AutoPilot Profile ???

Hi All

 

I hope you are well.

 

Anyway, it has came to my attention that some of inexperienced Intune admins are using the AutoPilot Hardware Scripts at the OOBE screen. No issue there.

 

However, they are NOT checking that the devices actually sync to Intune > Devices > Enrollment > Devices

 

Furthermore, they then proceed with the OOBE enrollment WITHOUT waiting for an AutoPilot to be assigned.

 

The result is that devices never appear in:

 

  • Intune > Devices > Enrollment > Devices
  • No AutoPilot profile is assigned

Is there any way to avoid this?

 

Info appreciated

    If calling the wait time for profile assignment in the process is not an option, then either don’t allow the real time uploading by restricting permissions or put it in the process to upload before starting OOBE.

      Hi Buddy

       

      Can you elaborate on:

       

      • "don’t allow the real time uploading by restricting permissions"
      • "put it in the process to upload before starting OOBE"

        • "don’t allow the real time uploading by restricting permissions" - You can control the upload by managing access against the Microsoft Intune Powershell Enterprise App or control it through Conditional Access.
        • "put it in the process to upload before starting OOBE" - Have the engineers export and import the HardwareHashID outside the provisioning process. The easiest way would be to work out a process with your vendor to upload the hashids directly into your tenant before the devices are shipped out.
