A very short post to share here based on something I was asked recently. The query below will present you ALL devices which ARE registered for Windows Autopilot, but excluding ones with a specific group tag. I’m sharing this one as it’s not quite as obvious as you may immediately think and it might save…
In Configuration Manager Current Branch* we have a report which automatically gathers the Windows Autopilot hardware hashes and other information. This allows us to handily export the report into a CSV and hey presto it’s in the correct format to upload straight into Autopilot. I wrote it up at the time of the tech preview…
Hopefully, no one will ever need to read this, but I had a weird issue today. I’ve never had this before with Configuration Manager or any other app for that. I use a lab based on virtual machines and at the end of each day the VMs are put into a saved state as the…

Servicing of Microsoft Windows in many cases has been overlooked after that initial upgrade from earlier versions. Whilst many have engaged into the concept of servicing, many haven’t so I wanted to put an analogy…
This post is simply a step by step guide to help you set up the Intune Connector for Active Directory (to use its proper name) otherwise known as the AD hybrid join connector for Windows Autopilot. Whatever you’re calling it, it’s the connector that we need to install on one of our servers to act…
