-# Deployment recommendations for school IT administrators
-
-Your privacy is important to us, so we want to provide you with ways to customize the OS privacy settings, and some of the apps, so that you can choose what information is shared with Microsoft. To learn more about Microsoft's commitment to privacy, see [Windows 10 and privacy](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=809305). The following sections provide some best practices and specific privacy settings we'd like you to be aware of. For more information about ways to customize the OS diagnostic data, consumer experiences, Cortana, and search, see [Windows 10 configuration recommendations for education customers](configure-windows-for-education.md).
-
-We want all students to have the chance to use the apps they need for success in the classroom and all school personnel to have apps they need for their job. Students and school personnel who use assistive technology apps not available in the Microsoft Store, and use devices running Windows 10 S, will be able to configure the device at no extra charge to Windows 10 Pro Education. To learn more about the steps to configure this device, see [Switch to Windows 10 Pro Education from Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 S](change-to-pro-education.md).
-
-## Deployment best practices
-
-Keep these best practices in mind when deploying any edition of Windows 10 in schools or districts:
-
-* A Microsoft account is only intended for consumer services. Enterprises and educational institutions should use enterprise versions where possible, such as Skype for Business, OneDrive for Business, and so on. For schools, consider using mobile device management (MDM) or Group Policy to block students from adding a Microsoft account as a secondary account
-* If schools allow the use of personal accounts by their students to access personal services, schools should be aware that these accounts belong to individuals, not the school
-* IT administrators, school officials, and teachers should also consider ratings when picking apps from the Microsoft Store
-* If you've students or school personnel who rely on assistive technology apps that aren't available in the Microsoft Store, and who are using a Windows 10 S device, configure their device to Windows 10 Pro Education to allow the download and use of non-Microsoft Store assistive technology apps. See [Switch to Windows 10 Pro Education from Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 S](change-to-pro-education.md) for more info
-
-## Windows 10 Contacts privacy settings
-
-If you're an IT administrator who deploys Windows 10 in a school or district, we recommend that you review these deployment resources to make informed decisions about how you can configure telemetry for your school or district:
-
-* [Configure Windows telemetry in your organization](/windows/privacy/configure-windows-diagnostic-data-in-your-organization) - Describes the types of telemetry we gather and the ways you can manage this data
-* [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services) - Learn about network connections that Windows components make to Microsoft and also the privacy settings (such as location, camera, messaging, and more) that affect data that is shared with either Microsoft or apps and how you can manage this data
-
-In particular, the **Contacts** area in the **Settings** > **Privacy** section lets you choose which apps can access a student's contacts list. By default, this setting is turned on.
-
-To change the setting, you can:
-* [Turn off access to contacts for all apps](#turn-off-access-to-contacts-for-all-apps)
-* [Choose the apps that you want to allow access to contacts](#choose-the-apps-that-you-want-to-allow-access-to-contacts)
-
-### Turn off access to contacts for all apps
-
-To turn off access to contacts for all apps on individual Windows devices:
-
-1. On the computer, go to **Settings** and select **Privacy**.
-1. Under the list of **Privacy** areas, select **Contacts**.
-1. Turn off **Let apps access my contacts**.
-
-For IT-managed Windows devices, you can use a Group Policy to turn off the setting. To turn off the setting:
-
-1. Apply the Group Policy: **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **Windows Components** > **App Privacy** > **Let Windows apps access contacts**.
-1. Set the **Select a setting** box to **Force Deny**.
-
-### Choose the apps that you want to allow access to contacts
-
-If you want to allow only certain apps to have access to contacts, you can use the switch for each app to specify which ones you want on or off.
-
-The list of apps on the Windows-based device may vary from the above example. The list depends on what apps you've installed and which of these apps access contacts.
-
-To allow only certain apps to have access to contacts, you can:
-
-- Configure each app individually using the **Settings** > **Contacts** option in the Windows UI
-- Apply the Group Policy: **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **Windows Components** > **App Privacy** > **Let Windows apps access contacts** and then specify the default for each app by adding the app's Package Family Name under the default behavior you want to enforce
-
-## Skype and Xbox settings
-
-Skype (a Universal Windows Platform [UWP]) and Xbox are preinstalled as part of Windows 10.
