Truly Remote Wiping and Setup
I'm looking for a way to wipe and re-configure my Win10/11 endpoints without losing remote access afterward. My endpoints are all AAD-joined and Intune (MEM)-managed with remote access through Connec...
I think we all were (incorrectly) assuming you were using Autopilot. At least I was
.The ESP will only start through OOBE with AAD-join or during the Autopilot process (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/enrollment/windows-enrollment-status). That probably explains why you need to sign in before anything happens. With Autopilot, the device configuration is applied before the first sign-in.
I'm also using a Win32 app packaged with the Intune App Wrapper. It's a simple installer. One double-click and it does the rest. No login is required for the app. All my apps are deployed to device groups, not user groups.
I set up a VM for testing this yesterday because it's starting to sound like I'm the only one having this problem. I'll watch my VM carefully today to make sure I'm not imaging things. In my experience, no Intune magic happens, no apps get installed, no policies get applied, until someone sits down at the machine and performs that first Windows login following a device wipe. After that, Intune kicks in and everything is good. Is that not how it works for everyone else? I'll confirm on my VM today and report back.
Thanks
