Pre-provisioning mode takes a lot of time while running the ‘Account Setup’ phase because of app validation, etc. So in a scenario where Loaner devices (short term use) are required to be provisioned, Pre-provisioning takes a long time and is not a preferred option. I think this is where we are pivoting to use Self deployment method. It finishes the ESP pretty fast when the device is handed over to a user. Can you provide any inputs or suggestions based on your experience with building Loaner devices using Autopilot? Thank you.

Consider W365 Cloud PC's for temp loaner PC's with maybe a BYOD device

abhiimanurkar Mark's suggestion is a good option - would this work for you, or do you see challenges with this?
