>Windows servicing is changing, but for disaster recovery scenarios and bare-metal deployments of Windows 10, you still can use traditional imaging software such as System Center Configuration Manager or the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Using these tools to deploy Windows 10 images is similar to deploying previous versions of Windows.

## User consent requirement
With the current version of the Feedback Hub app, we need the user's consent to access their AAD account profile data (We read their name, organizational tenant ID and user ID). When they sign in for the first time with the AAD account, they will se a popup asking for their permissions, like this:
![Feedback Hub consent to AAD pop-up](images/waas-wipfb-aad-consent.png)
Once agreed, everything will work fine and that user won't be asked for permissions again.
### Something went wrong
The option for users to give consent for apps to access their profile data is controlled through Azure Active Directory. This means the AAD administrators have the ability to allow or block users from giving consent.
In case the administrators blocked this option, when the user signs in with the AAD account, they will see the following error message:
![Feedback Hub consent error message](images/waas-wipfb-aad-error.png)
This blocks the user from signing in, which means they won't be able to use the Feedback Hub app with their AAD credentials.
**To fix this issue**, an adminsitrator of the AAD directory will need to enable user consent for apps to access their data.
To do this through the **classic Azure portal**:
1. Go to https://manage.windowsazure.com/ .
2. Switch to the **Active Directory** dashboard.

For many IT pros, gaining visibility into feature updates early—before theyre available to the CB servicing branch—can be both intriguing and valuable for future end user communications as well as provide additional prestaging for CB machines. 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. Also, as flighted builds get closer to their release to CB, organizations can test their deployment on test devices for compatibility validation.

>Once your machine is updated to Windows 10 and you select your desired flight ring, the process known as "Compatibility check" will need to run in the background. There is no manual way to force this process to run. This process allows for the discovery of your OS type (32-bit, 64-bit), build edition (Home, Pro, Enterprise), country and language settings, and other required information.
