What are the Risk Factors when Enable Convert All Targeted Devices to Autopilot?

Question

Hi all,

I have a dynamic group that includes all enrolled devices in Intune and a dynamic group where computers that need to go through Autopilot are tagged. My questions are, if I enable the option ‘Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot’, then yes, is there any risk for the computers already in use in the specified group? Secondly, in which group do you think it is better to activate it? Also, what should I expect after enabling the option in terms of user reactions and potential risks, if any?

    That setting is getting deprecated soon as well, do not use it…

    When using personal Windows computers is prohibited, don’t you think this option becomes pointless?

    Don’t convert all devices in autopilot unless you want to use other groups. For instance, have a different device profile naming convention.

    Converting all targeted devices to Autopilot will simply request the hardware hash from the device. The next time that device hits OOBE, Autopilot will kick off. It will not take any action unless the device goes through OOBE.

    So, the option’s function is only to automatically register the machine in the “autopilot devices” with its serial number, nothing more?

    All it does is add the computer serial number to autopilot enrollment. Will not add tags or anything. If the computer is already on the list, it won’t do anything

    Steven McKenzie, not serial but device hash

    Replied by Jami Susijärvi

    No risk. It doesn’t do anything for the computers that are already on autopilot. For the rest, it collects device hash to autopilot, which can be handy. But if you use group tags, you have to add those manually
