In your experience, what are the main challenges when trying to get users to enroll additional devices? For example, is the enrollment process too complicated, or do users simply not know they can register their personal devices? I’d love to hear any specific examples, hurdles you’ve encountered, or strategies that have worked (or failed) in your organization.

The most common reason I've heard for not enrolling is not wanting to grant that level of security to the company as it would limit their functionality. On devices that are registered, restrictions are put in place like not being able to install some applications, the entire device can be wiped, and password requirements are extensive.

We have various solutions such as security policies but also access restrictions for BYOD devices.
If you have a personal smartphone, you can get an isolated work environment that allows certain apps to connect to the corporate network.

We have security policies in place that restrict access to corporate data unless the personal device is enrolled and our data can be managed / controlled by IT.

We’re currently exploring options to implement an iPXE-based WinPE deployment solution in Microsoft Azure. Our goal is to streamline OS provisioning for virtual machines using cloud-hosted boot scripts and WinPE images, ideally over HTTP/S for performance and flexibility. Key requirements: Must support iPXE booting in Azure (via ISO, custom VM image, or chainloading). Ability to host and serve WinPE images securely (e.g., via Azure Blob Storage or web server). Cyber Essentials Plus compliance is essential, as we operate in a regulated environment. Preferably a UK-based provider with experience in secure cloud deployments and endpoint provisioning. We’ve looked into solutions like 2Pint Software’s iPXE Anywhere, but we’re open to other vendors or managed service providers who can assist with setup, integration, and ongoing support. Has anyone implemented a similar solution or worked with a provider who meets this criteria? Any recommendations or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

The traditional model of device procurement and management is showing its age. We're exploring how Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) and Windows Autopilot can simplify global device delivery—without owning inventory and relying on build-to-order machines. If there was globally available, enterprise-grade hardware, consistent and reliably available... are you interested to drop "build-to-order" and enjoy "smart buy" options enabled with zero-touch provisioning ?

I am interested in learning how large enterprises are managing the provisioning and replacement of iPads in their environment. We are in the retail space and our iPads are regularly breaking.  We currently have a 2 year warranty so there is a lot of time and effort in returning the devices, shipping them to be fixed, getting them returned, reprovisioning them and then sending back to the  store.

Does anybody have a better and cost effective solution?
