Upload device IDs, configure and AutoPilot deployment profile
When a new set of devices is purchased, the hardware vendor sends a list of device IDs to the IT Admin. This list can be uploaded on Azure AD portal to claim the device ownership.
To upload the devices IDs, follow these steps:
1. Log into Azure AD portal.
2. Go to Devices > Windows > Windows Enrollment > Devices > Import.
Note: The .csv file should have the following details:
<Serial Number>, <Windows Product ID>, <Hardware Hash>, (optional <Group Tag>)
Admin can then use Manage option on the Store for Business portal to create an AutoPilot deployment profile and assign them to the device. This profile includes instructions to either turn ON or OFF setup for features like OEM Registration, Privacy Settings or Local Admin Account after the device is switched after the unboxing.
To deploy an AutoPilot profile, follow these steps:
1. Log into Azure AD portal.
2. Click Devices > Windows > Windows Enrollment > Deployment Profiles.
3. Select the created profile > Assignments > Select groups to include > Select the group and click on Select.
Note:
- To create a group on Azure AD Home, click on Groups > New Group > Group Type select Security > Give a name and group description > Select Membership Type as Dynamic Device > Under Advanced rule for Add dynamic query add (device.devicePhysicalIDs -any (_ -contains "[ZTDID]")) and click Add query. Once done, a group will be created and all the AutoPilot device will get added into it.
