What does Autopilot add to Intune

Copper Contributor

After some testing I do not see the advantage/benefits of deploying Autopilot.

To me it seems that if a user logs in on a new, unconfigured device with the Entra account we give them, configured in Intune, we end up with the same configuration as with using Autopilot, except of course for the things configured in the section Autopilot, so Deployment Profiles, Enrollment Status Page, etc.

I must be missing something?

@Mvandek2 Above all, the great advantage is also that when you reset it, it maintains a relationship with the business environment. 

The same is possible with Remote Wipe when you keep the enrollment state and associated user account; no Autopilot needed.