-
-The Skype app replaces the integration of Skype features into Skype video and Messaging apps on Windows PCs and large tablets. The Skype app provides all these features in one place and lets users have a single place to manage both their chat and voice conversations so they can take better advantage of their screen. For information about the new Skype UWP app preview, see [Skype for Windows 10 Insiders – your most asked questions](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=821441).
-
-With the Xbox app, students can use their Xbox profiles to play and make progress on their games using their Windows-based device. They can also unlock achievements and show off to their friends with game clips and screenshots. The Xbox app requires a Microsoft account, which is a personal account.
-
-Both Skype and Xbox include searchable directories that let students find other people to connect to. The online privacy and security settings for Skype and Xbox aren't manageable through Group Policy so we recommend that school IT administrators and school officials let parents and students know about these searchable directories.
-
-If the school allows the use of personal or Microsoft account in addition to organization accounts, we also recommend that IT administrators inform parents and students that they can optionally remove any identifying information from the directories by:
-
-* [Managing the user profile](#managing-the-user-profile)
-* [Deleting the account if the user name is part of the identifying information](#delete-an-account-if-username-is-identifying)
-
-### Managing the user profile
-
-#### Skype
-
-Skype uses the user's contact details to deliver important information about the account and it also lets friends find each other on Skype.
-
-To manage and edit your profile in the Skype UWP app, follow these steps:
-
-1. In the Skype UWP app, select the user profile icon to go to the user's profile page.
-2. In the account page, select **Manage account** for the Skype account that you want to change. This will take you to the online Skype portal.
-3. In the online Skype portal, scroll down to the **Account details** section. In **Settings and preferences**, click **Edit profile**.
-
- The profile page includes these sections:
-
- * Personal information
- * Contact details
- * Profile settings
-
-4. Review the information in each section and click **Edit profile** in either or both the **Personal information** and **Contact details** sections to change the information being shared. You can also remove the checks in the **Profile settings** section to change settings on discoverability, notifications, and staying in touch.
-5. If you don't wish the name to be included, edit the fields and replace the fields with **XXX**.
-6. To change the profile picture, go to the Skype app and click on the current profile picture or avatar. The **Manage Profile Picture** window pops up.
-
- * To take a new picture, click the camera icon in the pop-up window. To upload a new picture, click the three dots (**...**)
- * You can also change the visibility of the profile picture between public (everyone) or for contacts only. To change the profile picture visibility, select the dropdown under **Profile picture** and choose between **Show to everyone** or **Show to contacts only**
-
-#### Xbox
-
-A user's Xbox friends and their friends' friends can see their real name and profile. By default, the Xbox privacy settings enforce that no personal identifying information of a minor is shared on the Xbox Live network, although adults in the child's family can change these default settings to allow it to be more permissive.
-
-To learn more about how families can manage security and privacy settings on Xbox, see this [Xbox article on security](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=821445).
-
-
-### Delete an account if username is identifying
-
-If you want to delete either (or both) the Skype and the Xbox accounts, here's how to do it.
-
-#### Skype
-
-To delete a Skype account, you can follow the instructions here: [How do I close my Skype account?](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=816515)
-
-If you need help with deleting the account, you can contact Skype customer service by going to the [Skype support request page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=816519). You may need to sign in and specify a Skype account. Once you've signed in, you can:
-
-1. Select a help topic (**Account and Password**)
-1. Select a related problem (**Deleting an account**)
-1. Click **Next**.
-1. Select a contact method to get answers to your questions.
-
-#### Xbox
-
-To delete an Xbox account, you can follow the instructions here: [How to delete your Microsoft account and personal information associated with it](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=816521).

-title: Microsoft Entra join with Set up School PCs app
-description: Learn how Microsoft Entra join is configured in the Set up School PCs app.
-ms.topic: reference
-ms.date: 08/10/2022
-appliesto:

----
-
-# Microsoft Entra join for school PCs
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Set up School PCs app uses Microsoft Entra join to configure PCs. The app is helpful if you use the cloud based directory, Microsoft Entra ID. If your organization uses Active Directory or requires no account to connect, install and use [Windows Configuration
-> Designer](set-up-students-pcs-to-join-domain.md) to
-> join your PCs to your school's domain.
