The devices need to be configured and assigned to users as part of the Autopilot configuration.

Before you begin: You need the Hardware ID of the device to configure it in the Azure portal. To get the HWID, from the endpoint/device, open MicroSoft PowerShell as an Administrator and run the following commands:

"New-Item -Type Directory -Path "C:\HWID"
Set-Location -Path "C:\HWID"
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo
Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 -OutputFile AutoPilotHWID.csv
"

After successfully running these commands, the device details are fetched and stored in the output file AutoPilotHWID.csv.

  1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, from the left navigation pane, select Devices→Windows enrollment and under Windows Autopilot Deployment Program select Devices.
