Windows Autopilot and Configuration Management Client Installation Methods
- Nov 15, 2024
Since we are Hybrid joined I did the following:
- Create a custom Win32 app in tune and delivery as a blocking app in ESP phase of autopilot
- This app creates a scheduled task that runs on next reboot and installs the MECM agent on next boot then disables itselfWorks great!

Would you mind sharing your code for this? 😁I tried the same route but through scripts in Intune instead. Your solution sounds more stable.

I used shockotechcom solution: - Create a custom Win32 app in tune and delivery as a blocking app in ESP phase of autopilot
- This app creates a scheduled task that runs on next reboot and installs the MECM agent on next boot then disables itself. It works. But, knowing Config Manager, of some reason it fails, you have to make sure that you review logs and verify that client gets installed. I had couple of issues where it failed with task scheduler to install and I had to run a manual install then. Seems like your environment has to be perfect, firewall rules, DNS, all the prereq. etc.
