All university Windows machines now use Autopilot to enroll in the UL Lafayette domain. Please follow the steps below to set up your new computer.
IMPORTANT
- These steps must be completed ONLY by the person who will be using the machine!
- Connecting to a docking station before setup is complete may cause errors. Please wait until all steps are finished.
- Connect the computer to a power source.
- Connect the computer to the University network using an Ethernet cable. Connectivity to the Internet is required.
- Once the device boots up, one of two things will occur depending on the state of network connectivity:
- If the device has network connectivity, it may reboot to apply critical security updates. After the reboot, the Autopilot process will begin.
- If the device does not have network connectivity, it will prompt you to connect to a network.
- If there is no network connectivity, the country/region and keyboard screens will appear. Set these settings for the network connectivity screens that follow to work properly.
- The “Let's connect you to a network” screen will appear. Either plug the device into a wired network or select and connect to a wireless Wi-Fi network.
- Once network connectivity is established, the Next button should become available. Select Next.
- The device may reboot to apply critical security updates (if applicable). After the reboot, the Autopilot process will begin.
