# Enrollment with provisioning packages
Enrolling devices with provisioning packages is an efficient way to deploy a large number of Windows devices. Some of the benefits of provisioning packages are:
- There are no particular hardware dependencies on the devices to complete the enrollment process
- Devices don't need to be registered in advance
- Enrollment is a simple task: just open a provisioning package and the process is automated
You can create provisioning packages using either **Set Up School PCs** or **Windows Configuration Designer** applications, which are described in the following sections.
## Set up School PCs
With Set up School PCs, you can create a package containing the most common device configurations that students need, and enroll devices in Intune. The package is saved on a USB stick, which can then be plugged into devices during OOBE. Applications and settings will be automatically applied to the devices, including the Azure AD join and Intune enrollment process.
### Create a provisioning package
The Set Up School PCs app guides you through configuration choices for school-owned devices.

> [!CAUTION]
> If you are creating a provisioning package for **Windows 11 SE** devices, ensure to select the correct *OS version* in the *Configure device settings* page.
Set Up School PCs will configure many settings, allowing you to optimize devices for shared use and other scenarios.
For more information on prerequisites, configuration, and recommendations, see [Use the Set Up School PCs app][EDU-1].
> [!TIP]
> To learn more and practice with Set up School PCs, try the Set Up School PCs demo, which provides detailed steps to create a provisioning package and deploy a device.
## Windows Configuration Designer
Windows Configuration Designer is especially useful in scenarios where a school needs to provision packages for both bring-you-own devices and school-owned devices. Differently from Set Up School PCs, Windows Configuration Designer doesn't offer a guided experience, and allows granular customizations, including the possibility to embed scripts in the package.

For more information, see [Install Windows Configuration Designer][WIN-1], which provides details about the app, its provisioning process, and considerations for its use.
## Enroll devices with the provisioning package
To provision Windows devices with provisioning packages, insert the USB stick containing the package during the out-of-box experience. The devices will read the content of the package, join Azure AD and automatically enroll in Intune.

## Next steps
With the devices joined to Azure AD tenant and managed by Intune, you can use Intune to maintain them and report on their status.
