## What you need to know

What does a pre-provisioning success screen establish when the Enrollment Status Page is disabled?

## Potentially affected

Apply this check to the technician phase of Windows Autopilot pre-provisioning. Use the intended device and user assignments for the approved deployment when deciding what must be ready before handoff.

## DSE recommendation

DSE recommends defining a technician handoff checklist around the required payload and its actual installation state.

## Source facts

With the Enrollment Status Page disabled, Autopilot can display Reseal before the technician phase finishes applying software and configuration. Microsoft states that this success screen confirms enrollment, rather than necessarily confirming completion of technician provisioning. The technician phase installs device-targeted applications and device-context applications assigned to the preassigned user; other user-targeted policies wait for sign-in.

## Applicability

Apply this check to the technician phase of Windows Autopilot pre-provisioning. Use the intended device and user assignments for the approved deployment when deciding what must be ready before handoff.

## DSE recommendation

DSE recommends defining a technician handoff checklist around the required payload and its actual installation state. Keep enrollment success as one item in that checklist. Confirm the intended enrollment-page policy and preassigned user before provisioning, then record which required items belong to the technician phase and which belong to the later user phase.

## Verification

Use an approved pilot to inspect the required application and configuration outcomes before resealing. Compare the observed result with the phase-specific checklist and retain the relevant deployment evidence. Investigate unfinished technician items before shipment, and have the recipient complete the separately documented user-phase checks when the device is issued.
