Windows Autopilot: What it is and how it works

Microsoft Ignite Session: THR2112

Windows 10 introduces new modern deployment capabilities, called Windows AutoPilot, that leverage the cloud to automate the configuration of new PCs without any need for IT to even touch the computer. In this session, you'll learn about Windows AutoPilot and the key cloud-based scenarios that it enables.

Does windows auto pilot deployment support by Dell workstations?? does it have any specific hardware requirements??

[ElSivar]

What about other automation used in small/medium/large such as application (+legacy), registry changes, additional files required for a lot of Enterprise automation? how to we get blob-ware placed by Microsoft removed in the process? how do we keep a feel/look for every user like start menu, pin apps, etc? in a highly secure environment, what URL/domain would need to be white-listed for the device to connect and download policies?

[KoshV]

Is it possible to deploy applications using this service in same way like SCCM does ?

@Microsoft Mechanics May I have that desk?

[sysadminlab]

What happens if the user skips AutoPilot "wizard" by not connecting the laptop to any Wifi network? Will it provision as a normal Windows 10 with a local username/password?

[ianweekes]

if the machine is on the network and does not allow direct connection to the internet and they have to go through a PAC file / Proxy

[groMMit]

How without a deployment image how do we get rid of all the crud that OEM's place on devices?
