Windows 10
activationsYou can use a
Java
web application from BlackBerry
as a discovery service to simplify the activation process for users with Windows 10
devices. If you use the discovery service, users don't need to type a server address during the activation process. If you choose not to deploy this web application, users can still activate Windows 10
devices by typing the server address when prompted.You can use different operating systems and web application tools to deploy a discovery service web application. This topic describes the high-level steps. See Deploy a discovery service to simplify Windows 10 activations for an example of the specific steps you would take using common operating systems and tools.
When you deploy a discovery service web application, you perform the following actions:
Step | Action |
---|---|
![]() | Create a static DNS Host A record for the Java application server. The record must specify enterpriseenrollment.< , where <email_domain >email_domain > corresponds to the email addresses of your users. |
![]() | If you want to allow users to activate devices while they are outside of your organization's network, configure the computer that hosts the discovery service to listen externally on port 443. |
![]() | Create and install a certificate to secure TLS connections between Windows 10 devices and the discovery service. |
![]() | Log into my AccountJava application server. |
