Manual enrollment

Introduction

Starting with Relution version 5, Windows 10/11 devices can be enrolled and managed without a Microsoft or Azure AD account. Supported Windows versions are Windows 10/11-Home, Windows 10/11-Professional and Windows 10/11-Education. Prerequisite for enrollment is a local user, which can be stored when creating an enrollment in Relution. This user needs administrative privileges and should not be deleted after the enrollment.

Devices should be provided with a unique ID. Especially, when pre-configuring via an image, care should be taken to ensure that devices can be distinguished by the MDM.

Windows 10/11 Home edition is subject to various management limitations. Not all management options are available. Windows Home Edition limitations →
