Hi

What is the most simple way of installing Win11 via Pixie book-Task sequence that will land in OOBE ready for autopilot/intune enrolment?

I've experimented with adding cmd after installation:

Code:
cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot /quiet

but failed miserably.

This is what my TS looks like.

Now I am contemplating using autounatted.xml file instead.

I'm suggesting to use this, but wanted to check with you guys, because I am losing my patience after couple of failed attemps.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">


    <settings pass="specialize">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup"

                   language="neutral"

Are you hybrid joining? Entra only? Are the devices going to be enrolled in Autopilot in advance?

Enrolled in advance - yes.

Entra only.

So I really need the simplest possible installation that will allow me to manually carry on from OOBE.

Since they're Entra-only and already in Autopilot, the simplest approach is to use the "Deploy Windows Autopilot for Existing Devices" task sequence.

Import your Windows 11 image into Configuration Manager.
Create an Autopilot profile in Intune.
Export the profile to AutopilotConfigurationFile.json.
Create a ConfigMgr package containing the JSON file.
Create a Deploy Windows Autopilot for Existing Devices task sequence.

Select:

Your Windows 11 image
The Autopilot JSON package
Set the task sequence to shut down at completion.

The device will:

Reimage with Windows 11
Inject the Autopilot profile
Run Sysprep /OOBE
Shut down

When the user powers it on:

Windows starts OOBE
The device contacts the Autopilot service
The assigned Autopilot profile is applied
The user signs in with their Entra ID account
Intune enrollment occurs automatically

Because the hardware hash is already registered, the JSON file mainly ensures the device lands in the intended Autopilot flow immediately after imaging.
