-
-### Infrastructure
-
-A lab or proof-of-concept environment does not need high-availability or scalability. However, a production environment needs both of these. Ensure your environment considers and incorporates these factors, as necessary. All production environments should have a minimum of two MFA servers—one primary and one secondary server. The environment should have a minimum of two User Portal Servers that are load balanced using hardware or Windows Network Load Balancing.
-
-Please follow [Download the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server#download-the-azure-multi-factor-authentication-server) to download Azure MFA server.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Make sure to validate the requirements for Azure MFA server, as outlined in [Install and Configure the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/multi-factor-authentication/multi-factor-authentication-get-started-server#install-and-configure-the-azure-multi-factor-authentication-server) before proceeding. Do not use installation instructions provided in the article.
-
-Once you have validated all the requirements, please proceed to [Configure or Deploy Multifactor Authentication Services](hello-key-trust-deploy-mfa.md).
+Follow the integration and deployment guide for the authentication provider you select to integrate and deploy it to AD FS. Make sure that the authentication provider is selected as a multi-factor authentication option in the AD FS authentication policy. For information on configuring AD FS authentication policies see [Configure Authentication Policies](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-authentication-policies).

On May 12, 2017 we detected a new ransomware that spreads like a worm by leveraging vulnerabilities that have been previously fixed. While security updates are automatically applied in most computers, some users and enterprises may delay deployment of patches. Unfortunately, the ransomware, known as [WannaCrypt](https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Ransom:Win32/WannaCrypt), appears to have affected computers that have not applied the patch for these vulnerabilities. While the attack is unfolding, we remind users to install [MS17-010](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms17-010.aspx) if they have not already done so.

-# Prevent security settings changes with tamper protection
+# Protect security settings with Tamper Protection
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10
-Tamper Protection helps prevent malicious apps from changing important security settings. These settings include:
+## Overview
-- Real-time protection
-- Cloud-delivered protection
-- IOfficeAntivirus (IOAV)
-- Behavior monitoring
+During some kinds of cyber attacks, bad actors try to disable security features, such as anti-virus protection, on your machines. They do this to get easier access to your data, to install malware, or to otherwise exploit your data, identity, and devices. Tamper Protection helps prevent this from occurring.
+
+With Tamper Protection, malicious apps are prevented from taking actions like these:
+- Disabling virus and threat protection
+- Disabling real-time protection
+- Turning off behavior monitoring
+- Disabling antivirus (such as IOfficeAntivirus (IOAV))
+- Disabling cloud-delivered protection
- Removing security intelligence updates
-With Tamper Protection set to **On**, you can still change these settings in the Windows Security app. The following apps and methods can't change these settings:
+## How it works
-- Mobile device management (MDM) apps like Intune
-- Enterprise configuration management apps like System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)
-- Command line instruction MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures
-- Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) settings DisableAntiSpyware and DisableAntiMalware (used in Windows unattended setup)
-- Group Policy
-- Other Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) apps
+ Tamper Protection essentially locks Microsoft Defender and prevents your security settings from being changed through apps and methods like these:
+- Configuring settings in Registry Editor on your Windows machine
+- Changing settings through PowerShell cmdlets
+- Editing or removing security settings through group policies
+- and so on.
-The Tamper Protection setting doesn't affect how third party antivirus apps register with the Windows Security app.
+Tamper Protection doesn't prevent you from viewing your security settings. And, Tamper Protection doesn't affect how third-party antivirus apps register with the Windows Security app. If your organization is using Windows 10 Enterprise E5, individual users can't change the Tamper Protection setting; this is managed by your security team.
-On computers running Windows 10 Enterprise E5, users can't change the Tamper Protection setting.
+### What do you want to do?
-Tamper Protection is set to **On** by default. If you set Tamper Protection to **Off**, you will see a yellow warning in the Windows Security app under **Virus & Threat Protection**.
+[Turn Tamper Protection on (or off) for an individual machine](#turn-tamper-protection-on-or-off-for-an-individual-machine)

+
+## Turn Tamper Protection on (or off) for an individual machine
+
+If you are a home user, or you are not subject to settings managed by a security team, you can use the Windows Security app to turn Tamper Protection on or off. You must have appropriate admin permissions on your machine to perform the following task.
+
+1. Click **Start**, and start typing *Defender*. In the search results, select **Windows Security**.
+
+2. Select **Virus & threat protection** > **Virus & threat protection settings**.
-1. Open the Windows Security app by clicking the shield icon in the task bar or searching the start menu for **Defender**.
-2. Select **Virus & threat protection**, then select **Virus & threat protection settings**.
3. Set **Tamper Protection** to **On** or **Off**.
->[!NOTE]
->Tamper Protection blocks attempts to modify Windows Defender Antivirus settings through the registry.
->
->To help ensure that Tamper Protection doesn’t interfere with third-party security products or enterprise installation scripts that modify these settings, go to **Windows Security** and update **Security intelligence** to version 1.287.60.0 or later.
->
->Once you’ve made this update, Tamper Protection will continue to protect your registry settings, and will also log attempts to modify them without returning errors.

## Firewall rule components
-Following table has description for each field.
-
-
-| Property | Type | Description |
-|----------|------|-------------|
-| DisplayName | String | The display name of the rule. Does not need to be unique. |
-| Description | String | The description of the rule. |
-| PackageFamilyName | String | The package family name of a Microsoft Store application that's affected by the firewall rule. |
-| FilePath | String | The full file path of an app that's affected by the firewall rule. |
-| FullyQualifiedBinaryName | String | The fully qualified binary name. |
-| ServiceName | String | The name used in cases when a service, not an application, is sending or receiving traffic. |
-| Protocol | Nullable Integer - default value is null which maps to All | 0-255 number representing the [IP protocol](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IP_protocol_numbers) (TCP = 6, UDP = 17). If not specified, the default is All. |
-| LocalPortRanges | String array | List of local port ranges. For example, "100-120", "200", "300-320". If not specified, the default is All. |
-| RemotePortRanges | String array | List of remote port ranges. For example, "100-120", "200", "300-320". If not specified, the default is All. |
-| LocalAddressRanges | String array | List of local addresses covered by the rule. Valid tokens include: - "\*" indicates any local address. If present, this must be the only token included. - A subnet can be specified using either the subnet mask or network prefix notation. If neither a subnet mask not a network prefix is specified, the subnet mask defaults to 255.255.255.255. - A valid IPv6 address. - An IPv4 address range in the format of "start address - end address" with no spaces included. - An IPv6 address range in the format of "start address - end address" with no spaces included. Default is any address. |
-| RemoteAddressRanges | String array | List of tokens specifying the remote addresses covered by the rule.Tokens are case insensitive. Valid tokens include: - "\*" indicates any remote address. If present, this must be the only token included. - "Defaultgateway" - "DHCP" - "DNS" - "WINS" - "Intranet" - "RmtIntranet" - "Internet" - "Ply2Renders" - "LocalSubnet" indicates any local address on the local subnet. This token is not case-sensitive. - A subnet can be specified using either the subnet mask or network prefix notation. If neither a subnet mask not a network prefix is specified, the subnet mask defaults to 255.255.255.255. - A valid IPv6 address. - An IPv4 address range in the format of "start address - end address" with no spaces included. - An IPv6 address range in the format of "start address - end address" with no spaces included.

-| ProfileTypes | WindowsFirewallNetworkProfileTypes | Specifies the profiles to which the rule belongs. If not specified, the default is All. |
-| Action| StateManagementSetting | The action the rule enforces. If not specified, the default is Allowed. |
-| TrafficDirection | WindowsFirewallRuleTrafficDirectionType | The traffic direction that the rule is enabled for. If not specified, the default is Out. |
-| InterfaceTypes | WindowsFirewallRuleInterfaceTypes | The interface types of the rule. |
-| EdgeTraversal | StateManagementSetting | Indicates whether edge traversal is enabled or disabled for this rule. The EdgeTraversal setting indicates that specific inbound traffic is allowed to tunnel through NATs and other edge devices using the Teredo tunneling technology. In order for this setting to work correctly, the application or service with the inbound firewall rule needs to support IPv6. The primary application of this setting allows listeners on the host to be globally addressable through a Teredo IPv6 address. New rules have the EdgeTraversal property disabled by default. |
-| LocalUserAuthorizations | String | Specifies the list of authorized local users for the app container. This is a string in Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) format. |

