Enrolling Windows 10/11 devices in bulk using a provisioning package
Windows bulk enrollment is a very easy way to enroll Windows 10/11 devices to
GoTo Resolve MDM.
The bulk enrollment can be started simply by running a provisioning package on a Windows 10/11 device. After that, the rest of the enrollment process is automatic. The device user does not have to type in the enrollment credentials during the enrollment.As a result of the enrollment, the device becomes
fully managed in
GoTo Resolve MDM.
Before you begin: The device user must have administrator privileges to run the provisioning package. For building the provisioning package you will need to have:
- An administrator role on your GoTo Resolve MDM site.
- A Windows 10/11 device with Windows Configuration Designer software (free software).
What is a Windows provisioning package?
You can create Windows provisioning packages (with extension .ppkg) using
Windows Configuration Designer. The provisioning packages are generally used to automate the deployment of Windows 10/11 devices and to apply desired configurations and customizations to the devices. This is very convenient especially if you want to apply the same configurations to a large number of devices.
GoTo Resolve MDM's customers can utilize the provisioning packages to automate device enrollments. The idea is to include the GoTo Resolve MDM site-specific mass enrollment credentials in a provisioning package so that the enrollment experience would be as smooth for the device users as possible.

Important information
- Windows bulk enrollment supports devices with a 64-bit version of Windows 10/11 Pro or above
- During the bulk enrollment, GoTo Resolve MDM first adds an MDM
Work account to the device, and after that, the GoTo Resolve MDM Client app gets installed on the device automatically - GoTo Resolve MDM does not assign devices to any user during the bulk enrollment by default
How do I deactivate a bulk enrollment provisioning package?
Administrators can deactivate the provisioning package at any time using the
Deactivate button, which is located in the Infrastructure diagram, under the Windows devices icon. After deactivation, the package cannot be used for enrolling new devices, but previously enrolled devices will remain managed.
If you want to do more bulk enrollments later, you need to create a new provisioning package as described above.
Please note that creating a new provisioning package will also automatically deactivate the previously created packages.
