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...

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?

Microsoftastansbery1010 , great points, a new doc will be published very soon comparing Business and Enterprise. Meantime, a few top level points are; when a business Cloud PC gets Intune enrolled it gets treated exactly like a physical PC, when an Enterprise Cloud PC gets provisioned then Intune (MEM) has enlightenment that this is a Cloud PC providing specialized capabilities for remote actions like resize and reprovision, access two special Endpoint Analytic reports specific to Windows 365, ability to monitor failed connections are a few differences.
- Does that mean when a W365 Business Cloud PC gets Intune enrolled it can use a pre-determined image with all needed business applications installed? Kind of like white glove autopilot. So it is ready for the user it is provisioned for without any need to do any setup?
- EricOrmanNo, the image is generic, you'll have to deploy apps, settings, etc via Intune or have the user that is assigned the Business Cloud PC manually install since they are also have local Admin rights.