-# What's new in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
-
-This article lists new and updated features and content that are of interest to IT Pros for Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, compared to Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC (LTSB). For a brief description of the LTSC servicing channel and associated support, see [Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC](index.md).
-
->[!NOTE]
->Features in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC are equivalent to Windows 10, version 1809.
-
-Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 builds on Windows 10 Pro, version 1809 adding premium features designed to address the needs of large and mid-size organizations (including large academic institutions), such as:
- - Advanced protection against modern security threats
- - Full flexibility of OS deployment
- - Updating and support options
- - Comprehensive device and app management and control capabilities
-
-The Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 release is an important release for LTSC users because it includes the cumulative enhancements provided in Windows 10 versions 1703, 1709, 1803, and 1809. Details about these enhancements are provided below.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->The LTSC release is [intended for special use devices](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/LTSC-What-is-it-and-when-should-it-be-used/ba-p/293181). Support for LTSC by apps and tools that are designed for the semi-annual channel release of Windows 10 might be limited.
-
-## Microsoft Intune
-
->Microsoft Intune supports Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and later. This includes support for features such as [Windows Autopilot](#windows-autopilot). However, note that Windows Update for Business (WUfB) does not currently support any LTSC releases, therefore you should use WSUS or Configuration Manager for patching.
-
-## Security
-
-This version of Window 10 includes security improvements for threat protection, information protection, and identity protection.
-
-### Threat protection
-
-#### Windows Defender ATP
-
-The Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection ([Windows Defender ATP](/windows/security/threat-protection/index)) platform inludes the security pillars shown in the following diagram. In this version of Windows, Windows Defender ATP includes powerful analytics, security stack integration, and centralized management for better detection, prevention, investigation, response, and management.
-
-
-
-##### Attack surface reduction
-
-Attack surface reduction includes host-based intrusion prevention systems such as [controlled folder access](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/enable-controlled-folders-exploit-guard).
- - This feature can help prevent ransomware and other destructive malware from changing your personal files. In some cases, apps that you normally use might be blocked from making changes to common folders like **Documents** and **Pictures**. We’ve made it easier for you to add apps that were recently blocked so you can keep using your device without turning off the feature altogether.
- - When an app is blocked, it will appear in a recently blocked apps list, which you can get to by clicking **Manage settings** under the **Ransomware protection** heading. Click **Allow an app through Controlled folder access**. After the prompt, click the **+** button and choose **Recently blocked apps**. Select any of the apps to add them to the allowed list. You can also browse for an app from this page.
-
-###### Windows Defender Firewall
-
-Windows Defender Firewall now supports Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) processes. You can add specific rules for a WSL process just as you would for any Windows process. Also, Windows Defender Firewall now supports notifications for WSL processes. For example, when a Linux tool wants to allow access to a port from the outside (like SSH or a web server like nginx), Windows Defender Firewall will prompt to allow access just like it would for a Windows process when the port starts accepting connections. This was first introduced in [Build 17627](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/release-notes#build-17618-skip-ahead).
-
-##### Windows Defender Device Guard
-
-[Device Guard](/windows/security/threat-protection/device-guard/introduction-to-device-guard-virtualization-based-security-and-windows-defender-application-control) has always been a collection of technologies that can be combined to lock down a PC, including:
-- Software-based protection provided by code integrity policies
-- Hardware-based protection provided by Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI)
-
-But these protections can also be configured separately. And, unlike HVCI, code integrity policies do not require virtualization-based security (VBS). To help underscore the distinct value of these protections, code integrity policies have been rebranded as [Windows Defender Application Control](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/windows-defender-application-control).
-
-### Next-gen protection
-
-#### Office 365 Ransomware Detection
-
-For Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal subscribers, Ransomware Detection notifies you when your OneDrive files have been attacked and guides you through the process of restoring your files. For more information, see [Ransomware detection and recovering your files](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/ransomware-detection-and-recovering-your-files-0d90ec50-6bfd-40f4-acc7-b8c12c73637f?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US)
-
-### Endpoint detection and response
-
-Endpoint detection and response is improved. Enterprise customers can now take advantage of the entire Windows security stack with Windows Defender Antivirus **detections** and Device Guard **blocks** being surfaced in the Windows Defender ATP portal.
-
- Windows Defender is now called Windows Defender Antivirus and now shares detection status between M365 services and interoperates with Windows Defender ATP. Additional policies have also been implemented to enhance cloud based protection, and new channels are available for emergency protection. For more information, see [Virus and threat protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-security-center/wdsc-virus-threat-protection) and [Use next-gen technologies in Windows Defender Antivirus through cloud-delivered protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/utilize-microsoft-cloud-protection-windows-defender-antivirus).
-
- We've also [increased the breadth of the documentation library for enterprise security admins](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10). The new library includes information on:
-- [Deploying and enabling AV protection](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/deploy-windows-defender-antivirus)
-- [Managing updates](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/manage-updates-baselines-windows-defender-antivirus)
-- [Reporting](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/report-monitor-windows-defender-antivirus)
-- [Configuring features](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/configure-windows-defender-antivirus-features)
-- [Troubleshooting](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/troubleshoot-windows-defender-antivirus)
-
- Some of the highlights of the new library include [Evaluation guide for Windows Defender AV](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus//evaluate-windows-defender-antivirus) and [Deployment guide for Windows Defender AV in a virtual desktop infrastructure environment](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/deployment-vdi-windows-defender-antivirus).
-
- New features for Windows Defender AV in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC include:
-- [Updates to how the Block at First Sight feature can be configured](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/configure-block-at-first-sight-windows-defender-antivirus)
-- [The ability to specify the level of cloud-protection](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/specify-cloud-protection-level-windows-defender-antivirus)
-- [Windows Defender Antivirus protection in the Windows Defender Security Center app](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-security-center-antivirus)
-
- We've [invested heavily in helping to protect against ransomware](https://blogs.windows.com/business/2016/11/11/defending-against-ransomware-with-windows-10-anniversary-update/#UJlHc6SZ2Zm44jCt.97), and we continue that investment with [updated behavior monitoring and always-on real-time protection](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/configure-real-time-protection-windows-defender-antivirus).
-
- **Endpoint detection and response** is also enhanced. New **detection** capabilities include:
-- [Use the threat intelligence API to create custom alerts](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-atp/use-custom-ti-windows-defender-advanced-threat-protection) - Understand threat intelligence concepts, enable the threat intel application, and create custom threat intelligence alerts for your organization.
- - [Custom detection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-atp/overview-custom-detections). With custom detections, you can create custom queries to monitor events for any kind of behavior such as suspicious or emerging threats. This can be done by leveraging the power of Advanced hunting through the creation of custom detection rules.
- - Improvements on OS memory and kernel sensors to enable detection of attackers who are using in-memory and kernel-level attacks.
- - Upgraded detections of ransomware and other advanced attacks.
- - Historical detection capability ensures new detection rules apply to up to six months of stored data to detect previous attacks that might not have been noticed.
-

