Hide change account options – what it actually does after MC288489

Question

AutoPilot Deployment Profile Question – after MC288489

“Hide change account options” – what it actually does after MC288489? Which account will be prevented to change when user-device assignment in pre-enrolment doesn’t work anymore?

“Options to change account and start over with a different account appear, respectively, during initial device setup on the company sign-in page, and on the domain error page. To hide these options, you must configure company branding in Azure Active Directory (requires Windows 10, 1809 or later, or Windows 11).”

We set "Hide" as value for "Hide change account option". The result is: any user from the org can put any UPN in the sign-in screen and enrol the device.

Before MC288489 the experience was: only user assigned to the device in the Windows AutoPilot was able to enrol the device. No option to change account was present on the screen - see attached.

If this is the result of the MC288489 - then Microsoft please: 1. Never do it without notice in advance (3 months+) 2. Correct the interface in MEM accordingly 3. Correct the docs accordingly on end-date 4. Communicate the impact honestly & properly
