Add New Devices

To efficiently integrate new devices into Microsoft Intune, there are some important points to consider when placing an order. If these requirements are met, the devices will already be pre-provisioned for your tenant from the factory, and integration into Microsoft Intune will be seamless.

Requirements for ordering Autopilot devices:

• Windows 11 Pro License: The devices should have at least a valid Windows 11 Pro license.
• TPM 2.0 Module: All devices must have a TPM 2.0 module to meet security requirements.
• Pre-installed Windows: The devices should be delivered with a pre-installed Windows version.
• No Bloatware: Ideally the devices should not contain any pre-installed bloatware.

Add Devices Before Delivery

When you purchase an Autopilot device from a manufacturer, provide your TenantID when placing the order. This is the most convenient method, as the manufacturer registers the devices directly in your tenant.

You can communicate the device categories in Numiato directly to the hardware partner. The manufacturer then stores the corresponding category name as "OrderID". This means that the devices are already assigned to the desired category upon delivery.

After delivery, you simply need to turn on the device, and the entire configuration is automatically handled by Microsoft Intune. This means the devices can even be handed directly to teachers or students still in the packaging, and they configure themselves on first startup.

Add Devices After Delivery

Often smaller hardware retailers cannot pre-register the devices in your tenant. These retailers often still sell the devices as Autopilot devices. In that case, you should request a suitable .csv file from these retailers that contains one of the following data.

• Hardware Hash (this is not the serial number!)
• Microsoft Product Key ID (13 digits)

Once you have received the CSV file, import it into Numiato as follows:

1. Navigate to Numiato Device Management and select the Windows tab.
2. Click Import.
3. Select a device category — this is mandatory.
4. Upload the CSV file via drag-and-drop or the file picker.
5. Click Import to start the process.
6. You can monitor the import status in Status & History.

Add Existing Devices

To enroll existing devices in Microsoft Intune, there are several options. For schools, enrolling devices via Autopilot is most practical. This requires that existing devices be manually pre-registered. The "Hardware Hash" is determined from the devices. This is a long hash value determined via a script. The hashes are stored in a .CSV file. The following steps need to be completed:

1. Determine hardware hash
2. Submit hardware hash
3. Reset the computer

Already Installed Windows 10/11 Device

1. Download the following Autopilot Script.
2. Extract the script to an empty FAT32 formatted USB stick.
3. Run the file "StartAutopilot.bat" on the device you want to add.

4. The hardware hash will now be determined and saved to the computers.csv file. Once you see the green text, you can close the window.

   

5. A file called computers.csv should now be found on the USB stick. This should receive one additional entry per computer. Check this regularly when adding multiple computers with this method.

6. Import the file in Numiato: navigate to Numiato Device Management → Windows → Import, select a device category, and upload the CSV file. You can monitor the status in Status & History.
7. Reset the device completely. Choose one of the following methods:

Option A: Reinstall via USB Stick

1. Download the Media Creation Tool and create a bootable USB stick.
2. Boot from the USB stick.
3. Install Windows 10/11.
4. Go through the out-of-box experience (region, language, keyboard layout, Wi-Fi).
5. Sign in with an account to complete enrollment.

Option B: Reset via Settings

1. Open Settings → Update & Security.

   

2. Click Recovery → Reset this PC.

   

3. Select Remove everything.

   

4. Go through the out-of-box experience (region, language, keyboard layout, Wi-Fi).

5. Sign in with an account to complete enrollment.

Newly Delivered Windows 10/11 Device

Use this option if you want to enroll a new Windows 10/11 device that was not purchased as an Autopilot device.

1. Download the following Autopilot Script.
2. Extract the script to an empty FAT32 formatted USB stick and insert it into the device to be enrolled.

3. Start the new device until you see the following window.

   

4. Press Shift+F10/F11 simultaneously on the keyboard to open a CMD window.

   

5. Next, we need to find the drive letter for our USB drive. Enter DISKPART and then "list volume". We can see that the USB stick was assigned the letter "R".

   

6. Exit DISKPART by entering "EXIT".

   

7. Switch to that drive. Simply enter the drive letter followed by a colon.

   

8. Run the file "StartAutopilot.bat" on the device.

9. A file called computers.csv should now be found on the USB stick. This should receive one additional entry per computer. Check this regularly when adding multiple computers.
10. Import the file in Numiato: navigate to Numiato Device Management → Windows → Import, select a device category, and upload the CSV file. You can monitor the status in Status & History.
11. Go through the out-of-box experience. Here Windows will ask you, depending on settings and whether an Ethernet connection is present, about region, language, keyboard layout, and Wi-Fi.
12. Sign in with an account to complete enrollment.

macOS

Add New Devices

To enroll new macOS devices in Numiato, they must be ordered as Apple School Manager (ASM) devices. This allows the retailer to enroll the devices in your Apple School Manager. From there they are automatically synchronized with Numiato and can be categorized directly.

Add Existing Devices

If you have existing Mac devices that are not yet registered in Apple School Manager, these must be manually enrolled.

Preparation

1. Download the Apple Configurator app from the App Store on an iPhone or iPad. The app can also be installed on a personal device — no personal data is transferred and the device is not affected in any way.
2. Open the app and sign in with your Apple School Manager account. The account used requires the Gerätemanager role or higher in Apple School Manager.

Enroll the Device

1. Reset the Mac device to factory settings and click through the setup assistant until the Wi-Fi screen.
2. Hold the iPhone/iPad with Apple Configurator open close to the Mac (a few centimeters). The app will automatically detect the device via Bluetooth/NFC.
3. A prompt appears in the app — tap Add to [School Name] to enroll the device in your Apple School Manager.
4. Go to Apple School Manager and assign the Numiato MDM to the device.
5. The Mac will now display an Erase Mac button. Tap it so the device picks up the MDM assignment and restarts.

Categorize in Numiato

1. Wait until the device appears in the Numiato Device Management under unregistered devices.

   Tip

   Newly enrolled devices only appear in Numiato after a sync. Click Refresh in the Numiato Device Management to manually trigger a sync with Apple School Manager. This can be done at most once every 15 minutes.

2. Assign the device to a category.

3. Wait up to 15 minutes for the device to receive the new category assignment.
4. Commission the device.