-
-### Information protection
-
-Improvements have been added to Windows Information Protection and BitLocker.
-
-#### Windows Information Protection
-
-Windows Information Protection is now designed to work with Microsoft Office and Azure Information Protection. For more information, see [Deploying and managing Windows Information Protection (WIP) with Azure Information Protection](https://myignite.microsoft.com/sessions/53660?source=sessions).
-
-Microsoft Intune helps you create and deploy your Windows Information Protection (WIP) policy, including letting you choose your allowed apps, your WIP-protection level, and how to find enterprise data on the network. For more info, see [Create a Windows Information Protection (WIP) policy using Microsoft Intune](/windows/threat-protection/windows-information-protection/create-wip-policy-using-intune) and [Associate and deploy your Windows Information Protection (WIP) and VPN policies by using Microsoft Intune](/windows/threat-protection/windows-information-protection/create-vpn-and-wip-policy-using-intune).
-
-You can also now collect your audit event logs by using the Reporting configuration service provider (CSP) or the Windows Event Forwarding (for Windows desktop domain-joined devices). For info, see the brand-new topic, [How to collect Windows Information Protection (WIP) audit event logs](/windows/threat-protection/windows-information-protection/collect-wip-audit-event-logs).
-
-This release enables support for WIP with Files on Demand, allows file encryption while the file is open in another app, and improves performance. For more information, see [OneDrive Files On-Demand For The Enterprise](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneDrive-Blog/OneDrive-Files-On-Demand-For-The-Enterprise/ba-p/117234).
-
-### BitLocker
-
-The minimum PIN length is being changed from 6 to 4, with a default of 6. For more information, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/bitlocker/bitlocker-group-policy-settings#bkmk-unlockpol3).
-
-#### Silent enforcement on fixed drives
-
-Through a Modern Device Management (MDM) policy, BitLocker can be enabled silently for standard Azure Active Directory (AAD) joined users. In Windows 10, version 1803 automatic BitLocker encryption was enabled for standard AAD users, but this still required modern hardware that passed the Hardware Security Test Interface (HSTI). This new functionality enables BitLocker via policy even on devices that don’t pass the HSTI.
-
-This is an update to the [BitLocker CSP](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp), which was introduced in Windows 10, version 1703, and leveraged by Intune and others.
-
-This feature will soon be enabled on Olympia Corp as an optional feature.
-
-#### Delivering BitLocker policy to AutoPilot devices during OOBE
-
-You can choose which encryption algorithm to apply to BitLocker encryption capable devices, rather than automatically having those devices encrypt themselves with the default algorithm. This allows the encryption algorithm (and other BitLocker policies that must be applied prior to encryption), to be delivered before BitLocker encryption begins.
-
-For example, you can choose the XTS-AES 256 encryption algorithm, and have it applied to devices that would normally encrypt themselves automatically with the default XTS-AES 128 algorithm during OOBE.
-
-To achieve this:
-
-1. Configure the [encryption method settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/endpoint-protection-windows-10#windows-encryption) in the Windows 10 Endpoint Protection profile to the desired encryption algorithm.
-2. [Assign the policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/device-profile-assign) to your Autopilot device group.
- - **IMPORTANT**: The encryption policy must be assigned to **devices** in the group, not users.
-3. Enable the Autopilot [Enrollment Status Page](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/enrollment-status) (ESP) for these devices.
- - **IMPORTANT**: If the ESP is not enabled, the policy will not apply before encryption starts.
-
-### Identity protection
-
-Improvements have been added are to Windows Hello for Business and Credential Guard.
-
-#### Windows Hello for Business
-
-New features in Windows Hello enable a better device lock experience, using multifactor unlock with new location and user proximity signals. Using Bluetooth signals, you can configure your Windows 10 device to automatically lock when you walk away from it, or to prevent others from accessing the device when you are not present.
-
-New features in [Windows Hello for Business](/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-identity-verification.md) inlcude:
-- You can now reset a forgotten PIN without deleting company managed data or apps on devices managed by [Microsoft Intune](https://www.microsoft.com/cloud-platform/microsoft-intune).
-- For Windows Phone devices, an administrator is able to initiate a remote PIN reset through the Intune portal.
-- For Windows desktops, users are able to reset a forgotten PIN through **Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options**. For more details, check out [What if I forget my PIN?](/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-features#pin-reset).
-
-[Windows Hello](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-features) now supports FIDO 2.0 authentication for Azure AD Joined Windows 10 devices and has enhanced support for shared devices, as described in the [Kiosk configuration](#kiosk-configuration) section.
-- Windows Hello is now [password-less on S-mode](https://www.windowslatest.com/2018/02/12/microsoft-make-windows-10-password-less-platform/).
-- Support for S/MIME with Windows Hello for Business and APIs for non-Microsoft identity lifecycle management solutions.
-- Windows Hello is part of the account protection pillar in Windows Defender Security Center. Account Protection will encourage password users to set up Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint or PIN for faster sign in, and will notify Dynamic lock users if Dynamic lock has stopped working because their phone or device Bluetooth is off.
-- You can set up Windows Hello from lock screen for MSA accounts. We’ve made it easier for Microsoft account users to set up Windows Hello on their devices for faster and more secure sign-in. Previously, you had to navigate deep into Settings to find Windows Hello. Now, you can set up Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint or PIN straight from your lock screen by clicking the Windows Hello tile under Sign-in options.
-- New [public API](https://docs.microsoft.com/uwp/api/windows.security.authentication.web.core.webauthenticationcoremanager.findallaccountsasync#Windows_Security_Authentication_Web_Core_WebAuthenticationCoreManager_FindAllAccountsAsync_Windows_Security_Credentials_WebAccountProvider_) for secondary account SSO for a particular identity provider.
-- It is easier to set up Dynamic lock, and WD SC actionable alerts have been added when Dynamic lock stops working (ex: phone Bluetooth is off).
-
-For more information, see: [Windows Hello and FIDO2 Security Keys enable secure and easy authentication for shared devices](https://blogs.windows.com/business/2018/04/17/windows-hello-fido2-security-keys/#OdKBg3pwJQcEKCbJ.97)
-
-#### Windows Defender Credential Guard
-
-Windows Defender Credential Guard is a security service in Windows 10 built to protect Active Directory (AD) domain credentials so that they can't be stolen or misused by malware on a user's machine. It is designed to protect against well-known threats such as Pass-the-Hash and credential harvesting.
-
-Windows Defender Credential Guard has always been an optional feature, but Windows 10 in S mode turns this functionality on by default when the machine has been Azure Active Directory joined. This provides an added level of security when connecting to domain resources not normally present on devices running Windows 10 in S mode. Please note that Windows Defender Credential Guard is available only to S mode devices or Enterprise and Education Editions.
-
-For more information, see [Credential Guard Security Considerations](/windows/access-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-requirements#security-considerations).
-
-### Other security improvments
-
-#### Windows security baselines
-
-Microsoft has released new [Windows security baselines](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/windows-security-baselines) for Windows Server and Windows 10. A security baseline is a group of Microsoft-recommended configuration settings with an explanation of their security impact. For more information, and to download the Policy Analyzer tool, see [Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/security-compliance-toolkit-10).

-
-#### SMBLoris vulnerability
-
-An issue, known as “SMBLoris�?, which could result in denial of service, has been addressed.
-
-#### Windows Security Center
-
-Windows Defender Security Center is now called **Windows Security Center**.
-
-You can still get to the app in all the usual ways – simply ask Cortana to open Windows Security Center(WSC) or interact with the taskbar icon. WSC lets you manage all your security needs, including **Windows Defender Antivirus** and **Windows Defender Firewall**.
-
-The WSC service now requires antivirus products to run as a protected process to register. Products that have not yet implemented this will not appear in the Windows Security Center user interface, and Windows Defender Antivirus will remain enabled side-by-side with these products.
-
-WSC now includes the Fluent Design System elements you know and love. You’ll also notice we’ve adjusted the spacing and padding around the app. It will now dynamically size the categories on the main page if more room is needed for extra info. We also updated the title bar so that it will use your accent color if you have enabled that option in **Color Settings**.
-
-
-
-#### Group Policy Security Options
-
-The security setting [**Interactive logon: Display user information when the session is locked**](/windows/device-security/security-policy-settings/interactive-logon-display-user-information-when-the-session-is-locked) has been updated to work in conjunction with the **Privacy** setting in **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Sign-in options**.
-
-A new security policy setting
-[**Interactive logon: Don't display username at sign-in**](/windows/device-security/security-policy-settings/interactive-logon-dont-display-username-at-sign-in) has been introduced in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC. This security policy setting determines whether the username is displayed during sign in. It works in conjunction with the **Privacy** setting in **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Sign-in options**. The setting only affects the **Other user** tile.
-
-#### Windows 10 in S mode
-
-We’ve continued to work on the **Current threats** area in [Virus & threat protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-security-center/wdsc-virus-threat-protection), which now displays all threats that need action. You can quickly take action on threats from this screen:

-## Deployment
-
-### Windows Autopilot
-
-[Windows Autopilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-autopilot) is a deployment tool introduced with Windows 10, version 1709 and is also available for Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC (and later versions). Windows Autopilot provides a modern device lifecycle management service powered by the cloud to deliver a zero touch experience for deploying Windows 10.
-
-Windows Autopilot is currently available with Surface, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Other OEM partners such as Panasonic, and Acer will support Autopilot soon. Check the [Windows IT Pro Blog](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog) or this article for updated information.
-
-Using Intune, Autopilot now enables locking the device during provisioning during the Windows Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) until policies and settings for the device get provisioned, thereby ensuring that by the time the user gets to the desktop, the device is secured and configured correctly.
-
-You can also apply an Autopilot deployment profile to your devices using Microsoft Store for Business. When people in your organization run the out-of-box experience on the device, the profile configures Windows based on the Autopilot deployment profile you applied to the device. For more information, see [Manage Windows device deployment with Windows Autopilot Deployment](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-store/add-profile-to-devices).
-
-#### Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode
-
-Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode enables a zero touch device provisioning experience. Simply power on the device, plug it into the Ethernet, and the device is fully configured automatically by Windows Autopilot.
-
-This self-deploying capability removes the current need to have an end user interact by pressing the “Next” button during the deployment process.
-
-You can utilize Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode to register the device to an AAD tenant, enroll in your organization’s MDM provider, and provision policies and applications, all with no user authentication or user interaction required.