-
-Set up School PCs lets you create a provisioning package that automates Microsoft Entra ID
-Join on your devices. This feature eliminates the need to manually:
-
-- Connect to your school's network.
-- Join your organization's domain.
-
-## Automated connection to school domain
-
-During initial device setup, Microsoft Entra join automatically connects your PCs to your school's Microsoft Entra domain. You can skip all of the Windows setup experience that is typically a part of the out-of-the-box-experience (OOBE). Devices that are managed by a mobile device manager, such as Intune, are automatically enrolled with the provider upon initial device startup.
-
-Students who sign in to their PCs with their Microsoft Entra credentials get access to on-premises apps and the following cloud apps:
-* Office 365
-* OneDrive
-* OneNote
-
-
-
-## Enable Microsoft Entra join
-
-Learn how to enable Microsoft Entra join for your school. After you configure this setting, you'll be able to request an automated Microsoft Entra bulk token, which you need to create a provisioning package.
-
-1. Sign in to the Azure portal with your organization's credentials.
-2. Go to **Azure
-Active Directory** \> **Devices** \> **Device settings**.
-3. Enable the setting
-for Microsoft Entra ID by selecting **All** or **Selected**. If you choose the latter
-option, select the teachers and IT staff to allow them to connect to Microsoft Entra ID.
-
-
-
-You can also create an account that holds the exclusive rights to join devices. When a student PC has to be set up, provide the account credentials to the appropriate teachers or staff.
-
-## All Device Settings
-
-The following table describes each setting within **Device Settings**.
-
-| Setting | Description |
-|------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| Users may join devices to Microsoft Entra ID | Choose the scope of people in your organization that are allowed to join devices to Microsoft Entra ID. **All** allows all users and groups within your tenant to join devices. **Selected** prompts you to choose specific users or groups to allow. **None** allows no one in your tenant to join devices to Microsoft Entra ID. |
-| More local administrators on Microsoft Entra joined devices | Only applicable to Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 tenants. Grant extra local administrator rights on devices, to selected users. Global administrators and the device owner are granted local administrator rights by default. |
-| Users may register their devices with Microsoft Entra ID | Allow all or none of your users to register their devices with Microsoft Entra ID (Workplace Join). If you're enrolled in Microsoft Intune or Mobile Device Management for Office 365, your devices are required to be registered. In this case, **All** is automatically selected for you. |
-| Require Multi-Factor Authentication to join devices | Recommended when adding devices to Microsoft Entra ID. When set to **Yes**, users that are setting up devices must enter a second method of authentication. |
-| Maximum number of devices per user | Set the maximum number of devices a user is allowed to have in Microsoft Entra ID. If the maximum is exceeded, the user must remove one or more existing devices before more devices are added. |
-| Users may sync settings and enterprise app data | Allow all or none of your users to sync settings and app data across multiple devices. Tenants with Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 are permitted to select specific users to allow. |
-
-
-
-## Clear Microsoft Entra tokens
-
-Your Intune tenant can only have 500 active Microsoft Entra tokens, or packages, at a time. You'll receive a notification in the Intune portal when you reach 500 active tokens.
-
-To reduce your inventory, clear out all unnecessary and inactive tokens.
-1. Go to **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Users** > **All users**
-2. In the **User Name** column, select and delete all accounts with a **package\ _**
-prefix. These accounts are created at a 1:1 ratio for every token and are safe
-to delete.
-3. Select and delete inactive and expired user accounts.
-
-### How do I know if my package expired?
-Automated Microsoft Entra tokens expire after 180 days. The expiration date for each token is appended to the end of the saved provisioning package, on the USB drive. After this date, you must create a new package. Be careful that you don't delete active accounts.

-# Set up student PCs to join domain
-
-If your school uses Active Directory, use the Windows Configuration Designer tool to create a provisioning package that will configure a PC for student use that is joined to the Active Directory domain.
-
-## Install Windows Configuration Designer
-Follow the instructions in [Install Windows Configuration Designer](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-install-icd).
