Setting Up a New Clerk Computer

> Meetinghouse Technology > Computers

Overview

Most new Meetinghouse systems will come with Microsoft Autopilot provisioning enabled. This new technology allows systems to be set up and provisioned over the internet. If your computer does not have the provisioning tool pre-installed, it may be downloaded by selecting this link. If you are setting up a system that was purchased before August 2022, please contact your Stake Technology Specialist for help in resetting the computer. Once the system has been reset, you can set it up by starting with step 6 below. Please note that you will need to know your Church Unit Number to complete setup.

Instructions

1.      Connect any peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse) to the computer.  Connect power and a wired connection to the internet if available.  If necessary, you will be prompted to join a wireless network during set up.

2.      Turn on the computer.

3.      Windows setup will begin.  If wireless internet access will be used, connect to a wireless network when prompted.

4.      If the system has been configured for Autopilot, the following provisioning screen will appear on the display.  If the Autopilot Provisioning Screen does not appear, complete the system set up by following Steps 6 and 7.
