This guide assumes you are already familiar with the process to build a Windows CE system image, but it is worth looking more deeply at the changed section. Step 2 is the only part of the previous OS Design project process that is changed when using the CE App Container, see below for additional details. After doing this, you will have the ability to configure the options and sub-projects just like you would normally do for a Windows Embedded Compact image.
The section below only provides additional actions to execute at certain stages of the IoT Core image building process. Unlike the process of building a Windows Embedded Compact image, Windows 10 IoT Core decouples yet integrates the creation of firmware, board support packages, image definition, and application inclusion. By utilizing different technologies for these pieces, you can separate the work you need to do amongst different teams or individuals in your organization. Create a workspace.
Create your product definition. Add features and applications to your product. Deploy the FFU to the device and test. Finalize and sign your retail FFU. While some of these steps are like the process of using Platform Builder PB to create a device image, it is worth exploring some areas more deeply. OLD directory in the workspace. You can also build Single features as needed but in general you should rebuild all the packages prior to the step of building your FFU as best practice.
Once the image is built, you can deploy it to a device. Do note that updating this way respects package versioning, so if updated versions of packages are to be deployed to the device, they must have a greater version number. More information on this can be found in Create and Install Packages. Having a properly signed image is an important part of securing and updating a device. You should never publicly deploy a test signed image. Test signed images should only be used for debug purposes and you should correct any errors or configuration changes prior to creating your final retail signed image.
In addition to the development and deployment tools installed on your machine you will also need the following to enable retail signing:. If you have one or more custom applications that you want to include in your Windows 10 IoT Core retail image, you need to verify that these applications are signed properly when including them in your retail image. If you don't see these options, your Control Panel view may be set to Large icons , Small icons , or Classic View , depending on your version of Windows.
If so, find and choose Device Manager from the big collection of icons you see and then skip to Step 4 below. In Windows 10 and Windows 8, check under the Devices and Printers heading.
In Windows 7, look under System. In Windows Vista, you'll find Device Manager towards the bottom of the window. With Device Manager now open, you can view a device's status, update the device drivers, enable devices, disable devices, or do whatever other hardware management you came here to do.
If you're comfortable with the command-line in Windows, specifically Command Prompt, one really quick way to start Device Manager in any version of Windows is via its run command, devmgmt. The command-line method really comes in handy when you need to bring up Device Manager but your mouse won't work or your computer is having a problem that prevents you from using it normally. While you probably won't ever need to open Device Manager this way, you should know that it's also available in all versions of Windows via Computer Management , part of the suite of built-in utilities called Administrative Tools.
Device Manager takes on a slightly different look in Computer Management. Just select it from the left margin and then use it as an integrated feature of the utility on the right.
This is a special folder that gives you access to tons of settings and controls found throughout the operating system. If you already use GodMode, opening Device Manager there might be your preferred way to use it. Before upgrading the PC from Window 8. We outlined three primary phases: Phase one: Establishing the foundation for modern management Phase two: Simplifying device onboarding and configuration Phase three: Moving from co-management to modern management In each phase, we implemented one of the primary building blocks that would lead us to a fully modern, internet-first, cloud-based device management environment that supported our digital transformation and created the optimal device experience for our employees.
Phase one: Establishing the foundation for modern management We began by establishing the core of our modern management infrastructure. Our primary tasks during phase one included: Configuring Azure Active Directory. Azure AD provides the identity and access functionality that Intune and the other cloud-based components of our modern management model, including Office , Dynamics , and many other Microsoft cloud offerings. Deploying and configuring Microsoft Intune.
Intune provides the mechanisms to manage configuration, ensure compliance, and support the user experience. Two Intune components were considered critical to modern management: Policy-based configuration management Application control Establishing co-management between Intune and Configuration Manager. We configured Configuration Manager and Intune to support co-management, enabling both platforms to run in parallel and configuring support for Intune and Configuration Manager on every Windows 10 device.
We also deployed Cloud Management Gateway to enable connectivity for Configuration Manager clients back to our on-premises Configuration Manager infrastructure without the need for a VPN connection. Policy-based configuration is the primary method for ensuring that devices have the appropriate settings to help keep the enterprise secure and enable productivity-enhancement features. We started with a blank slate, electing to forgo a lift-and-shift approach to migrating Group Policy settings into MDM policy.
Instead, we evaluated which settings were needed for our devices within an internet-first context and built our MDM policy configuration from there, using Group Policy settings as a reference. This approach allowed us to ensure a complete and focused approach while avoiding bringing over any preexisting issues that might have resided in the Group Policy environment.
Configuring Windows Update for Business. Windows Update for Business was configured as the default for operating system and application updates for our modern-managed devices.
This was a critical step, considering the internet-first nature of our devices and the removal of the closed corporate network structure. Establishing dynamic device and user targeting for MDM policy. Dynamic device and user targeting enabled us to provide a more flexible and resilient environment for MDM policy application. It allowed us to start with a smaller standard set of policy settings and then roll out more specific and customized settings to users and devices as required.
It also enables us to flexibly apply policies to devices if the devices move into different policy scopes. Phase two: Simplifying device onboarding and configuration Our process for device onboarding to modern management is relatively simple.
Autopilot provides several critical enablers to the deployment process, including: Automatically join devices to Azure Active Directory. Auto-enroll devices into Intune. Restrict Administrator account creation. Create and auto-assign devices to configuration groups based on a device's profile. Simplify the out-of-box experience OOBE and reduce user involvement in the deployment process.
Phase three: Moving from co-management to modern management The final phase in our transition to modern management is ongoing. Our next steps include: Decommissioning non-modern infrastructure for Windows 10 management when Endpoint Manager and our business are ready for transition. Some of the most important lessons include: Build for the cloud and start fresh. We found that the extra time required to start fresh in areas like policies and deployment planning was well worth the investment.
A fresh start allowed us to plan for exactly what our users and business need, rather than trying to restructure an old model to fit a new reality. Go at the speed of your business. The transition to modern device management is not a one-click process. It has wide-ranging implications for an organization, and it needs to be approached intentionally and gradually. Conclusion Our transition to modern device management will continue over the next few years as we onboard devices and refine our Microsoft Endpoint Manager platform and methods.
