Steps to Import Hardware Hash

1. Install the Required Script
   The script Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo is used to gather hardware hashes. To install it, run the following command in an elevated PowerShell session:

   
   Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -Force
   

2. Gather Hardware Hash
   Run the script to extract the hardware hash and upload it directly to Microsoft Intune:

   
   Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -Online
   

   • What It Does:
     • Captures hardware details (hardware hash, serial number, model, etc.).
     • Uploads this information directly to the Autopilot deployment service in Intune.

3. Verify Device Registration
   After executing the script, log in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center:

   • Navigate to Devices > Windows > Windows enrollment > Devices.
   • Ensure the imported device appears in the list with its hardware hash.

4. Assign an Autopilot Profile
   Assign a pre-configured deployment profile to the imported device:

   • Go to Devices > Windows > Windows enrollment > Deployment profiles.
   • Select a profile and assign it to the imported device.
