Get your users ready to use devices

Once a Microsoft Managed Desktop device is in the hands of your user, getting started is fast and easy. Devices come pre-configured with the current version of Windows and configurations, and apps are installed from the cloud as the user completes setup.

To make getting started even easier, we offer a guide that walks your users through the initial setup. The guide provides helpful resources for both the setup, and for use later, if needed. You can customize the following guide to include certain details specific to your organization. You then distribute the guide directly to your users along with their device.

Prepare the guide

To prepare the guide:

1. Download the Microsoft Managed Desktop - Get started with your device guide.
2. Use any app capable of opening PDF files to enter details relevant to your organization:
   • The name of the network your users should connect to in order to continue setup (Step 3 in the guide).
   • The name of your organization's Azure tenant account (Step 4 in the guide).
   • Contact information for your organization's internal IT support (top of second page).
3. Save the edited PDF, and then distribute to your users.

Ready-to-use guide

We also provide a more generic version of the guide for those organizations that don't need to customize it.

Just download the Microsoft Managed Desktop - Get started with your device (ready to use) guide.

At this point, you're ready to move on to deploying apps.