A custom login screen is available from the lock screen that enables you to apply original settings and management enrollment (Azure Active Directory and device management) so that devices are returned to a fully configured, known, IT-approved state and ready to use. For more information, see [Reset devices with Autopilot Reset](https://docs.microsoft.com/education/windows/autopilot-reset).
-
-### MBR2GPT.EXE
-
-MBR2GPT.EXE is a new command-line tool introduced with Windows 10, version 1703 and also available in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC (and later versions). MBR2GPT converts a disk from Master Boot Record (MBR) to GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style without modifying or deleting data on the disk. The tool is designed to be run from a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) command prompt, but can also be run from the full Windows 10 operating system (OS).
-
-The GPT partition format is newer and enables the use of larger and more disk partitions. It also provides added data reliability, supports additional partition types, and enables faster boot and shutdown speeds. If you convert the system disk on a computer from MBR to GPT, you must also configure the computer to boot in UEFI mode, so make sure that your device supports UEFI before attempting to convert the system disk.
-
-Additional security features of Windows 10 that are enabled when you boot in UEFI mode include: Secure Boot, Early Launch Anti-malware (ELAM) driver, Windows Trusted Boot, Measured Boot, Device Guard, Credential Guard, and BitLocker Network Unlock.
-
-For details, see [MBR2GPT.EXE](/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt).

-
-### OS uninstall period
-
-The OS uninstall period is a length of time that users are given when they can optionally roll back a Windows 10 update. With this release, administrators can use Intune or [DISM](#dism) to customize the length of the OS uninstall period.
-
-### Azure Active Directory join in bulk
-
-Using the new wizards in Windows Configuration Designer, you can [create provisioning packages to enroll devices in Azure Active Directory](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-packages#configuration-designer-wizards). Azure AD join in bulk is available in the desktop, mobile, kiosk, and Surface Hub wizards.

-
-To check out all the details, see [Configure Delivery Optimization for Windows 10 updates](/windows/deployment/update/waas-delivery-optimization)
-
-### Uninstalled in-box apps no longer automatically reinstall
-
-Starting with Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, in-box apps that were uninstalled by the user won't automatically reinstall as part of the feature update installation process.
-
-Additionally, apps de-provisioned by admins on Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC machines will stay de-provisioned after future feature update installations. This will not apply to the update from Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC (or earlier) to Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC.
-
-## Management
-
-### New MDM capabilities
-
-Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC adds many new [configuration service providers (CSPs)](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/how-it-pros-can-use-configuration-service-providers) that provide new capabilities for managing Windows 10 devices using MDM or provisioning packages. Among other things, these CSPs enable you to configure a few hundred of the most useful Group Policy settings via MDM - see [Policy CSP - ADMX-backed policies](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-admx-backed).
-
-Some of the other new CSPs are:
-
-- The [DynamicManagement CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/dynamicmanagement-csp) allows you to manage devices differently depending on location, network, or time. For example, managed devices can have cameras disabled when at a work location, the cellular service can be disabled when outside the country to avoid roaming charges, or the wireless network can be disabled when the device is not within the corporate building or campus. Once configured, these settings will be enforced even if the device can’t reach the management server when the location or network changes. The Dynamic Management CSP enables configuration of policies that change how the device is managed in addition to setting the conditions on which the change occurs.
-
-- The [CleanPC CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/cleanpc-csp) allows removal of user-installed and pre-installed applications, with the option to persist user data.
-
-- The [BitLocker CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/bitlocker-csp) is used to manage encryption of PCs and devices. For example, you can require storage card encryption on mobile devices, or require encryption for operating system drives.
-
-- The [NetworkProxy CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/networkproxy-csp) is used to configure a proxy server for ethernet and Wi-Fi connections.
-
-- The [Office CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/office-csp) enables a Microsoft Office client to be installed on a device via the Office Deployment Tool. For more information, see [Configuration options for the Office Deployment Tool](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219426.aspx).
-
-- The [EnterpriseAppVManagement CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/enterpriseappvmanagement-csp) is used to manage virtual applications in Windows 10 PCs (Enterprise and Education editions) and enables App-V sequenced apps to be streamed to PCs even when managed by MDM.
-
-IT pros can use the new [MDM Migration Analysis Tool (MMAT)](https://aka.ms/mmat) to determine which Group Policy settings have been configured for a user or computer and cross-reference those settings against a built-in list of supported MDM policies. MMAT can generate both XML and HTML reports indicating the level of support for each Group Policy setting and MDM equivalents.
-
-[Learn more about new MDM capabilities.](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/new-in-windows-mdm-enrollment-management#whatsnew10)
-
-MDM has been expanded to include domain joined devices with Azure Active Directory registration. Group Policy can be used with Active Directory joined devices to trigger auto-enrollment to MDM. For more information, see [Enroll a Windows 10 device automatically using Group Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/enroll-a-windows-10-device-automatically-using-group-policy).
-
-Multiple new configuration items are also added. For more information, see [What's new in MDM enrollment and management](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/new-in-windows-mdm-enrollment-management#whatsnew1709).
-
-### Mobile application management support for Windows 10
-
-The Windows version of mobile application management (MAM) is a lightweight solution for managing company data access and security on personal devices. MAM support is built into Windows on top of Windows Information Protection (WIP), starting in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC.
-
-For more info, see [Implement server-side support for mobile application management on Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/implement-server-side-mobile-application-management).
-
-### MDM diagnostics
-
-In Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, we continue our work to improve the diagnostic experience for modern management. By introducing auto-logging for mobile devices, Windows will automatically collect logs when encountering an error in MDM, eliminating the need to have always-on logging for memory-constrained devices. Additionally, we are introducing [Microsoft Message Analyzer](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=44226) as an additional tool to help Support personnel quickly reduce issues to their root cause, while saving time and cost.
-
-### Application Virtualization for Windows (App-V)
-
-Previous versions of the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer) have required you to manually create your sequencing environment. Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC introduces two new PowerShell cmdlets, New-AppVSequencerVM and Connect-AppvSequencerVM, which automatically create your sequencing environment for you, including provisioning your virtual machine. Additionally, the App-V Sequencer has been updated to let you sequence or update multiple apps at the same time, while automatically capturing and storing your customizations as an App-V project template (.appvt) file, and letting you use PowerShell or Group Policy settings to automatically cleanup your unpublished packages after a device restart.
-
-For more info, see the following topics:
-- [Automatically provision your sequencing environment using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](/windows/application-management/app-v/appv-auto-provision-a-vm)

-### Mixed Reality Apps
-
-This version of Windows 10 introduces [Windows Mixed Reality](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/10/03/the-era-of-windows-mixed-reality-begins-october-17/). Organizations that use WSUS must take action to enable Windows Mixed Reality. You can also prohibit use of Windows Mixed Reality by blocking installation of the Mixed Reality Portal. For more information, see [Enable or block Windows Mixed Reality apps in the enterprise](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/application-management/manage-windows-mixed-reality).
-
-## Networking
-
-### Network stack
-
-Several network stack enhancements are available in this release. Some of these features were also available in Windows 10, version 1703. For more information, see [Core Network Stack Features in the Creators Update for Windows 10](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/networking/2017/07/13/core-network-stack-features-in-the-creators-update-for-windows-10/).
-
-### Miracast over Infrastructure
-
-In this version of Windows 10, Microsoft has extended the ability to send a Miracast stream over a local network rather than over a direct wireless link. This functionality is based on the [Miracast over Infrastructure Connection Establishment Protocol (MS-MICE)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt796768.aspx).
-
-How it works:
-
-Users attempt to connect to a Miracast receiver as they did previously. When the list of Miracast receivers is populated, Windows 10 will identify that the receiver is capable of supporting a connection over the infrastructure. When the user selects a Miracast receiver, Windows 10 will attempt to resolve the device's hostname via standard DNS, as well as via multicast DNS (mDNS). If the name is not resolvable via either DNS method, Windows 10 will fall back to establishing the Miracast session using the standard Wi-Fi direct connection.
-
-Miracast over Infrastructure offers a number of benefits:
-
-- Windows automatically detects when sending the video stream over this path is applicable.
-- Windows will only choose this route if the connection is over Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi network.
-- Users do not have to change how they connect to a Miracast receiver. They use the same UX as for standard Miracast connections.
-- No changes to current wireless drivers or PC hardware are required.
-- It works well with older wireless hardware that is not optimized for Miracast over Wi-Fi Direct.
-- It leverages an existing connection which both reduces the time to connect and provides a very stable stream.
-
-Enabling Miracast over Infrastructure:
-
-If you have a device that has been updated to Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, then you automatically have this new feature. To take advantage of it in your environment, you need to ensure the following is true within your deployment:
-
-- The device (PC, phone, or Surface Hub) needs to be running Windows 10, version 1703, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, or a later OS.
-- A Windows PC or Surface Hub can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *receiver*. A Windows PC or phone can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *source*.
- - As a Miracast receiver, the PC or Surface Hub must be connected to your enterprise network via either Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection (e.g. using either WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise security). If the Hub is connected to an open Wi-Fi connection, Miracast over Infrastructure will disable itself.
- - As a Miracast source, the PC or phone must be connected to the same enterprise network via Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection.
-- The DNS Hostname (device name) of the device needs to be resolvable via your DNS servers. You can achieve this by either allowing your device to register automatically via Dynamic DNS, or by manually creating an A or AAAA record for the device's hostname.
-- Windows 10 PCs must be connected to the same enterprise network via Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection.
-
-It is important to note that Miracast over Infrastructure is not a replacement for standard Miracast. Instead, the functionality is complementary, and provides an advantage to users who are part of the enterprise network. Users who are guests to a particular location and don’t have access to the enterprise network will continue to connect using the Wi-Fi Direct connection method.
-
-## Registry editor improvements
-
-We added a dropdown that displays as you type to help complete the next part of the path. You can also press **Ctrl + Backspace** to delete the last word, and **Ctrl + Delete** to delete the next word.
-
-
-
-## Remote Desktop with Biometrics
-
-Azure Active Directory and Active Directory users using Windows Hello for Business can use biometrics to authenticate to a remote desktop session.
-
-To get started, sign into your device using Windows Hello for Business. Bring up **Remote Desktop Connection** (mstsc.exe), type the name of the computer you want to connect to, and click **Connect**.
-
-- Windows remembers that you signed using Windows Hello for Business, and automatically selects Windows Hello for Business to authenticate you to your RDP session. You can also click **More choices** to choose alternate credentials.
-- Windows uses facial recognition to authenticate the RDP session to the Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V server. You can continue to use Windows Hello for Business in the remote session, but you must use your PIN.