-
-## Create the provisioning package
-Follow the steps in [Provision PCs with common settings for initial deployment (desktop wizard)](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provision-pcs-for-initial-deployment). However, make a note of these steps to further customize the provisioning package for use in a school that will join a student PC to a domain:
-
-1. In the **Account Management** step:
-
- > [!WARNING]
- > If you don't create a local administrator account and the device fails to enroll in Active Directory for any reason, you'll have to reimage the device and start over. As a best practice, we recommend:
- > - Use a least-privileged domain account to join the device to the domain.
- > - Create a temporary administrator account to use for debugging or reprovisioning if the device fails to enroll successfully.
- > - [Use Group Policy to delete the temporary administrator account](/archive/blogs/canitpro/group-policy-creating-a-standard-local-admin-account) after the device is enrolled in Active Directory.
-
-2. After you're done with the wizard, don't click **Create**. Instead, click the **Switch to advanced editor** to switch the project to the advanced editor to see all the available **Runtime settings**.
-3. Find the **SharedPC** settings group.
- - Set **EnableSharedPCMode** to **TRUE** to configure the PC for shared use.

-Windows 10 offers various new features and functionalities, such as simplified provisioning with the [Set up School PCs app](./use-set-up-school-pcs-app.md) or [Windows Configuration Designer](./set-up-students-pcs-to-join-domain.md), easier delivery of digital assessments with [Take a Test](./take-tests-in-windows.md), and faster sign-in performance for shared devices than ever before. These features work with all Windows for desktop editions, excluding Windows 10 Home. You can find more information on [windows.com](https://www.windows.com/).
-
-Windows 10 introduces two editions designed for the unique needs of K-12 institutions: [Windows 10 Pro Education](#windows-10-pro-education) and [Windows 10 Education](#windows-10-education). These editions provide education-specific default settings for the evolving landscape in K-12 education IT environments.
-
-## Windows 10 Pro Education
-
-Windows 10 Pro Education builds on the commercial version of Windows 10 Pro and provides important management controls needed in schools. Windows 10 Pro Education is a variant of Windows 10 Pro that provides education-specific default settings. These default settings disable tips, tricks and suggestions & Microsoft Store suggestions. More detailed information on these default settings is available in [Manage Windows 10 and Microsoft Store tips, tricks, and suggestions](/windows/configuration/manage-tips-and-suggestions).
-
-Windows 10 Pro Education is available on new devices pre-installed with Windows 10, version 1607 or newer versions that are purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future).
-
-Existing devices running Windows 10 Pro, currently activated with the original OEM digital product key and purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future), will upgrade automatically to Windows 10 Pro Education as part of the Windows 10, version 1607 installation.
-
-Customers with Academic Volume Licensing agreements with rights for Windows can get Windows 10 Pro Education through the [Volume Licensing Service Center](https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx).
-
-Customers who deploy Windows 10 Pro are able to configure the product to have similar feature settings to Windows 10 Pro Education using policies. More detailed information on these policies and the configuration steps required is available in [Manage Windows 10 and Microsoft Store tips, tricks, and suggestions](/windows/configuration/manage-tips-and-suggestions). We recommend that K-12 customers using commercial Windows 10 Pro read the [document](/windows/configuration/manage-tips-and-suggestions) and apply desired settings for your environment.
-
-## Windows 10 Education
-
-Windows 10 Education builds on Windows 10 Enterprise and provides the enterprise-grade manageability and security desired by many schools. Windows 10 Education is effectively a variant of Windows 10 Enterprise that provides education-specific default settings. These default settings disable tips, tricks and suggestions & Microsoft Store suggestions. More detailed information on these default settings is available in [Manage Windows 10 and Microsoft Store tips, tricks, and suggestions](/windows/configuration/manage-tips-and-suggestions).
-
-Windows 10 Education is available through Microsoft Volume Licensing. Customers who are already running Windows 10 Education can upgrade to Windows 10, version 1607 or newer versions through Windows Update or from the [Volume Licensing Service Center](https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx). We recommend Windows 10 Education to all K-12 customers as it provides the most complete and secure edition for education environments. If you don't have access to Windows 10 Education, contact your Microsoft representative or see more information [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=822628).
