Questions on Win 10
AutoPilot refers to a collection of modern deployment solutions. Under this umbrella, there is a deployment solution for setting up school PCs.
For any AutoPilot solution to work, internet connection is mandatory. AutoPilot configs from the cloud can't take effect without connectivity.
Big OEMs such as Lenovo, HP, Dell, etc are part of the first wave of supporters and the earliest of these will start supporting in eary fall, is what we are working towards. We hope that in/by 2018, all OEMs will support AutoPilot.
for devices that have win 10 RS2 build, you can use a powershell script to then deploy via AutoPilot.
What about Windows 10 S? Are updates any faster than Win 10?
Do you need SCCM for Windows 10 S? I know you need sccm for Win 10 for optimal deployment.
Do you need internet access for shared PC configuration on Windows 10 and 10 S?
Hi Julia, For the shared PC configuration, once you have the config in the USB stick, you dont need internet access from then on.
That's odd because when I set up my devices with Set Up School PCs, I could only sign in as a student if the laptop was connected. It wouldn't recognize the user otherwise...Any insight?
When using Azure AD, the first logon for a user will require internet access to validate the credentials. After that, cached credentials can be used to log on. It's still a good idea to have some amount of internet connectivity when using Azure AD.

ConfigMgr does not support Windows 10 S, you can manage it via MDM channel.
Do you have any other info on:
