Are there any recommendations on how to do bare-metal OS deployments, when you're on Intune + Autopilot?
Going through the OEM is not always possible and MDT is not supported for Windows 11. Running ConfigMgr just for OS Deployment does not make much sense either.
- RobdeRoosNov 29, 2023Iron ContributorWho is the dude from Houston that has a MDT alternative? Can anyone point me to that solution?
- Nathan_LockwoodNov 29, 2023Brass ContributorSome of the vendors like HP has some OEM recovery options where you can reload the device through BIOS or even setup a a custom solution hosted in Azure.

For bare-metal OS deployments, you have two options for getting devices registered into Autopilot: 1) manually pull each device's hardware hash from the device itself, and upload it into the Intune portal, or 2) create an Autopilot profile (assigned to the All Devices virtual group) with the option enabled to "convert" devices to Autopilot (i.e., register those devices). Option #1 is time consuming. Option #2 means that the first time the device boots up, it doesn't have the Autopilot experience (except, if you use the "Autopilot for existing devices" feature). Hope this helps, Justin! -- Hung - Char_CheesmanNov 29, 2023Bronze Contributor
