The agent-based enrollment method now uses VMware Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub (formerly known as AWAgent). Currently, the primary use case for agent-based enrollment is existing company-owned or BYOD devices that the end user self-onboards. As a result, the workflow is similar to the standard onboarding workflows for iOS and Android devices. To walk through this enrollment workflow, see the article Enrolling Your Windows 10 Device with a Basic Account.[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”Microsoft Azure Active Directory Enrollment”]
Workspace ONE UEM integrates with Azure AD, providing a robust selection of onboarding workflows that apply to a wide range of Windows 10 use cases. However, Azure licensing requirements stipulate that you must purchase an additional Azure AD Premium license to complete this integration. Enterprises that are leveraging Azure AD typically use one of the following onboarding options for corporate-owned devices:
- Enrolling using Out-of-Box-Experience
- Enrolling using Azure AD Join
- Enrolling with AutoPilot
- Enrolling using On-Premises Active Directory Domain
For personal-owned (BYOD) devices:
- Enrolling using Azure Connect
For step-by-step instructions on how to configure these options, see the Enrolling Windows 10 Devices Using Azure AD: VMware Workspace ONE Operational Tutorial. [/learn_more][learn_more caption=”Command-Line Enrollment”]
You have several onboarding options when using command-line enrollment. These options range from onboarding with a PC Lifecycle Management solution, to deploying a script via a group policy object. However, all options have one thing in common. They all use the command-line parameters supported with the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub.
Organizations utilizing command-line enrollment typically use one of the following onboarding options:
- Enrolling with SCCM using Workspace ONE AirLift
- Enrolling Domain Joined devices
- Enrolling Workgroup devices
- Enrolling during Imaging/ In-Place upgrades
- Enrolling using a Group Policy Logon Script
To walk through the Workspace ONE AirLift enrollment workflow, see the article Migrating Devices and Users from SCCM. For step-by-step instructions on how-to configure the remaining command-line enrollment options, see Onboarding Windows 10 Using Command-Line Enrollment: VMware Workspace ONE UEM Operational Tutorial.[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”Dell Provisioning”]
In partnership with Dell Configuration Services, Workspace ONE UEM supports provisioning packages. These packages install applications and configurations on your Dell Windows 10 devices before they leave the factory. However, you must participate in Dell Configuration Services to use Dell Provisioning for VMware Workspace ONE.
Dell Provisioning supports the following Workspace ONE onboarding methods:
- Azure AD Joining with Premium licenses
- Azure AD Joining without Premium licenses
- On-premises Domain Joining
- Workgroup
For instructions on how to configure these options step-by-step, see the Dell Provisioning: VMware Workspace ONE Operational Tutorial
