This deployment guide provides detailed instructions for detecting Windows Autopilot-enrolled devices using BitRaser Detector for Autopilot.
BitRaser Detector for Autopilot allows IT Asset Disposition companies and device remarketing organizations to quickly identify if a Windows device has been registered with Windows Autopilot prior to reuse, resale, redeployment, or disposal.
Important: Do not use BitRaser Detector for Autopilot on devices that need to remain operational. After the detection process, the existing Windows operating system may no longer boot or function correctly.

Once the process is complete, the application will display the Autopilot status on the screensaver and in the software's main UI (See Images 8 & 9).

Since the target machine was not registered with Microsoft Autopilot, the status is displayed as Unlocked (Unenrolled). If a device is registered with Microsoft Autopilot, the status is displayed as Locked (Enrolled). The same status is reflected in the Autopilot Detection report as well.
