Onboarding Windows Devices to LDM

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 Lenovo Device Management by installing the LDM Provisioning Pack to the device. 

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.
