Welcome to the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) ChromeOS Auto-Enroll Kit page. ChromeOS auto-enrollment is a feature for administrators to automatically enroll devices in their organization's management without manual user input. There are two main methods: zero-touch enrollment for new ChromeOS devices purchased with an upgrade, and automatic enrollment using USB or PXE boot for devices that need to be provisioned from scratch.
1. Zero-Touch Enrollment (ZTE) -Devices purchased through an authorized reseller or manufacturer are pre-registered to the organization's Google Admin domain using their serial numbers and a pre-provisioning token. When the end-user powers the device on and connects it to the internet, it automatically identifies the domain and enrolls.
The administrative actions (token generation, device list submission) and the hardware support provided by the vendor. This is the most common form of "auto-enrollment."
2. Physical Automation Solutions -Third-party hardware and software solutions (sometimes called "kits" or "boxes") that physically or digitally automate the steps of the manual enrollment process for a large number of devices at once, such as automatically entering credentials via a connected device or USB installer.
A dedicated device that runs automated scripts for enrollment, device setup, Wi-Fi configuration, and sometimes even charging.
Who it's for: Administrators who want to ensure that wiped ChromeOS devices automatically re-enroll into their management after a user signs in.
How it works: This is the default behavior for many ChromeOS devices and ensures that policies you've set remain enforced.
How it's set up: You can configure this setting in the Google Admin console.