+# What's new in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
+
+This article lists new and updated features and content that are of interest to IT Pros for Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, compared to Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC (LTSB). For a brief description of the LTSC servicing channel and associated support, see [Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC](index.md).
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>Features in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC are equivalent to Windows 10, version 1809.
+
+Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 builds on Windows 10 Pro, version 1809 adding premium features designed to address the needs of large and mid-size organizations (including large academic institutions), such as:
+- Advanced protection against modern security threats
+- Full flexibility of OS deployment
+- Updating and support options
+- Comprehensive device and app management and control capabilities
+
+The Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 release is an important release for LTSC users because it includes the cumulative enhancements provided in Windows 10 versions 1703, 1709, 1803, and 1809. Details about these enhancements are provided below.
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>The LTSC release is [intended for special use devices](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/LTSC-What-is-it-and-when-should-it-be-used/ba-p/293181). Support for LTSC by apps and tools that are designed for the semi-annual channel release of Windows 10 might be limited.
+
+## Microsoft Intune
+
+>Microsoft Intune supports Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and later. This includes support for features such as [Windows Autopilot](#windows-autopilot). However, note that Windows Update for Business (WUfB) does not currently support any LTSC releases, therefore you should use WSUS or Configuration Manager for patching.
+
+## Security
+
+This version of Window 10 includes security improvements for threat protection, information protection, and identity protection.
+
+### Threat protection
+
+#### Windows Defender ATP
+
+The Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection ([Windows Defender ATP](/windows/security/threat-protection/index)) platform inludes the security pillars shown in the following diagram. In this version of Windows, Windows Defender ATP includes powerful analytics, security stack integration, and centralized management for better detection, prevention, investigation, response, and management.
+
+
+
+##### Attack surface reduction
+
+Attack surface reduction includes host-based intrusion prevention systems such as [controlled folder access](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/enable-controlled-folders-exploit-guard).
+ - This feature can help prevent ransomware and other destructive malware from changing your personal files. In some cases, apps that you normally use might be blocked from making changes to common folders like **Documents** and **Pictures**. We’ve made it easier for you to add apps that were recently blocked so you can keep using your device without turning off the feature altogether.
+ - When an app is blocked, it will appear in a recently blocked apps list, which you can get to by clicking **Manage settings** under the **Ransomware protection** heading. Click **Allow an app through Controlled folder access**. After the prompt, click the **+** button and choose **Recently blocked apps**. Select any of the apps to add them to the allowed list. You can also browse for an app from this page.
+
+###### Windows Defender Firewall
+
+Windows Defender Firewall now supports Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) processes. You can add specific rules for a WSL process just as you would for any Windows process. Also, Windows Defender Firewall now supports notifications for WSL processes. For example, when a Linux tool wants to allow access to a port from the outside (like SSH or a web server like nginx), Windows Defender Firewall will prompt to allow access just like it would for a Windows process when the port starts accepting connections. This was first introduced in [Build 17627](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/release-notes#build-17618-skip-ahead).
+
+##### Windows Defender Device Guard
+
+[Device Guard](/windows/security/threat-protection/device-guard/introduction-to-device-guard-virtualization-based-security-and-windows-defender-application-control) has always been a collection of technologies that can be combined to lock down a PC, including:
+- Software-based protection provided by code integrity policies
+- Hardware-based protection provided by Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI)
+
+But these protections can also be configured separately. And, unlike HVCI, code integrity policies do not require virtualization-based security (VBS). To help underscore the distinct value of these protections, code integrity policies have been rebranded as [Windows Defender Application Control](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/windows-defender-application-control).
+
+### Next-gen protection
+
+#### Office 365 Ransomware Detection
+
+For Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal subscribers, Ransomware Detection notifies you when your OneDrive files have been attacked and guides you through the process of restoring your files. For more information, see [Ransomware detection and recovering your files](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/ransomware-detection-and-recovering-your-files-0d90ec50-6bfd-40f4-acc7-b8c12c73637f?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US)
+
+### Endpoint detection and response
+
+Endpoint detection and response is improved. Enterprise customers can now take advantage of the entire Windows security stack with Windows Defender Antivirus **detections** and Device Guard **blocks** being surfaced in the Windows Defender ATP portal.
+
+ Windows Defender is now called Windows Defender Antivirus and now shares detection status between M365 services and interoperates with Windows Defender ATP. Additional policies have also been implemented to enhance cloud based protection, and new channels are available for emergency protection.

