Autopilot

Windows Autopilot is Microsoft's zero-touch provisioning service for new Windows devices. The hardware hash of a device is registered against a tenant (usually by the OEM at procurement), and on first power-on the device enrols itself in Microsoft Intune, joins Microsoft Entra ID, and pulls down corporate configuration, apps, and security baselines — without IT touching the device. Supports user-driven, self-deploying, pre-provisioning (white glove), and existing-device deployment scenarios. Replaces traditional imaging via Configuration Manager or MDT, and is the modern default for Windows endpoint provisioning in Microsoft 365 estates.
