Adding Windows Devices
Lenovo Device Manager supports an automated process that simplifies the onboarding of Windows devices. Users can easily download the .zip file package with the necessary files and apply to the devices. Any Lenovo Windows device can be automatically added to LDM by installing the LDM Provisioning Pack to the device.
The LDM Provisioning Pack (device.zip) is a zip file. The zip file contains:
- setup.cmd - The setup file that will install UDC client in the Windows device. This setup script file should be executed with Administrator privileges.
- udc.exe - The UDC setup file
- udc-provision.json - The UDC Service information, task control settings, device parameters to be fetched when running the provisioning pack
- README.txt file
The setup is unique for the organization and must not be shared.
To set up a new LDM account, it is mandatory to have a Lenovo ID and get an email invitation from Lenovo. Once the admin account is set up, the org admin can invite other users within the organization to create accounts based on the roles and permissions granted to them.
Automatically Adding a Windows Device
- Navigate to Device Management > Devices page. Click on ✚ Add Device button.
- Select a device type. Windows tablets are not currently supported.
- Select OS type Windows.
- Set the values of Installer Expiration (7 days/30 days/60 days/90 days/365 days) and Maximum Usage (5K Devices/10K Devices/50K Devices) from the dropdown. Select Download Provisioning Pack.
- The provisioning pack will get downloaded.
This can be used on the current device, distributed to multiple devices or saved to a USB for on-prem installation. - Unzip and copy the files to an empty folder on the device. For example, C:\temp\LDM.
- Open the location where the zip file has been extracted (C:\temp\LDM).
- Execute the setup.cmd script as an Administrator.
- Confirm the onboarding process was successful by checking the exit code.
- Exit code 0 indicates success
- Exit code non-zero indicates that the script was not able to successfully onboard the device. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for the list of errors and follow up actions.