+
+### Information protection
+
+Improvements have been added to Windows Information Protection and BitLocker.
+
+#### Windows Information Protection
+
+Windows Information Protection is now designed to work with Microsoft Office and Azure Information Protection. For more information, see [Deploying and managing Windows Information Protection (WIP) with Azure Information Protection](https://myignite.microsoft.com/sessions/53660?source=sessions).
+
+Microsoft Intune helps you create and deploy your Windows Information Protection (WIP) policy, including letting you choose your allowed apps, your WIP-protection level, and how to find enterprise data on the network. For more info, see [Create a Windows Information Protection (WIP) policy using Microsoft Intune](/windows/threat-protection/windows-information-protection/create-wip-policy-using-intune) and [Associate and deploy your Windows Information Protection (WIP) and VPN policies by using Microsoft Intune](/windows/threat-protection/windows-information-protection/create-vpn-and-wip-policy-using-intune).
+
+You can also now collect your audit event logs by using the Reporting configuration service provider (CSP) or the Windows Event Forwarding (for Windows desktop domain-joined devices). For info, see the brand-new topic, [How to collect Windows Information Protection (WIP) audit event logs](/windows/threat-protection/windows-information-protection/collect-wip-audit-event-logs).
+
+This release enables support for WIP with Files on Demand, allows file encryption while the file is open in another app, and improves performance. For more information, see [OneDrive Files On-Demand For The Enterprise](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneDrive-Blog/OneDrive-Files-On-Demand-For-The-Enterprise/ba-p/117234).
+
+### BitLocker
+
+The minimum PIN length is being changed from 6 to 4, with a default of 6. For more information, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/bitlocker/bitlocker-group-policy-settings#bkmk-unlockpol3).
+
+#### Silent enforcement on fixed drives
+
+Through a Modern Device Management (MDM) policy, BitLocker can be enabled silently for standard Azure Active Directory (AAD) joined users. In Windows 10, version 1803 automatic BitLocker encryption was enabled for standard AAD users, but this still required modern hardware that passed the Hardware Security Test Interface (HSTI). This new functionality enables BitLocker via policy even on devices that don’t pass the HSTI.
+
+This is an update to the [BitLocker CSP](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp), which was introduced in Windows 10, version 1703, and leveraged by Intune and others.
+
+This feature will soon be enabled on Olympia Corp as an optional feature.
+
+#### Delivering BitLocker policy to AutoPilot devices during OOBE
+
+You can choose which encryption algorithm to apply to BitLocker encryption capable devices, rather than automatically having those devices encrypt themselves with the default algorithm. This allows the encryption algorithm (and other BitLocker policies that must be applied prior to encryption), to be delivered before BitLocker encryption begins.
+
+For example, you can choose the XTS-AES 256 encryption algorithm, and have it applied to devices that would normally encrypt themselves automatically with the default XTS-AES 128 algorithm during OOBE.
+
+To achieve this:
+
+1. Configure the [encryption method settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/endpoint-protection-windows-10#windows-encryption) in the Windows 10 Endpoint Protection profile to the desired encryption algorithm.
+2. [Assign the policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/device-profile-assign) to your Autopilot device group.
+ - **IMPORTANT**: The encryption policy must be assigned to **devices** in the group, not users.
+3. Enable the Autopilot [Enrollment Status Page](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/enrollment-status) (ESP) for these devices.
+ - **IMPORTANT**: If the ESP is not enabled, the policy will not apply before encryption starts.
+
+### Identity protection
+
+Improvements have been added are to Windows Hello for Business and Credential Guard.
+
+#### Windows Hello for Business
+
+New features in Windows Hello enable a better device lock experience, using multifactor unlock with new location and user proximity signals. Using Bluetooth signals, you can configure your Windows 10 device to automatically lock when you walk away from it, or to prevent others from accessing the device when you are not present.
+
+New features in [Windows Hello for Business](/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-identity-verification.md) inlcude:
+- You can now reset a forgotten PIN without deleting company managed data or apps on devices managed by [Microsoft Intune](https://www.microsoft.com/cloud-platform/microsoft-intune).
+- For Windows Phone devices, an administrator is able to initiate a remote PIN reset through the Intune portal.
+- For Windows desktops, users are able to reset a forgotten PIN through **Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options**. For more details, check out [What if I forget my PIN?](/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-features#pin-reset).
+
+[Windows Hello](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-features) now supports FIDO 2.0 authentication for Azure AD Joined Windows 10 devices and has enhanced support for shared devices, as described in the [Kiosk configuration](#kiosk-configuration) section.
+- Windows Hello is now [password-less on S-mode](https://www.windowslatest.com/2018/02/12/microsoft-make-windows-10-password-less-platform/).
+- Support for S/MIME with Windows Hello for Business and APIs for non-Microsoft identity lifecycle management solutions.
+- Windows Hello is part of the account protection pillar in Windows Defender Security Center. Account Protection will encourage password users to set up Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint or PIN for faster sign in, and will notify Dynamic lock users if Dynamic lock has stopped working because their phone or device Bluetooth is off.
+- You can set up Windows Hello from lock screen for MSA accounts. We’ve made it easier for Microsoft account users to set up Windows Hello on their devices for faster and more secure sign-in. Previously, you had to navigate deep into Settings to find Windows Hello. Now, you can set up Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint or PIN straight from your lock screen by clicking the Windows Hello tile under Sign-in options.
+- New [public API](https://docs.microsoft.com/uwp/api/windows.security.authentication.web.core.webauthenticationcoremanager.findallaccountsasync#Windows_Security_Authentication_Web_Core_WebAuthenticationCoreManager_FindAllAccountsAsync_Windows_Security_Credentials_WebAccountProvider_) for secondary account SSO for a particular identity provider.
+- It is easier to set up Dynamic lock, and WD SC actionable alerts have been added when Dynamic lock stops working (ex: phone Bluetooth is off).
+
+For more information, see: [Windows Hello and FIDO2 Security Keys enable secure and easy authentication for shared devices](https://blogs.windows.com/business/2018/04/17/windows-hello-fido2-security-keys/#OdKBg3pwJQcEKCbJ.97)
+
+#### Windows Defender Credential Guard
+
+Windows Defender Credential Guard is a security service in Windows 10 built to protect Active Directory (AD) domain credentials so that they can't be stolen or misused by malware on a user's machine. It is designed to protect against well-known threats such as Pass-the-Hash and credential harvesting.
+
+Windows Defender Credential Guard has always been an optional feature, but Windows 10 in S mode turns this functionality on by default when the machine has been Azure Active Directory joined. This provides an added level of security when connecting to domain resources not normally present on devices running Windows 10 in S mode. Please note that Windows Defender Credential Guard is available only to S mode devices or Enterprise and Education Editions.
+
+For more information, see [Credential Guard Security Considerations](/windows/access-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-requirements#security-considerations).
+
+### Other security improvments
+
+#### Windows security baselines
+
+Microsoft has released new [Windows security baselines](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/windows-security-baselines) for Windows Server and Windows 10. A security baseline is a group of Microsoft-recommended configuration settings with an explanation of their security impact. For more information, and to download the Policy Analyzer tool, see [Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/security-compliance-toolkit-10).
+
+**Windows security baselines** have been updated for Windows 10. A [security baseline](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/windows-security-baselines) is a group of Microsoft-recommended configuration settings and explains their security impact. For more information, and to download the Policy Analyzer tool, see [Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/device-security/security-compliance-toolkit-10).
+
+The new [security baseline for Windows 10 version 1803](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/security-compliance-toolkit-10) has been published.
+
+#### SMBLoris vulnerability
+
+An issue, known as “SMBLoris�?, which could result in denial of service, has been addressed.
+
+#### Windows Security Center
+
+Windows Defender Security Center is now called **Windows Security Center**.
+
+You can still get to the app in all the usual ways – simply ask Cortana to open Windows Security Center(WSC) or interact with the taskbar icon. WSC lets you manage all your security needs, including **Windows Defender Antivirus** and **Windows Defender Firewall**.
+
+The WSC service now requires antivirus products to run as a protected process to register. Products that have not yet implemented this will not appear in the Windows Security Center user interface, and Windows Defender Antivirus will remain enabled side-by-side with these products.
+
+WSC now includes the Fluent Design System elements you know and love. You’ll also notice we’ve adjusted the spacing and padding around the app. It will now dynamically size the categories on the main page if more room is needed for extra info. We also updated the title bar so that it will use your accent color if you have enabled that option in **Color Settings**.
+
+
+
+#### Group Policy Security Options
+
+The security setting [**Interactive logon: Display user information when the session is locked**](/windows/device-security/security-policy-settings/interactive-logon-display-user-information-when-the-session-is-locked) has been updated to work in conjunction with the **Privacy** setting in **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Sign-in options**.
+
+A new security policy setting
+[**Interactive logon: Don't display username at sign-in**](/windows/device-security/security-policy-settings/interactive-logon-dont-display-username-at-sign-in) has been introduced in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC. This security policy setting determines whether the username is displayed during sign in. It works in conjunction with the **Privacy** setting in **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Sign-in options**. The setting only affects the **Other user** tile.
+
+#### Windows 10 in S mode
+
+We’ve continued to work on the **Current threats** area in [Virus & threat protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-security-center/wdsc-virus-threat-protection), which now displays all threats that need action. You can quickly take action on threats from this screen:
+
+
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Windows Autopilot
+
+[Windows Autopilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-autopilot) is a deployment tool introduced with Windows 10, version 1709 and is also available for Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC (and later versions). Windows Autopilot provides a modern device lifecycle management service powered by the cloud to deliver a zero touch experience for deploying Windows 10.
+
+Windows Autopilot is currently available with Surface, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Other OEM partners such as Panasonic, and Acer will support Autopilot soon. Check the [Windows IT Pro Blog](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog) or this article for updated information.
+
+Using Intune, Autopilot now enables locking the device during provisioning during the Windows Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) until policies and settings for the device get provisioned, thereby ensuring that by the time the user gets to the desktop, the device is secured and configured correctly.
+
+You can also apply an Autopilot deployment profile to your devices using Microsoft Store for Business. When people in your organization run the out-of-box experience on the device, the profile configures Windows based on the Autopilot deployment profile you applied to the device. For more information, see [Manage Windows device deployment with Windows Autopilot Deployment](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-store/add-profile-to-devices).
+
+#### Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode
+
+Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode enables a zero touch device provisioning experience. Simply power on the device, plug it into the Ethernet, and the device is fully configured automatically by Windows Autopilot.
+
+This self-deploying capability removes the current need to have an end user interact by pressing the “Next” button during the deployment process.
+
+You can utilize Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode to register the device to an AAD tenant, enroll in your organization’s MDM provider, and provision policies and applications, all with no user authentication or user interaction required.
+
+To learn more about Autopilot self-deploying mode and to see step-by-step instructions to perform such a deployment, [Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/self-deploying).
+
+
+#### Autopilot Reset
+
+IT Pros can use Autopilot Reset to quickly remove personal files, apps, and settings. A custom login screen is available from the lock screen that enables you to apply original settings and management enrollment (Azure Active Directory and device management) so that devices are returned to a fully configured, known, IT-approved state and ready to use. For more information, see [Reset devices with Autopilot Reset](https://docs.microsoft.com/education/windows/autopilot-reset).
+
+### MBR2GPT.EXE
+
+MBR2GPT.EXE is a new command-line tool introduced with Windows 10, version 1703 and also available in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC (and later versions). MBR2GPT converts a disk from Master Boot Record (MBR) to GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style without modifying or deleting data on the disk. The tool is designed to be run from a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) command prompt, but can also be run from the full Windows 10 operating system (OS).
+
+The GPT partition format is newer and enables the use of larger and more disk partitions. It also provides added data reliability, supports additional partition types, and enables faster boot and shutdown speeds. If you convert the system disk on a computer from MBR to GPT, you must also configure the computer to boot in UEFI mode, so make sure that your device supports UEFI before attempting to convert the system disk.
+
+Additional security features of Windows 10 that are enabled when you boot in UEFI mode include: Secure Boot, Early Launch Anti-malware (ELAM) driver, Windows Trusted Boot, Measured Boot, Device Guard, Credential Guard, and BitLocker Network Unlock.
+
+For details, see [MBR2GPT.EXE](/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt).
+
+### DISM
+
+The following new DISM commands have been added to manage feature updates:
+
+ DISM /Online /Initiate-OSUninstall
+ – Initiates a OS uninstall to take the computer back to the previous installation of windows.
+ DISM /Online /Remove-OSUninstall
+ – Removes the OS uninstall capability from the computer.
+ DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow
+ – Displays the number of days after upgrade during which uninstall can be performed.
+ DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow
+ – Sets the number of days after upgrade during which uninstall can be performed.
+
+For more information, see [DISM operating system uninstall command-line options](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/dism-uninstallos-command-line-options).
+
+### Windows Setup
+
+You can now run your own custom actions or scripts in parallel with Windows Setup. Setup will also migrate your scripts to next feature release, so you only need to add them once.
+
+Prerequisites:
+- Windows 10, version 1803 or Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, or later.
+- Windows 10 Enterprise or Pro
+
+For more information, see [Run custom actions during feature update](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-enable-custom-actions).
+
+It is also now possible to run a script if the user rolls back their version of Windows using the PostRollback option.
+
+ /PostRollback [\setuprollback.cmd] [/postrollback {system / admin}]
+
+For more information, see [Windows Setup Command-Line Options](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-command-line-options#21)
+
+New command-line switches are also available to control BitLocker:
+
+ Setup.exe /BitLocker AlwaysSuspend
+ – Always suspend bitlocker during upgrade.
+ Setup.exe /BitLocker TryKeepActive
+ – Enable upgrade without suspending bitlocker but if upgrade, does not work then suspend bitlocker and complete the upgrade.
+ Setup.exe /BitLocker ForceKeepActive
+ – Enable upgrade without suspending bitlocker, but if upgrade does not work, fail the upgrade.

