Enroll a Windows 10 device

The following sections describes how to enroll a Windows 10 device with Snow Device Manager using one of the following enrollment methods.

Out of the Box Experience

When using the Out of the Box Experience enrollment method, the device is enrolled before usage. When a device is started for the very first time, during setup, the end user is prompted to provide Azure AD credentials. If authenticated, the user must accept the Terms of Use in order to proceed. Once accepted, the device will automatically get enrolled with Snow Device Manager and associated with the authenticated user.

To enroll a device with the Our of the Box Experience enrollment method:

1. During setup, enter the Azure AD credentials.

2. Read the Terms of Use and then click Accept.

Post Azure AD Join

When a device is enrolled with the Post Azure AD Join enrollment method, the user signs in with a Work or school account using Azure AD credentials after installation and setup of the device.

To enroll a device with the Post Azure AD Join enrollment method:

1. Click the link provided by Snow Device Manager or navigate to Settings, and then Accounts, Access work or school.

2. Click Connect.

   

3. Click Join this device to Azure Active Directory.

Privately owned devices

A user with a personal device can get access to company resources by signing in with a Work or school account using Azure AD credentials.
