Simplifying 
Windows 10
 activations

You can simplify the activation of 
Windows 10
 devices with 
UEM
 using the following methods:
  • Deploy a discovery service
    : If you use the discovery service, users don't need to type a server address during the activation process. If you choose not to use a discovery service, users can still activate 
    Windows 10
     devices but they will be required to type the server address when prompted. A UEM certificate can be installed manually or administrators can deploy the certificate using SCCM. For information about how to deploy the discovery service, see the  
    BlackBerry UEM
     configuration content
  • Integrate 
    BlackBerry UEM
     with 
    Azure
     
    Active Directory
     join
    : When 
    Azure
     
    Active Directory
     join is configured, users can activate their devices using only their 
    Azure
     
    Active Directory
     username and password. A UEM certificate can be installed manually or administrators can deploy the certificate using SCCM. An 
    Azure
     
    Active Directory
     premium license is required.
  • : When you configure 
    Windows Autopilot
    , the enrollment is part of the out-of-box setup experience and the device is automatically activated when the user completes it using only their 
    Azure
     
    Active Directory
     username and password. A UEM certificate must be installed manually before the user completes the out-of-box setup. Integration with 
    Azure
     
    Active Directory
     join and an 
    Azure
     
    Active Directory
     premium license are required.
