Just realized what time it is, was about to research "Twitch and YouTube live gaming streaming" ...But time to finish woop, off to move from PC onto Sofa on the other side of the room

End of year PTO for me. Rethinking home office layout as 2022 we will be shifting gears and i will need some bench space for working on Autopilot deployment. Our E5 licenses were approved so major security overhaul next year

Nice - We just migrated to M365 Business Premium which includes a lot of those E5 features for enterprises.
So I'm in the same boat as you - time to up our game. -

Autopilot - been trying to sort out a USB option to run the hardware ID… not had any success… not totall happy with the process yet.
-
@gjacobse saw your earlier post will be looking into that

Happy to share what I have learned,… and learn if there is a better way.

Why not use the popular PS module? It'll grab the hash and register it in Autopilot.
Otherwise, I have a script I made somewhere made to be ran from USB that will take the hash, send it to an Azure Storage Table to await processing by an Azure Function that registers it into autopilot if you're looking for a fully automated solution other than running the script itself.

We have this wonderful security policy- we turn off powershell scripting- i have to got through a very manual process…
I found a set up, which I think I linked previous- that didn’t work… but it is possible I missed something on it. I’ll have to see if I can spin up my laptop here at the hotel and read back my comments to verify…
With scripting turned off- and literally Policed by systems being scanned a third party for script, it’s a bit frustrating.

Sadly - it seems like your job is basically to be shadow IT inside your own IT department.
You want to do things efficiently, but the powers that be don't see the value in that - for you, perhaps it really is time to move on.

Do you have or have you linked to the script? Just curious if I have missed it here. I am curious to compare / test it.

Then the only thing to do is to reimage every device using an ISO or image with the Autopilot profile baked in. Make sure the Autopilot profile is set to register devices in Autopilot. If they want bullshit policies that actually decrease security, then it's going to get inconvenient for everyone.

That’s an interesting option. Might you have details on that?

It looks like that PowerShell module you were looking into not so long ago may work. I did it manually instead of using that, I forget now why I decided to do it that way, maybe it was cleaner I forget. But essentially all you need to do is create an Windows installer ISO of an up to date Win10/11 install with the Autopilot profile xml in a specific Windows folder.
I'd share the ones I made but they are Win10/11 enterprise with activation and autopilot profile baked in. I can share the procedure I created though, but won't get a chance until later today or tomorrow... if that PS module method is of no interest to you.

Finally a clear night, but late and cold outside (8c), no prep done. So I'm sitting inside with the telescope pointing out the window, tracking a binary star (Alpheratz) I can see with the Fuji camera attached.
The tracking is a little bit off because I'm very limited to the stars I could use for the auto 2 star alignment. I also can't get great focus going through glass, but when I open the door for a sec, it's good then. No big deal, other than that it's working perfectly in KStars / Ekos on the R-Pi!

Happy New Year -
Yes, I am interested in your procedure when you get time. Looks like we are using Windows Business - but I don't expect the procedure building being different.I'm also curious how you built the ISO with XML profile.
TIA

You can inject an XML into the ISO before you burn it - use it...
or if using USB media - it's just another file on the stick. -

I think injecting the XML into the ISO is one thing - and yea do-able - I'll go back to read that later. It maybe a case of crossing thoughts between the ISO (image) and the IMAGE process used to built / rebuilt a device. Which is a totally different IMAGE process / object.
On a new device - we will OEM install Win10 (and Chrome, Updates, MitelConnect, VPN client, etc) and then IMAGE it with Macrium Reflect. Once that is done - I don't know that you can inject the needed XML file as it in a different 'state'.

I didn't think that was how Autopilot worked? But then - I'm a TOTAL and utter noob on autopilot.

@dashrender as am I and still reading up on it/figuring it out
