# Step by step tutorial for Windows Autopilot device preparation in automatic mode for Windows 365 in Intune

This step by step tutorial guides through using Intune to perform a Windows Autopilot device preparation in automatic mode for Windows 365. You can use Windows Autopilot device preparation policies in automatic mode to provision these supported SKUs:

- Windows 365 Frontline in shared mode
- Windows 365 Flex in shared mode
- Windows 365 Enterprise
- Windows 365 Frontline in dedicated mode
- Windows 365 Flex in dedicated mode
- Windows 365 Cloud Apps

The purpose of this tutorial is a step by step guide for all the configuration steps required for a successful Windows Autopilot device preparation in automatic mode for Windows 365 deployment using Intune. The tutorial is also designed as a walkthrough in a lab or testing scenario, but can be expanded for use in a production environment.

Before beginning, refer to the [How to: Plan your Microsoft Entra join implementation](/azure/active-directory/devices/azureadjoin-plan) to make sure all requirements are met for joining devices to Microsoft Entra ID.

## Windows Autopilot device preparation in automatic mode for Windows 365 overview

Windows Autopilot device preparation in automatic mode for Windows 365 (preview), also known as Windows Autopilot device preparation automatic mode, is a solution that adds an additional Windows Autopilot device preparation policy that can be included in Windows 365 provisioning policies. By including the Windows Autopilot device preparation policy in the Windows 365 provisioning policies, it ensures that essential required device-targeted apps and scripts in Intune are installed on Cloud PCs during the provisioning process before the user signs in. This feature helps increase standardization of Cloud PCs while reducing the management overhead that comes with IT admins creating and managing their own custom images with pre-installed applications.

This feature helps increase standardization of Cloud PCs while reducing the management overhead that comes with IT admins creating and managing their own custom images with pre-installed applications.

Windows Autopilot device preparation tracks the installation progress of specified Intune applications and scripts during Cloud PC provisioning. Instead of marking Cloud PCs as **Provisioned** after Intune enrollment, Windows Autopilot device preparation and Windows 365 wait until those workloads are fully installed. IT admins see a new status of **Preparing** reflected in the console while Windows Autopilot device preparation is underway.
