# 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 Microsoft Entra 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].

|
> To learn more and practice with Set up School PCs, try the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/interactive-demos/enroll-devices-at-scale" target="_blank"><u>Set Up School PCs demo</u></a>, 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 Microsoft Entra ID and automatically enroll in Intune.
|
|
All settings defined in the package and in Intune will be applied to the device, and the device will be ready to use.

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