+For more information, see [Windows Setup Command-Line Options](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-command-line-options#33)
+
+### Feature update improvements
+
+Portions of the work done during the offline phases of a Windows update have been moved to the online phase. This has resulted in a significant reduction of offline time when installing updates. For more information, see [We're listening to you](https://insider.windows.com/en-us/articles/were-listening-to-you/).
+
+### SetupDiag
+
+[SetupDiag](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/upgrade/setupdiag) is a new command-line tool that can help diagnose why a Windows 10 update failed.
+
+SetupDiag works by searching Windows Setup log files. When searching log files, SetupDiag uses a set of rules to match known issues. In the current version of SetupDiag there are 53 rules contained in the rules.xml file, which is extracted when SetupDiag is run. The rules.xml file will be updated as new versions of SetupDiag are made available.
+
+## Sign-in
+
+### Faster sign-in to a Windows 10 shared pc
+
+If you have shared devices deployed in your work place, **Fast sign-in** enables users to sign in to a [shared Windows 10 PC](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/set-up-shared-or-guest-pc) in a flash!
+
+**To enable fast sign-in:**
+1. Set up a shared or guest device with Windows 10, version 1809 or Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC.
+2. Set the Policy CSP, and the **Authentication** and **EnableFastFirstSignIn** policies to enable fast sign-in.
+3. Sign-in to a shared PC with your account. You'll notice the difference!
+
+ 
+
+### Web sign-in to Windows 10
+
+Until now, Windows logon only supported the use of identities federated to ADFS or other providers that support the WS-Fed protocol. We are introducing “web sign-in,” a new way of signing into your Windows PC. Web Sign-in enables Windows logon support for non-ADFS federated providers (e.g.SAML).
+
+**To try out web sign-in:**
+1. Azure AD Join your Windows 10 PC. (Web sign-in is only supported on Azure AD Joined PCs).
+2. Set the Policy CSP, and the Authentication and EnableWebSignIn polices to enable web sign-in.
+3. On the lock screen, select web sign-in under sign-in options.
+4. Click the “Sign in” button to continue.

+## Windows Analytics
+
+### Upgrade Readiness
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>Upgrade Readiness will not allow you to assess an upgrade to an LTSC release (LTSC builds are not available as target versions). However, you can enroll devices running LTSC to plan for an upgrade to a semi-annual channel release.
+
+Upgrade Readiness helps you ensure that applications and drivers are ready for a Windows 10 upgrade. The solution provides up-to-date application and driver inventory, information about known issues, troubleshooting guidance, and per-device readiness and tracking details. The Upgrade Readiness tool moved from public preview to general availability on March 2, 2017.
+
+The development of Upgrade Readiness has been heavily influenced by input from the community the development of new features is ongoing. To begin using Upgrade Readiness, add it to an existing Operation Management Suite (OMS) workspace or sign up for a new OMS workspace with the Upgrade Readiness solution enabled.
+
+For more information about Upgrade Readiness, see the following topics:

+
+## Windows Update
+
+### Windows Update for Business
+
+Windows Update for Business now provides greater control over updates, with the ability to pause and uninstall problematic updates using Intune. For more information, see [Manage software updates in Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/windows-update-for-business-configure).
+
+The pause feature has been changed, and now requires a start date to set up. Users are now able to pause through **Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Advanced options** in case a policy has not been configured. We have also increased the pause limit on quality updates to 35 days. You can find more information on pause in [Pause Feature Updates](/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb#pause-feature-updates) and [Pause Quality Updates](/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb#pause-quality-updates).
+
+
+Windows Update for Business managed devices are now able to defer feature update installation by up to 365 days (it used to be 180 days). In settings, users are able to select their branch readiness level and update deferal periods. See [Configure devices for Current Branch (CB) or Current Branch for Business (CBB)](/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb#configure-devices-for-current-branch-or-current-branch-for-business), [Configure when devices receive Feature Updates](/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb#configure-when-devices-receive-feature-updates) and [Configure when devices receive Quality Updates](/windows/deployment/update/waas-configure-wufb#configure-when-devices-receive-quality-updates) for details.

