Autopilot
Windows Autopilot device import error 806 ZtdDeviceAlreadyRegistered
I was recently setting up some different scenarios and tests using a VM with Windows Autopilot for Windows 10 1803 vs 1809 . Being lazy, and thinking that I was being “smart”, I just reused the same VM but had a different VHDX disks for 1803 and 1809. Each Windows instance had a unique hardware hash (see below snipet).
However, the import failed with message “Device is already registered to the same Tenant. Error code: 806 – ZtdDeviceAlreadyAssigned”.
The error message gives a hint to the problem about the device already being registered. But when you delete the system from within the Autopilot profiles section, it seems to NOT actually delete it. Such that the device isn’t removed and subsequent imports fail with the same error. This is caused because the delete was triggered to remove the device from the Microsoft Store for Business, but the change hasn’t yet synchronized back into Intune.
My experience has been that there are variance on how quickly the delete is reflected. So if you need to expedite the scheduled sync cycle, just simply click the Sync button. Then that should get it back into a position where you can import the new Autopilot hash CSV file successfully.
Resources for Windows Autopilot
Similar to last month’s post on resources for Windows Analytics, I’m often also asked for a collection of useful resources on Windows Autopilot. With that said, most of these are just cumulatively pulled from my monthly Windows 10 “news you can use”.
- Getting started with an overview of Windows Autopilot, a suite of capabilities designed to simplify and modernize the deployment and management of new Windows 10 PCs. With Windows AutoPilot, IT professionals can customize the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) for Windows 10 PCs and enable end users to take a brand-new Windows 10 device and—with just a few clicks—have a fully-configured device ready for business use. There are no images to deploy, no drivers to inject, and no infrastructure to manage. Most importantly, users can go through the process independently, without making any decisions and without needing to involve IT.
