Auto Provisioning Windows Devices with JumpCloud

In a modern way with nearly zero-touch.

The “Problem” I Want to Solve

The biggest strength of JumpCloud is the capability of managing both Apple & Windows devices under the same roof.

While Apple MDM made things much easier and streamlined for devices running on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

So, What about Windows devices?

The Goal I Want to Achieve

Well, Windows land isn’t inadequate for solutions like Windows Auto Pilot (with Intune).

What if, we just wanted something easy-going, flexible and highly customisable?

That said, let’s put it in a pragmatic manner — I call it, to provision Windows devices in a modern way:

  • Without signing up with Intune, accompanied by the MSFT enterprise subscriptions.
  • Provide an open-the-box experience for onboarding remote co-workers — across continents and time zones.
  • Archive a LiteTouch / ZeroTouch Windows provisioning experience for the IT folks — to save precious man hours.
  • Most importantly — to enforce the security policies and push the managed software with full transparency (to the end users) on D-day.

The Solution I came out with

The high-level design

What to try out?

Head over to my repo and give it a go!

Enjoy provisioning!
