Windows 11

Modern device deployments often span distributed environments where devices are shipped directly to users and never handled by IT, requiring a zero-touch approach. In this module, you’ll work through a scenario-driven experience to learn how to prepare Windows 11 Pro devices for automatic provisioning, ensure they enroll and configure themselves at first sign-in, and apply consistent policies for apps, updates, and security.

Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

  • Analyze deployment constraints to determine when a zero-touch approach is required
  • Prepare Windows 11 Pro devices for zero-touch provisioning so they enroll and configure automatically at first user sign-in
  • Verify device enrollment and management state to confirm that configuration profiles and applications are applied as intended
  • Define update behavior for managed devices that maintains cohesion and compatibility while minimizing disruption
  • Apply and validate baseline security controls through policy to ensure consistent protection across the device lifecycle
  • Validate and troubleshoot a Windows 11 Pro deployment by interpreting management, update, and compliance signals to determine rollout readiness
