Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for device provisioning using a manufacturer boot environment. A management agent can be executed from a manufacturer's boot environment and can install a management application that is executable in the main operating system to provision a client device for management. The management agent can then set a provisioning status BIOS variable to indicate that the client device is provisioned. The client device can then be booted to the main operating system and the management application can be executed.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for persistent device provisioning. In some examples, a management agent is executed from the manufacturer boot environment. The management agent determines that a main operating system of the client device is currently unprovisioned for management by the management service. The management agent installs a management application that is executable in the main operating system. The client device boots to the main operating system and executes the management application. The management application enrolls the client device with the management service by installing an enrollment token received from the management service.
