Helping IT send and provision business PCs at home to work securely during COVID-19
We realize that many of you have stepped up to maintain business continuity while maintaining your own health and that of your loved ones. After adapting to the sudden wave of employees working from home, many organizations are now procuring new devices for end users who may not have a business-ready device at home. This time the challenge for both IT and employees is that there is no IT helpdesk they can walk up to and collect their pre-configured PCs. Thanks to Windows Autopilot, you can procure a new device from an OEM or reseller and have that device shipped directly to the user’s home, then automatically provision the right settings, apps, and resource access upon power-on and login. If, like many businesses we’re helping right now, you have never done this before, there are a few pre-requisites you may need to set up. That said, we want you to know that you are not alone. Whether you have prior experience with enabling remote work or are stepping up to a new challenge, you can count on several Microsoft resources to help you succeed, including access to Microsoft FastTrack experts and 24/7 technical support at no additional cost with most Microsoft 365 and EMS licenses.

The global health crisis has made many businesses look for ‘easy wins’ in the cloud to complement their existing device management infrastructure. Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune are now a part of a single solution called Microsoft Endpoint Manager and what this means to businesses using on-premises Configuration Manager is that they are able to use Microsoft Intune cloud services to co-manage Windows 10 devices without additional licensing costs. Co-management may be an attractive technology for devices managed by Configuration Manager that will no longer be on-premises. By current expert estimates, the COVID-19 pandemic may result in people working from home for weeks and their PCs may not “check in” to the corporate network. Previous articles in this series discussed some ideas to enable personal PCs and pre-provision new business PCs for remote users. Now let’s talk about how you can manage work devices being used remotely to maintain their health and security using Configuration Manager and the Microsoft cloud.

After adapting to the sudden wave of employees working from home, many organizations are now procuring new devices for end users who may not have a business-ready device at home. What is different this time is that due to "shelter at home" orders, they cannot simply walk up to the Tech Helpdesk and collect their pre-configured PCs. Thanks to Windows Autopilot, you can procure a new device from an OEM or reseller and have that device shipped directly to the user’s home, then automatically provision the right settings, apps, and resource access upon power-on and login. People can be not only productive but also protected within minutes, using automatic enrollment in cloud management tools such as Microsoft Endpoint Manager. If, like many businesses we’re helping right now, you have never done this before, there are a few pre-requisites you may need to set up. That said, we want you to know that you are not alone.
