Multiple autopilot profiles in TS for existing devices
as above - great points
I think a key thing to consider is to remove the mindset of custom images. They are no longer a great way to manage a device - Image native as possible (Autopilot ready from OEM is best) then layer on your Apps and Config
Hi Guys!
thank you all for clarification of my doubts and asks.
Finally I was able to deploy my custom image on VMs and run through autopilot with co-management and some applications installation using PROVISIONTS parameter and this work fine. However I have additional questions and concerns.
1. My custom image contains a set of preinstalled OS languages. When I deploy that image through SCCM after installation I can see menu that allows me to configure Windows with one of preinstalled language. However when I run task sequence with preparation for autopilot (sysprep at the end) I don't see this menu - is there a possibility to configure that setting to allow user to choose Windows language?
2. Do I need to do any additional steps before I run Autopilot Reset in order to configure previously autopiloted device again? I am asking because I try to do this with one of my machine - the process resets my machine, reinstalls Windows and now all steps under "Device Setup" are in "Identifying" state for a couple of hours.
Thank you and best regards

And one more concern. Is there any option to restart to autopilot that preservs apps included to custom image (Office in my case)? I noticed that Autopilot Reset for example leaves included language packs but removes Office. I am not sure but it seems that the only way is to run TS for existng devices again.