+
+
+### Optimize update delivery
+
+With changes delivered in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, [Express updates](/windows/deployment/update/waas-optimize-windows-10-updates#express-update-delivery) are now fully supported with System Center Configuration Manager, starting with version 1702 of Configuration Manager, as well as with other third-party updating and management products that [implement this new functionality](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/management/windows-server-update-services/deploy/express-update-delivery-isv-support). This is in addition to current Express support on Windows Update, Windows Update for Business and WSUS.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> The above changes can be made available to Windows 10, version 1607, by installing the April 2017 cumulative update.
+
+Delivery Optimization policies now enable you to configure additional restrictions to have more control in various scenarios.
+
+Added policies include:
+- [Allow uploads while the device is on battery while under set Battery level](/windows/deployment/update/waas-delivery-optimization#allow-uploads-while-the-device-is-on-battery-while-under-set-battery-level)
+- [Enable Peer Caching while the device connects via VPN](/windows/deployment/update/waas-delivery-optimization#enable-peer-caching-while-the-device-connects-via-vpn)

+
+To check out all the details, see [Configure Delivery Optimization for Windows 10 updates](/windows/deployment/update/waas-delivery-optimization)
+
+### Uninstalled in-box apps no longer automatically reinstall
+
+Starting with Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, in-box apps that were uninstalled by the user won't automatically reinstall as part of the feature update installation process.
+
+Additionally, apps de-provisioned by admins on Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC machines will stay de-provisioned after future feature update installations. This will not apply to the update from Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC (or earlier) to Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC.
+
+## Management
+
+### New MDM capabilities
+
+Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC adds many new [configuration service providers (CSPs)](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/how-it-pros-can-use-configuration-service-providers) that provide new capabilities for managing Windows 10 devices using MDM or provisioning packages. Among other things, these CSPs enable you to configure a few hundred of the most useful Group Policy settings via MDM - see [Policy CSP - ADMX-backed policies](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-admx-backed).
+
+Some of the other new CSPs are:
+
+- The [DynamicManagement CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/dynamicmanagement-csp) allows you to manage devices differently depending on location, network, or time. For example, managed devices can have cameras disabled when at a work location, the cellular service can be disabled when outside the country to avoid roaming charges, or the wireless network can be disabled when the device is not within the corporate building or campus. Once configured, these settings will be enforced even if the device can’t reach the management server when the location or network changes. The Dynamic Management CSP enables configuration of policies that change how the device is managed in addition to setting the conditions on which the change occurs.
+
+- The [CleanPC CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/cleanpc-csp) allows removal of user-installed and pre-installed applications, with the option to persist user data.
+
+- The [BitLocker CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/bitlocker-csp) is used to manage encryption of PCs and devices. For example, you can require storage card encryption on mobile devices, or require encryption for operating system drives.
+
+- The [NetworkProxy CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/networkproxy-csp) is used to configure a proxy server for ethernet and Wi-Fi connections.
+
+- The [Office CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/office-csp) enables a Microsoft Office client to be installed on a device via the Office Deployment Tool. For more information, see [Configuration options for the Office Deployment Tool](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219426.aspx).
+
+- The [EnterpriseAppVManagement CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/enterpriseappvmanagement-csp) is used to manage virtual applications in Windows 10 PCs (Enterprise and Education editions) and enables App-V sequenced apps to be streamed to PCs even when managed by MDM.
+
+IT pros can use the new [MDM Migration Analysis Tool (MMAT)](https://aka.ms/mmat) to determine which Group Policy settings have been configured for a user or computer and cross-reference those settings against a built-in list of supported MDM policies. MMAT can generate both XML and HTML reports indicating the level of support for each Group Policy setting and MDM equivalents.
+
+[Learn more about new MDM capabilities.](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/new-in-windows-mdm-enrollment-management#whatsnew10)
+
+MDM has been expanded to include domain joined devices with Azure Active Directory registration. Group Policy can be used with Active Directory joined devices to trigger auto-enrollment to MDM. For more information, see [Enroll a Windows 10 device automatically using Group Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/enroll-a-windows-10-device-automatically-using-group-policy).
+
+Multiple new configuration items are also added. For more information, see [What's new in MDM enrollment and management](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/new-in-windows-mdm-enrollment-management#whatsnew1709).
+
+### Mobile application management support for Windows 10
+
+The Windows version of mobile application management (MAM) is a lightweight solution for managing company data access and security on personal devices. MAM support is built into Windows on top of Windows Information Protection (WIP), starting in Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC.
+
+For more info, see [Implement server-side support for mobile application management on Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/implement-server-side-mobile-application-management).
+
+### MDM diagnostics
+
+In Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, we continue our work to improve the diagnostic experience for modern management. By introducing auto-logging for mobile devices, Windows will automatically collect logs when encountering an error in MDM, eliminating the need to have always-on logging for memory-constrained devices. Additionally, we are introducing [Microsoft Message Analyzer](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=44226) as an additional tool to help Support personnel quickly reduce issues to their root cause, while saving time and cost.
+
+### Application Virtualization for Windows (App-V)
+
+Previous versions of the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer) have required you to manually create your sequencing environment. Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC introduces two new PowerShell cmdlets, New-AppVSequencerVM and Connect-AppvSequencerVM, which automatically create your sequencing environment for you, including provisioning your virtual machine. Additionally, the App-V Sequencer has been updated to let you sequence or update multiple apps at the same time, while automatically capturing and storing your customizations as an App-V project template (.appvt) file, and letting you use PowerShell or Group Policy settings to automatically cleanup your unpublished packages after a device restart.
+
+For more info, see the following topics:
+- [Automatically provision your sequencing environment using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](/windows/application-management/app-v/appv-auto-provision-a-vm)

+
+This version of Windows 10 introduces [Windows Mixed Reality](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/10/03/the-era-of-windows-mixed-reality-begins-october-17/). Organizations that use WSUS must take action to enable Windows Mixed Reality. You can also prohibit use of Windows Mixed Reality by blocking installation of the Mixed Reality Portal. For more information, see [Enable or block Windows Mixed Reality apps in the enterprise](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/application-management/manage-windows-mixed-reality).
+
+## Networking
+
+### Network stack
+
+Several network stack enhancements are available in this release. Some of these features were also available in Windows 10, version 1703. For more information, see [Core Network Stack Features in the Creators Update for Windows 10](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/networking/2017/07/13/core-network-stack-features-in-the-creators-update-for-windows-10/).
+
+### Miracast over Infrastructure
+
+In this version of Windows 10, Microsoft has extended the ability to send a Miracast stream over a local network rather than over a direct wireless link. This functionality is based on the [Miracast over Infrastructure Connection Establishment Protocol (MS-MICE)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt796768.aspx).
+
+How it works:
+
+Users attempt to connect to a Miracast receiver as they did previously. When the list of Miracast receivers is populated, Windows 10 will identify that the receiver is capable of supporting a connection over the infrastructure. When the user selects a Miracast receiver, Windows 10 will attempt to resolve the device's hostname via standard DNS, as well as via multicast DNS (mDNS). If the name is not resolvable via either DNS method, Windows 10 will fall back to establishing the Miracast session using the standard Wi-Fi direct connection.
+
+Miracast over Infrastructure offers a number of benefits:
+
+- Windows automatically detects when sending the video stream over this path is applicable.
+- Windows will only choose this route if the connection is over Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi network.
+- Users do not have to change how they connect to a Miracast receiver. They use the same UX as for standard Miracast connections.
+- No changes to current wireless drivers or PC hardware are required.
+- It works well with older wireless hardware that is not optimized for Miracast over Wi-Fi Direct.
+- It leverages an existing connection which both reduces the time to connect and provides a very stable stream.
+
+Enabling Miracast over Infrastructure:
+
+If you have a device that has been updated to Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, then you automatically have this new feature. To take advantage of it in your environment, you need to ensure the following is true within your deployment:
+
+- The device (PC, phone, or Surface Hub) needs to be running Windows 10, version 1703, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, or a later OS.
+- A Windows PC or Surface Hub can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *receiver*. A Windows PC or phone can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *source*.
+ - As a Miracast receiver, the PC or Surface Hub must be connected to your enterprise network via either Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection (e.g. using either WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise security). If the Hub is connected to an open Wi-Fi connection, Miracast over Infrastructure will disable itself.
+ - As a Miracast source, the PC or phone must be connected to the same enterprise network via Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection.
+- The DNS Hostname (device name) of the device needs to be resolvable via your DNS servers. You can achieve this by either allowing your device to register automatically via Dynamic DNS, or by manually creating an A or AAAA record for the device's hostname.
+- Windows 10 PCs must be connected to the same enterprise network via Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection.
+
+It is important to note that Miracast over Infrastructure is not a replacement for standard Miracast. Instead, the functionality is complementary, and provides an advantage to users who are part of the enterprise network. Users who are guests to a particular location and don’t have access to the enterprise network will continue to connect using the Wi-Fi Direct connection method.
+
+## Registry editor improvements
+
+We added a dropdown that displays as you type to help complete the next part of the path. You can also press **Ctrl + Backspace** to delete the last word, and **Ctrl + Delete** to delete the next word.
+
+
+
+## Remote Desktop with Biometrics
+
+Azure Active Directory and Active Directory users using Windows Hello for Business can use biometrics to authenticate to a remote desktop session.
+
+To get started, sign into your device using Windows Hello for Business. Bring up **Remote Desktop Connection** (mstsc.exe), type the name of the computer you want to connect to, and click **Connect**.
+
+- Windows remembers that you signed using Windows Hello for Business, and automatically selects Windows Hello for Business to authenticate you to your RDP session. You can also click **More choices** to choose alternate credentials.
+- Windows uses facial recognition to authenticate the RDP session to the Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V server. You can continue to use Windows Hello for Business in the remote session, but you must use your PIN.
