Step 1

On a different computer than the one you're enrolling, copy the CU Autopilot Enrollment.exe file to a USB flash drive.

Step 2

On the new computer, if it is on the initial Windows setup screen, press Shift-F10 to open a command prompt and continue to step 3.

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

Step 3

Type explorer.

Step 4

Press enter.

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.

Step 6

Select a Department Abbreviation if applicable.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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.
