"Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot" wording

Open ChadSimmons opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

In the Intune console / Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center and in the several docs including

  • Configure Autopilot profiles web doc
  • Automatic registration of existing devices web doc
  • Windows Autopilot deployment for existing devices web doc

the process of registering a Windows device with the Autopilot deployment service is described as **convert**ing.

This is confusing as nothing actually happens to the device. The word convert also leads to confusion in that it somehow transforms a hybrid Azure AD device into a Azure AD Autopilot device as referenced in issues #2175, #2181, #2872, and #3082.

If the wording in the console/admin center and documentation were simply updated to say Register all targeted devices in Autopilot I believe the confusion would disappear.
