Autopilot Self-Deploying mode - who uses the device?
hi folks,
we are testing to deploy new computers with Windows Autopilot in Self-Deploying mode which works quite fine. However if I take a look at those devices in Endpoint Manager, I have not found any way to see which user is using or has been using the device.
I have already found out that by design no primary user is assigned to the device in this deployment scenario. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/remote-actions/find-primary-user#who-is-assigned-as-the-primary-user
But there has to be a way to see which user is using the device? The other way around, if a user is logging into the machine, it also does not show up under the user's devices as well.
Thanks a lot

burningice Why are you using Self-deploying mode? If you are not using it for kiosk/shared machines, you should use user-driven mode instead.
Self-deploying mode does not presently associate a user with the device (since no user ID or password is specified as part of the process).
Happy to look for a solution on this.
JanBakkerOrphaned my primary motivation is to be easily able to deploy multiple machines without any user interaction (no keyboard or language selection etc.) prior to the final user login.
If I get a new batch of computers, we can easily prepare them without knowing who is gonna use them. Am I missing out on some similar user-driven functionality here?burningice
"Am I missing out on some similar user-driven functionality here? "Yes, you are missing the Windows Autopilot for pre-provisioned deployment (ex White Glove)
