Windows Autopilot: notes from the field

It is a different scenario, not better, not worse. Task sequence is an orchestrated sequence of actions, Autopilot a collection of technologies used to join your device to Azure AD, enrols it in Intune and then can control certain settings through ESP. The message we wanted to share in this session is that if you're currently using tools like task sequences and Configuration Manager for image-based deployment or app sequences, Windows Autopilot should not be considered as a direct replacement to that. If your organization has complex applications or need to install dozens of apps for a new device provisioning have a look to Co-management settings: Windows Autopilot with co-management - Microsoft Community Hub Another option to look into is just installing a small core set of apps and a few other must-have apps. Then, let the users self-select additional apps they might need using the company portal. If users are okay installing apps with Google Play on Android or the App Store on iOS, there are probably happy to self-select a few apps they need from the company portal and Windows too

Again not better, not worse. There is no specific guidance outside of using what makes more sense for your organization! We are constantly working to improve experiences, stay tuned!
