Sign-in automatically after Hash upload to Intune?

Question

Dear all

I' am re-deploying existing Windows clients to Intune / Autopilot.

I need to automate this process entirely.

I install the OS from scratch and use (in the OOBE) the get-windowsautopilotinfo -online .... Powershell script to upload the hash to Intune.

How can i automatically sign-in after the reboot with a work or school account into Office 365 to get the client to complete the deployment process (Device preparation, Device Setup, ....)

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

@Vorbrodt IT GmbH, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

Based as I know, there are some functions for Windows Autopilot sign -in experience returned. Like Pre-populate the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) User Principal Name (UPN) under the pre-provisioning landing page and Azure AD sign in page. More details in the following link:

But for your request to automatically sign in user account, based on my research, I didn't find this feature. You can feedback to Intune uservoice to see if we can get this in the future:

Thanks for the understanding.

Answer 2

Dear all

This is sad news.

After the reboot, OOBE executes CloudExperienceHostBroker.exe.

I was wondering whether I could manipulate AutopilotDDSZTDFile.json to sign-in automatically.

Anyone tried this?

Thank you.

Answer 3

Why not using autopilot pre-provision (ex. whiteglove). After hash you reboot it once, hit win key 5 times and let it do its work.

Answer 4

Dear Pavel

Thank you for this excellent idea.

However I face 2 problems:

1. Autopilot pre-provisioning (White Glove) does not support (HyperV) VMs (error is: TPM attestation timed out).
2. How can I automate pressing 5 times the Windows key during OOBE?

Thanks again for any hints.
