One additional question is when will the "Allow White Glove OOBE" option allow for connectivity over WiFi. At present this option the device needs to be connected via a LAN connection. Most Surface devices do not have a network port leaving us admins having to rely on a usb network adaptor or a dock.
- Hi Chris, thanks for the great question. Currently it actually is possible to do pre-provisioning (White Glove) via WiFi, but it's a bit unintuitive. The technician can either connect to a WiFi network on the first page of OOBE via an admin cmd prompt, or click through a couple pages of OOBE until WiFi selection is asked, and then after network connection is acquired, click the Windows key 5x and go through pre-provisioning. We currently don't have plans to 'naturally' incorporate the WiFi selection page to the pre-provisioning flow, but that's great feedback, and we'll definitely look into that. Thanks again!
- Thanks i will have to test this out. I will have to review our steps and go through them again. We had encountered this recently and posed this question recently to a MS fast track team member we were working with and we were informed it is not possible. Maybe it has now changed.
