End-to-end result

A registered physical Lenovo endpoint was safely backed up, reset to Windows OOBE, and successfully completed the live Windows Autopilot deployment flow.

Validated outcomes include branded OOBE, Microsoft Entra join, Intune MDM enrollment, Enrollment Status Page completion, required Microsoft 365 Apps deployment, BitLocker, Defender, Windows Firewall, VBS, Secure Boot remediation, final Intune compliance, Settings Catalog success, and a separate administrative elevation path while the Autopilot user remained standard.
