Software license F9 Microsoft Autopilot for Pre-provisioned Deployment (SC-ALL-AUTOPDEP)

Microsoft Autopilot for Pre-provisioned Deployment distributed by F9 (SC-ALL-AUTOPDEP) is a software licensing and service offering that enables IT teams to prepare Windows devices before handing them to end users. The solution uses Windows Autopilot to register devices with Azure Active Directory and a device management platform such as Microsoft Intune, ensuring devices boot into a preconfigured state that includes policies, applications and settings. The offering includes device power-on testing, collection of Autopilot registration data, registration to the Autopilot service, and a pre-provisioning workflow that starts the device, connects it to the network, runs Autopilot provisioning and reseals the device for shipment or pickup.

Advantages

This F9 Autopilot offering centralizes and automates initial device configuration to reduce manual setup time at distribution points. It supports bulk rollouts by collecting required device information and performing registration to the Windows Autopilot deployment service. The service includes device DOA power-on testing and optional use of customer-provided Group Tag identifiers during registration. Activation and registration steps are handled in coordination with the customer’s Global Admin to ensure proper tenant and domain linkage.

Suitable for

• Large-scale device rollouts in enterprises and educational institutions
• Corporate onboarding where devices must be delivered preconfigured to employees
• IT environments using Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Intune or an Autopilot-compatible management platform
• Reseller or logistics workflows that require resealed, provisioned devices for shipment

Key specifications

• Pre-provisioning workflow: device startup, network connection, Autopilot provisioning, reseal
• Service steps included: device DOA power-on testing; Autopilot data collection; Autopilot registration
• Requirement: device runs a supported version of Windows 11 and is network-capable for registration
• Requirement: customer must have Azure Active Directory and a device management platform that supports Autopilot (for example Microsoft Intune)
• Optional: customer-provided Group Tag identifier can be used during registration
• Typical lead time for pre-installation services: 2–4 business days (may vary by order size and scope)
• Service activation required prior to first order: Autopilot Service Activation form and Global Admin approval

How to use

Before placing the first order, complete the Autopilot Service Activation form with customer details, domain and Tenant ID and the email of a user with Global Admin rights so F9 can request necessary permissions. Provide any Group Tag identifiers or additional instructions in the order line’s additional text field. After activation, submit orders referencing the pre-provisioned deployment service. F9 conducts DOA testing, collects Autopilot registration information, registers the devices to the customer tenant and performs the pre-provisioning sequence that applies policies, apps and settings, then reseals the device for delivery.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the target devices run a supported Windows 11 build, confirm that Azure AD and an Autopilot-compatible device management solution (such as Microsoft Intune) are available, and supply the customer domain, Tenant ID and any Group Tag identifiers when ordering. Allow 2–4 business days for typical pre-installation processing, and coordinate with your Global Admin to approve the F9 permission request during activation.
