Can Autopilot be used with Windows 365 Business?
Just as the subject says. Can Autopilot be used with Windows 365 Business when you already have Microsoft 365 Business Premium for your company? Already have Azure Active Directory P1 with the Micros...

My approach would be to build a custom image, put it in the Shared Image Gallery and then choose that for your W365 machines (basically follow the same process as for AVD custom image development, remembering to take a snapshot before sysprep so you can then spin up a new VM from that snapshot for monthly updates etc.).

David Bubb Does that work with W365 Business though? That's the million dollar question. It should work with W365 Enterprise but the fact that there is no real documentation for W365 yet makes it harder to do.

astansbery1010 Ah, sorry, you are right; custom image is not supported in "Business" 😢

I just wish there was some real documentation on W365 instead of those of us trying to figure it out on our own.

What's even more annoying is the fact that if you don't need W365 Enterprise but have Microsoft 365 Business Premium and can/will use Endpoint Manager for device policies on your W365 Business VM's. Then give us actual outlined documentation foe W365 Business. They created a page for Enterprise with all the needed documentation??!! Then create one for W365 Business. That way we know what we can do and what we can't do!
Not everyone with less than 300 employees needs the full W365 Enterprise experience but still needs W365 cloud PC's that they can pre-provision with the installed applications they use on a daily basis.
How are people expected to configure anything without logging into each individual users VM and doing it manually?
