Enroll Windows MDM Using a Provisioning Package

Overview

Bulk enrollment with Windows MDM improves the onboarding process for IT Admins by simplifying and expediting device enrollment of Windows 10/11 laptop and desktop devices.

Users can download a XML archive containing configuration files, import the files in Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (WCD), export the provisioning package to a USB flash drive, start the device, enroll in MDM, download the Agent, and access the device with a dynamically created account readily available on the Home screen.

Features

Create a pre-configured installation enrollment provisioning package file (.ppkg) and deploy to all Windows 10 and 11 endpoints.
Highly scalable: bulk enroll devices with the same configuration files quickly and efficiently.
Reduce the time it takes to deploy from hours to minutes.
Reduce the calls to Support for manual deployments.
