Intune and Windows Autopilot Deployment
Ship new PCs straight to your people and let them set themselves up. Maintech designs and rolls out Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot, moves you off Group Policy, and adds passwordless sign-in, without slowing anyone down.
Delivered by the team that supports Maintech clients’ end users and devices every day.
Why Device Setup Still Eats IT Time
Imaging, shipping, and hand-configuring PCs made sense when everyone sat in one office. With hybrid teams, multiple sites and a refresh cycle that never stops, manual builds slow new starters and leave devices inconsistent.
“Every new laptop goes through our desk for imaging before it reaches the user.”
“We still run on Group Policy, and nobody is sure which settings matter anymore.”
“Password resets are our top ticket, and phishing keeps targeting sign-ins.”
A Modern Workplace Your IT Team Can Run
One program can connect your PC refresh, Autopilot, Intune, and passwordless sign-in. Devices arrive ready to configure, policies apply automatically, and users sign in without passwords.
Passwordless Workplace Transition
PC refresh, Intune cloud join, passwordless MFA, and certificate-based authentication delivered as one phased program, with procedures and engineer training at handoff.
Intune and Autopilot Rollout
Standard deployment profiles, app packages, and compliance policies, proved with a small pilot group before broad rollout.
Endpoints Moved Inside a Cloud Separation
Workstations re-enrolled in Intune as part of a multi-site business separation, with users productive from day one.
What Maintech Delivers in a Modern Workplace Rollout
Zero-Touch Provisioning
Autopilot profiles let new and reset PCs configure themselves when the user first signs in.
Group Policy to Intune
We map the settings you still need to Intune profiles and retire the rest.
Compliance and Conditional Access
Only healthy, compliant devices reach company data, enforced by policy.
Passwordless Sign-In
Certificate-based authentication and passwordless MFA, with the PKI to support it.
App Packaging and Deployment
Standard app packages delivered through Intune, so every device gets the right tools.
Procedures and Training
Provisioning, wipe, reset, and troubleshooting runbooks, plus training for your IT team.
How an Intune and Autopilot Rollout Works
Step 1
Assess: Review devices, Group Policy, apps, identity, and your refresh plans.
Step 2
Design and Build: Autopilot profiles, Intune policies, app packages, Conditional Access, and PKI where needed.
Step 3
Pilot: Prove the full user experience with a small pilot group and fix issues before scale.
Step 4
Roll Out and Stabilize: Phased rollout aligned to your refresh cycle, then handoff with runbooks and training.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Windows Autopilot?
Windows Autopilot is Microsoft’s zero-touch deployment service. A new or reset PC goes straight to the user, who signs in with their work account, and the device configures itself through Intune with the right apps, policies, and security settings, without IT imaging it.
How do you move from Group Policy to Intune?
Analyze your existing Group Policy objects, map the settings you still need to Intune configuration profiles and compliance policies, and retire the rest. Devices then move to Intune in pilot groups, and hybrid-joined PCs can move to Microsoft Entra join as they are refreshed or reset.
What is certificate-based authentication?
Certificate-based authentication lets users sign in with a certificate on their device or smart card instead of a password. It is phishing-resistant, and, alongside Windows Hello for Business, it is a foundation of passwordless sign-in. It relies on a public key infrastructure: a certificate authority, an intermediate authority, and published revocation lists.
How long does an Intune and Autopilot rollout take?
Design, build, and pilot typically take around two months. Broad rollout then follows your PC refresh cycle, and larger passwordless programs run in phases over several months.
Can you roll out Autopilot as part of a PC refresh?
Yes. A refresh is the ideal moment: new devices are registered with Autopilot before they ship, so users receive a ready-to-configure PC and IT avoids manual builds.
What happens to the devices users already have?
Many existing Windows devices can be registered with Autopilot and enrolled in Intune without a rebuild. Others are reset and provisioned through Autopilot, scheduled around users so work is not interrupted.
