Click Enroll Online. If you are on campus or connected to the VPN, your registration will complete. If not and the enrollment fails, click Create CSV (manual). You can either save the file to the flash drive, or if you've connected to a network, you can upload the file to a file server.

If you had to use the Create CSV (manual) process on step 7, you will need to navigate to the Secure Computing Opt-In - Windows form and submit the .CSV file you have created on another computer.

Wait 30 minutes after your enrollment is complete before proceeding.

If your new computer is in the Out of Box Experience, reboot. If your computer is signed into a user profile, follow Microsoft's instructions to reset the computer.

The new computer is now ready to be deployed to an end user. Follow the Windows Secure Computer Setup Guide and enter your IdentiKey credentials when prompted.
