Enrolling a Windows Device

Enrolling a Windows device into Springdel enables centralized management under your organization’s policies and configurations. The process involves preparing the necessary installation packages, setting up a staging fleet and enrollment ID, and completing installation and activation on the Windows terminal. Once enrolled, the device automatically connects to Springdel and receives assigned applications and policies.


Key Benefits

  • Centralized Device Management– Manage and monitor all enrolled PCs from the Springdel web console.
  • Custom Enrollment Settings – Define fleet structures, PC naming formats, and enrollment roles.
  • Streamlined Deployment – Use enrollment IDs to quickly onboard multiple Windows terminals.


Before You Begin

Ensure the following requirements are met before enrolling your Windows device:

  • Operating System: Windows 10/11 Professional or IoT Enterprise (64-bit)
  • Access to Required Installers:
    • Springmatic Enterprise for Windows
    • Springmatic Enterprise Remote Control
    • Microsoft ADK (if Microsoft Store is not accessible): ADK Installer Guide


Step 1 - Prepare Installation Packages

  1. Download the following packages from your service partner:
    • SpringmaticEnterprise_<version>_edge.exe
    • SpringmaticEnterprise.RemoteControl-gstreamer-<version>.exe
    • Optional: Microsoft ADK installer (if no Microsoft Store access)
  2. Ensure all files are accessible on the PC targeted for enrollment.


Step 2 - Creating an Enrollment Method

  1. Log in to your Springdel console.
  2. Navigate to the Devices section from the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on the “+” button next to All Fleets to create a new fleet.
  4. In the pop-up dialog, enter a name for your fleet (e.g., Windows Devices) and click Create Fleet.
  5. Once the fleet is created, go to the Enrollments tab located at the top of the page.
  6. On the right-hand side, click Create Enrollment, then choose the appropriate platform from the dropdown (e.g., Windows). Enter a name for your enrollment (e.g., Windows) and click Continue.



  7. Select the fleet folder you created earlier (e.g., Windows Devices) and click Next.



  8. In the Device Naming section, configure how you want devices to be named. Choose the naming type (e.g., custom text, IMEI, or MAC address), set the values accordingly, and click Next.



  9. Review the summary of your enrollment settings. If everything looks correct, click Next to complete the enrollment creation.
  10. After you click Next to complete the enrollment creation, an Enrollment ID will be shown.




Step 3 - Install Windows Configuration Designer (WCD)

Option A – PC has Microsoft Store access:

  1. Launch Microsoft Store.
  2. Search for Windows Configuration Designer.
  3. Click Install.

Option B – No Microsoft Store access:

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
  2. Navigate to the folder containing adksetup.exe.
  3. Run the following prompt:
    adksetup /features Optionid.ICDConfigurationDesigner
  4. Follow on-screen prompts to complete the installation.


Step 4 - Install Springmatic Enterprise and Springmatic Remote Control

  1. Locate the installers:
    • SpringmaticEnterprise_<version>_edge.exe
    • RemoteControl-gstreamer-<version>.exe
  2. Double-click to begin the installation.
  3. Follow the prompts to complete setup.


Step 5 - Enroll the Device

  1. Launch the Springmatic Enterprise application from the desktop.
  2. Enter the Enrollment ID created earlier.
  3. The PC will initiate the enrollment process and appear under your Staging Fleet in the Springdel console.


Best Practices & Tips

  • Stable Network Connection: Ensure the Windows device is connected to a reliable network during enrollment to prevent incomplete setup.
  • Use a Staging Fleet: Always enroll devices into a staging fleet first without production profiles, verify successful check-in, and only then move them to the production fleet.
  • Consistent Naming Conventions: Define a clear and consistent device naming policy (e.g., WIN-MARKETING-01) to simplify identification and reporting.
  • Keep Installers Updated: Always use the latest versions of Springmatic Enterprise and Remote Control installers to avoid compatibility issues.
  • Test Before Scale: Test the enrollment process with one or two pilot devices before deploying to the entire fleet.
  • Document Configurations: Maintain a record of enrollment IDs, fleet assignments, and naming rules for easier auditing and troubleshooting.
  • Offline Setup Preparedness: If devices lack Microsoft Store access, download and store the ADK installer in advance to avoid deployment delays.
