Upload device IDs and configure 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 Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) portal to claim the device ownership.
To upload the devices IDs, follow the below-mentioned steps:
1. Log into Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) portal.
2. Go to Devices > Windows > Windows Enrollment > Devices > Import.
The .csv file should have the following details:
*\<Serial Number\>, \<Windows Product ID\>, \<Hardware Hash\>, (optional \<Group Tag\)
IT administrators can then use the Manage option on the Store for Business portal to create an AutoPilot deployment profile and assign it to the device. This profile includes instructions to either turn the setup ON or OFF for features like OEM Registration, Privacy Settings or Local Admin Account after the device is switched after the unboxing.
To deploy a AutoPilot profile, follow the below-mentioned steps:
1. Log into Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) portal.
2. Click Devices > Windows > Windows Enrollment > Deployment Profiles.
3. Select the created profile > Assignments > Select groups to include > Select the group and click Select.
To create a group on Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) Home, click 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 devices will get added to it.
