Windows AutoPilot introduces a faster, more reliable way to deploy Windows and applications to devices. It’s fair to say that configuring Windows OS on new devices is a frustrating process. That’s where Windows AutoPilot comes in. But what is AutoPilot? The Near Zero Touch end-to-end Windows device management solution allows you to streamline the bulk deployment, set-up, and configuration of new Windows devices in organisations, to ensure they’re corporate ready. AutoPilot also facilitates the ongoing easy management of devices through their entire life cycle, deployment to device retirement.
Why do we need Windows Azure AutoPilot?
One of the major challenges IT admins face is deploying and provisioning the Windows 10 devices required by the organisation’s employees. Windows AutoPilot simplifies Window device management with:
A one-time set-up
Admins no longer need to manually deploy Windows devices which involves activating the device, configuring device activation settings, creating user accounts, and deploying the necessary apps, profiles, and configuration.
Automated deployment of corporate resources
By integrating the Windows Azure AutoPilot portal, admins can ensure the apps and documents are also distributed to enrolled devices in bulk. This ensures the devices can be supplied directly to the employee without requiring any admin intervention.
Restrict administrator account creation
Using Windows AutoPilot can help restrict the creation of local administrator accounts on devices, ensuring only the IT team has control over admin permissions on these devices.
Simple process for end-users
End-user cloud automation is only valuable if it’s simple. And AutoPilot is the definition of simple. Users will take a total of two steps: connecting to the network and logging in.
Summary
AutoPilot is an incredibly valuable tool for IT professionals and businesses who want to save time, money, and frustrations during the device provisioning process. And, AutoPilot is added to the long list of Microsoft cloud solutions aimed at making life easier for business users.
