  • If it is already signed in to Windows with a user profile, open Windows File Explorer and skip to step 5.

Step 3

Step 5

You will now have a Windows File Explorer window open. Navigate to your USB flash drive and run the CU Autopilot Enrollment.exe file.

Step 6

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. 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. Continue to step 8.

Step 8

If you had to use the Create CSV process on step 7, there are two ways to proceed:

  • Option 1: Use a different computer to complete enrollment by following the steps below.

    Note: For this method, your computer's serial number can't be blank or be any of the following: SerialNumber, To be filled by O.E.M., ToBeFilledByO.E.M., Default string, or System Serial Number.

    1. Switch to a Windows computer that is connected to CU Secure Wi-Fi, on-campus Ethernet, or the campus's VPN.
    2. Plug in your USB flash drive or open the file server where you saved the CSV. Do not open the CSV file.
    3. Run CU Autopilot Enrollment and switch the application to "Enroll an Imported CSV" mode.
    4. Click Import CSV, then Enroll Imported CSV Online.
       
  • Option 2: Use a different computer to navigate to the Secure Computing Opt-In - Windows form and submit the .csv file.

Step 9

Wait 30 minutes after your enrollment is complete before proceeding.
