What’s even crazier is that corporate customers don’t actually deal with this in any way! There’s no Microsoft account required on an Active Directory controlled PC.

How are you accomplishing this? Provisioning the PCs to be part of the domain with a Powershell install script during automated setup? Because I was under the impression that this also had become a difficult task with 11. Because a Windows 11 machine doesn't know it's going to be part of the domain until it has been added to the domain. So, the only way I can see that working is like Powershell combined with WDS or something.

EDIT: Also, the LTSC version of Windows 11 isn't coming until later in 2024. So I'm very curious how this works with 11 specifically.

Windows 11 Enterprise likely uses a different OOBE, I just tell it to join during setup. At work, everything is image-based and pre-configured so no standard OOBE.

Like most things at MS, those with the resources get everything they want while the little guy gets screwed.

Ah yes, I forgot about the existence of Entrprise edition. I've just never dealt with a business that paid for such a thing, I guess.

Yup, you can DL enterprise Win11 for free to, just gotta know how to grab it from MS.

Be a kind soul and share, please and thank you.

Shit, I was just looking at massgrave the other day, didn't realize they had direct links. Thanks a bunch.

Haha, I work for one of Microsoft’s biggest customers and they still treat us like shit. Trust me they don’t do favors for anybody. They honestly do not care.

During setup press Shift + F10, type OOBE\bypassnro, press enter and have fun creating local accounts.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That has been err "fixed" some time ago. You cant open the command window during setup anymore

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can. I downloaded the (german language) setup iso from microsoft about 3 weeks ago.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I tried it a couple months ago on a laptop, didnt work. But it also already came with a W11 install, maybe thats why

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Tried it just yesterday with the multi edition iso directly downloaded from the ms web page.
But as I am in Germany and my region is the EU/in Germany we get a different treatment.

Or it's just the OS the OEM delivers that is BS :p

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago

Im from germany too, so i would guess its the latter

Windows 11 pro OOBE > get device online either via WiFi or wired network or bypass via commands > set up for school or work > sign in options > Domain Join. This asks you for local account name and password for a local administrator account and then drops you on the login screen.

LTSC 24H2 released sometime at the end of May? I installed it just recently in a VM..
