Intune Windows 10 Autopilot deployment profile MENU BUG – Don’t be caught out!

AutoPilot, Errors, Intune, Windows 10 1 Minute

Microsoft recently released two hotly anticipated Intune Preview features:

  • Self-Deploying Autopilot – Azure AD Joined
  • User-Driven Autopilot – Hybrid Azure AD Joined

Naturally Microsoft has added logic to the menu selections in the Autopilot Deployment Profiles that greys out incompatible menu options. I have found and reported to Microsoft a bug that allows you to select incompatible options. Doing so causes you Autopilots to fail.

Creating a new policy and selecting Deployment mode: User-Driven Autopilot – gives you two options:

  • Azure AD Join
  • Hybrid Azure AD Joined (Preview)

Selecting Self-Deploying (Preview) locks the ‘Join to Azure AD as’ drop down menu on to Azure AD Joined. This is desired because Hybrid Azure AD Join is not available for Self-Deploying mode (yet).

Now the bug…

  1. Save a policy with the User-Driven – Hybrid Azure AD Joined options selected.
  2. Go back in to the policy and select Properties.
  3. Change the Deployment Mode to “Self-Deploying”.
  4. Note that the ‘Join to Azure AD as’ drop down stays greyed out on the invalid option ‘Hybrid Azure AD Joined’ .

The impact…

This is not just cosmetic. By doing this the Autopilot device will fail on the Enrolment Status Page (ESP) with the error: 0x801c03ed.
