Question to Autopilot
I am currently preparing for the deployment of Intune. Since the devices are being removed from the on-premise domain and will only be integrated into Entra / Intune, we are resetting them. During the reinstallation, I can integrate the device into Entra / Intune by entering the user's details (including email). However, I can also integrate the devices beforehand using Autopilot. Both methods lead to the same goal. What exactly is the advantage of Autopilot?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you
But if I specify during the initial Windows configuration that it is a business device and provide my business email, I arrive at a similar result without autopilot.
Do I have a mistaken thought here?
Take a look at this:
- Zero-Touch Deployment
- Autopilot automates the setup process, allowing devices to be pre-configured before users receive them.
- Users simply power on the device, connect to the internet, and sign in, no IT intervention required.
- Standardized Configuration
- Ensures all devices follow a consistent setup, applying policies, security settings, and applications automatically.
- Reduces human errors compared to manual enrollment.
- Automatic Enrollment into Intune
- Devices are auto-enrolled into Intune without requiring manual input.
- Policies and apps are pushed immediately upon first login.
- Improved Security & Compliance
- Devices are pre-registered with Entra ID, ensuring they meet security requirements before users access them.
- Reduces the risk of unauthorized devices joining the network.
- Efficient Device Lifecycle Management
- Supports reset, repurpose, and recovery of devices without needing full reinstallation.
- IT teams can remotely wipe and reconfigure devices when needed.
