Setting up a new Windows device used to mean manual imaging and IT getting their hands on hardware, and many teams are still doing it this way. Windows Autopilot offers a better path: zero-touch deployment where devices ship direct from the vendor and enroll the moment the employee signs in for the first time. Iru connects directly to that flow, so the setup you configure once applies to every device.
Setting up Autopilot begins in Iru's Integration settings. Connect your Entra tenant and configure the app registration. Once configured, registered devices with Microsoft enroll automatically in Iru.
Blueprint Routing handles assignment automatically. Each new device is routed to the right Blueprint at enrollment based on the rules you configure, with no per-device work needed.
Following Blueprint assignment, enrollment handles itself. When the employee signs in with their Entra credentials on first boot, Iru enrolls the device and follows the Assignment Map logic to apply the right configurations and policies. Apps deploy and security settings start enforcing.
Admins configure the Intune Autopilot policy alongside this to control what employees see during the Windows out-of-the-box experience (OOBE), the first-boot setup wizard on Windows devices. The policy determines which setup screens appear, whether the user gets standard or admin rights, and whether the device Entra joins automatically. Configure it once and it applies to every device that goes through the Autopilot flow.
Your team is expanding to a new office, and forty devices are shipping directly from the manufacturer to employees across engineering and operations. Engineering needs one set of apps and policies. Operations needs another. No one from IT is traveling to image devices before they go out. IT wants the onboarding process to be easier.
Configure Blueprint Routing in Iru's Autopilot settings once. From that point, every device that enrolls gets assigned to the right Blueprint automatically. Each employee opens the box, signs in with their Entra credentials on first boot, and enrollment completes on its own. The right apps and policies apply without any per-device setup before the device ships.
Every device ships, enrolls, and configures after a user signs in with Entra credentials.
