SCCM vs Autopilot
Hi All,
i hope i'am writing in the right section.
i have a request but before that let me explain the goal and what i'am looking for.
in My company , i passed by several migration , and i had to re-deploy machines using 2 ways , USB image and join to domain manually , or using SCCM Server thanks to PXE mode.
next migration i will be using Autopilot which i'am not familiar with .
the problem i'am facing is , to re-deploy machine , i had to wipe it , install an OS , and start the OS in configuration page then CTRL + SHIFT + D , and from another machine i have to go to Intinues and do lot of stufff there (' like machine tag , add autopilot etc ) and then , back to the machine to continue configuration.
i find this very long , and not practical specially if i have lot of machines to deploy in the same time.
my question is , is there a simple way to deploy big number of machines using with Autopilot n without doing all these steps i mentioned ,
i was thinking about , deploying USB image , then perform DSREGCMD /JOIN , to add machine to Azure , but i'am not sure if it is good solution.
Thank you in advance
Hy,
are you planning to stay hybrid or cloud only, I think that's the main question?
And if you have a large number of devices that are already in ConfigMgr, you could go straight ahead and take your information reagrding hashes from there as Rahul is also mantioning.
And yes, in order to redeploy them and use Auotpilot you need to reset them /oobe
Cloud only Devices:
consider to take a look and see Device Praparation or Autopilot v2
Good luck!
Hi there, if have exist devices in Intune that and want them to register in to autopilot, the easy way to do that is to create a Windows Autopilot deployment profile and set Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot to Yes.
first , thank you very much.
second , it will be a full migration to a new company , new domain.
your suggestion is totally useful.
in my case what i'am struggling with is , all machines are existing ones , which i mean i will have to install w11 OS fresh installation , than Autopilot process. and i find it very long process to deploy all the machines , while in the past with SCCM using PXE , i could deploy lot of number of machines at once , joind to domain during the TS , easier and faster .
i am wondering if there is another way to get ISO image with Autopilot in it ( sorry i'm new in Intunes, Azure and cloud solution ) to make imaging machine little bit faster than this wayy
Why is there a need to re-install Windows OS? Do the devices don’t have a WinRE?
If the devices are already reporting to ConfigMgr, then you can extract the hardware hash ids from inventory report and import them in the relevant Intune tenant. Then reset the device and start provisioning. Alternatively, you can consider using Autopilot Device Preparation which doesn’t importing hardware hash ids.
