Phase 1 - Harvest Hardware IDs for Windows Autopilot

For each new computer, please perform the following steps:

1. Boot up the new computer. (Make sure the computer is plugged in.)

2. When prompted for the username, give it a name such as tempadminuser and a password. (Once we are done with harvesting the hardware ID of this machine, we will do an OOBE reset in the next phase.)

3. Be sure to connect the machine to the Internet.

4. Make note of the Service Tag Number of this machine. Henceforth, we will refer to this as the {service-tag-number} and we will use it later to name our output file.

5. Harvesting the Hardware ID

   1. Launch PowerShell with elevated administrator privileges.
   2. Execute the following PowerShell commands:
      • Answer "Yes" if you get prompted.
      • Replace {service-tag-number} accordingly.
        
        

      Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
      
      md C:\hardwareid
      
      cd C:\hardwareid
      
      Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo
      
      Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 -OutputFile {service-tag-number}.csv

6. Copy the resulting C:\hardwareid\{service-tag-number}.csv file to my OneDrive shared folder.

7. You can now shut down this computer.

8. Repeat these steps for the next computer.

Note

Once we have attained the {service-tag-number}.csv for all computers, I will take care of the device enrollment and user assignment from my end.

I will inform you when we are ready to begin the next phase.
