Device enrollment overview Learn about the different options to enroll Windows devices in Microsoft Intune 11/09/2023 overview

Device enrollment overview

There are three main methods for joining Windows devices to Microsoft Entra ID and getting them enrolled and managed by Intune:

  • Automatic Intune enrollment via Microsoft Entra join happens when a user first turns on a device that is in out-of-box experience (OOBE), and selects the option to join Microsoft Entra ID. In this scenario, the user can customize certain Windows functionalities before reaching the desktop, and becomes a local administrator of the device. This option isn't an ideal enrollment method for education devices
  • Bulk enrollment with provisioning packages. Provisioning packages are files that can be used to set up Windows devices, and can include information to connect to Wi-Fi networks and to join a Microsoft Entra tenant. Provisioning packages can be created using either Set Up School PCs or Windows Configuration Designer applications. These files can be applied during or after the out-of-box experience
  • Enrollment via Windows Autopilot. Windows Autopilot is a collection of cloud services to configure the out-of-box experience, enabling light-touch or zero-touch deployment scenarios. Windows Autopilot simplifies the Windows device lifecycle, from initial deployment to end of life, for OEMs, resellers, IT administrators and end users

Choose the enrollment method

Windows Autopilot and the Set up School PCs app are usually the most efficient options for school environments. This table describes the ideal scenarios for using either option. It's recommended to review the table when planning your enrollment and deployment strategies.
