Community ManagerIf you haven't checked it out yet, Windows AutoPilot enables you to set up and pre-configure new Windows 10 devices for your organization, right out of the box, without imaging, with no infrastructure to manage. It can also be used to easily reset, repurpose and recover existing devices. The best part? Your users can go through the process independently, without making any decisions and without needing to involve IT.

I have seen this in a demo at ignite with some further enhancements. However I do not see the autopilot in my intune trial, I still need to do this within store for business. I would like to show my security and mangment teams how we can use this to create standard users. Is there a time line until this will be updated or can I have my test tennant updated asap.
I'd also like to know when the Autopilot deployment program options will show up in the Intune portal as shown in Sidd's Ignite presentation. He mentioned it was in Public Preview yet I can't find details of the preview program? To clarify, I'm talking about the additional two options that appear under 'Device Enrollment > Windows Enrollment' within the Intune blade.
do you mean the abilty to turn of Windows hello on AdJoin?
Hi Anthony,
Autopilot is not part of intune..pheww. Instead you will find it in the Business store for windows: https://youtu.be/R499uODUlVg

When I buy a Win 10 device is has to have Win10 Pro on it to use Autopilot?
So when my user buys a Surface laptop (Windows 10 s), I first have to update it, by hand, to Windows10 Pro before I can use Autopilot?
In the end I want to have this device to be Windows10 enterprise (E5). What be be the best approach in this case?
Thanks, Mike
If the WIndows device is purchased with Windows 10 pro (1703 and above) you have the device hardware ID (From OEM or script) you can switch the version of Windows 10 to enterprise (Of course having the correct licenses)

Windows for IT Pros
Some of the benefits of Windows AutoPilot are:
At this moment we image our devices "by hand". Intune in place and everything else working fine. The problem we face are the Major updates. Like Anniversary and Creators. We have to apply them by hand (admin) or create a new image. Using Autopilot and it new tools, users can update their devices themself? Meaning, like a normal update? Pushed from Intune?
Thanks, Mike
Existing Windows 10 installations can be updated with the latest Windows 10 feature updates using Windows Update for Business; Windows Intune is used to configure the Windows Update for Business policies to specify when these feature updates should be installed (e.g. defer for six months, then install automatically). So yes, in this way the process works just like monthly cumulative updates.
As far as I am aware, this proces workt for Win 10 Pro but not for enterprise versions.
Yes you can on-board you own devices (1703 and above) using the hardware ID script. Found https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo/1.1/DisplayScript
Use you favourite (SCCM) device management tool to run the script to create the required csv file. (or do it manually). Import and away you go.
