In this lab, you will prepare Workspace ONE UEM to accept Windows Server enrollments and then enroll a Windows Server device using scripted (silent) enrollment. You will start by creating the Servers Organization Group structure — a dedicated child OG, a scoped enrollment account, and Lab/Prod Smart Groups — before configuring the console-side settings that govern how Windows devices are managed, grouped, and assigned within that child OG. You will then run a pre-staged enrollment script on the Windows Server VM and confirm the enrollment process begins. 

By completing this lab, you will be able to: 

• Create a child Organization Group dedicated to Windows Server devices. 
• Create a scoped account for use with Windows Server enrollments. 
• Create Lab and Prod Smart Groups to separate Windows Server devices by purpose. 
• Log in to the Workspace ONE UEM administration console and confirm the correct Organization Group is selected. 
• Configure Intelligent Hub Managed Mode for Windows devices in the Servers Organization Group. 
• Set the default action for inactive users to restrict additional device enrollment. 
• Enable Fixed Organizational Group as the Group Assignment Mode for shared devices. 
• Set the default Windows enrollment user mode to Single User Mode. 
• Update a server's Group ID and run a scripted enrollment on a Windows Server VM. 
• Review the enrollment script and understand the parameters embedded within it. 

Task 1 — Windows Server pre-enrollment steps (child OG, enrollment account, Smart Groups) 

Task 2 — Configure console settings for Windows Server enrollment 

Task 3 — Enroll the Windows Server device using scripted enrollment 

Before configuring enrollment settings or enrolling a device, the Servers Organization Group structure must exist. In this task, you will create a child OG dedicated to Windows Server devices, a scoped account for enrolling those servers, and two Smart Groups — Lab and Prod — to separate server devices by purpose. 

1. In the Workspace ONE UEM console, click your organization name in the top-left corner (or navigate to Groups & Settings > Groups > Organization Groups>OG Details) 
2. Click Add Child Organization Group. 
3. Enter a Name for the new OG as ServerOG######## (matching the convention used within your StudentAdmin name) 
4. Set the Group ID to ServerOG######## (matching the convention used within your StudentAdmin name). 
5. Set the Organization Group Type to Container. 
6. Click Save. 

In this lab, the account used for Windows Server enrollment is based on a Basic account.  In production, you should designate an Active Directory Service Account for this purpose for greater security and to reduce risk of deletion. 

1. While in the new child ServerOG, Navigate to Accounts > Users > Users > Add > Add User 
2. Change Security Type to Basic. 
3. Designate the Username as ServerEnrollment.  Note that there is no space in between. 
4. Designate the password as Pa$$w0rd and repeat in the Confirm Password box. 
5. In the Full Name fields, enter Server as the First Name and Enrollment as the last name. 
6. In the Display Name field, enter ServerEnrollment. 
7. In the Email address field, enter [email protected]. 
8. Click Save. 

When creating Smart Groups for Windows Server devices, please note the following equivalents: 

• Windows Server 2016 = Windows 10.0.14393 
• Windows Server 2019 = Windows 10 0.17763 
• Windows Server 2022 = Windows 10.0.20348 
• Windows Server 2025 = Windows 10.0.26100 

1. In the upper-left corner of the console, click the drop-down menu and verify that Student########/ServerOG######## is selected from the drop-down menu.  
2. In the navigation pane at the top, select Groups & Settings > Groups > Assignment Groups (Smart Groups). 
3. Click Add Smart Group. 
4. Enter SG WinSvr 2025 Prod in the Name text box. 
5. Leave Criteria selected and expand Platform and Operating System in the left pane. 
6. In the top-left drop-down menu, select Windows, Equals, and Windows 11 (10.0.26100).   
7. Expand Model Type in the navigation pane. 
8. Click Selected and deselect Windows – Desktop and Windows – HoloLens such that Windows Server is the only option selected. 
9. Click Save. 
10. Repeat steps 3-9 to create a second Smart Group named SG WinSvr 2022 Test, but instead select Windows, Equals, and Windows 10 (10.0.20348). 

✔ Checkpoint: Two Smart Groups — WinSvr 2025 Prod and WinSvr 2022 Test — exist and are scoped to the ServerOG######## child OG. 

In this task, you will first confirm you are working in the Servers Organization Group, and configure the enrollment, grouping, and Hub settings that will govern how the Windows Server device behaves once enrolled. 

1. Continue within the Student########/ServerOG######## organization group.  Ensure that it is selected from the Organization Group dropdown menu in the upper left corner.

20. Click Save. 
21. Close the All Settings window by clicking the X in the upper-right corner. 

✔ Checkpoint: Single User Mode is set as the default Windows enrollment user mode, and all console configuration for this task is complet

Deploying apps to Windows Servers is similar to Windows Desktop.  First, you will view the Onboarding Freestyle Orchestrator workflow that installs the CrowdStrike Falcon agent, which has been pre-configured for you.  Onboarding enables apps to be installed immediately following enrollment and prior to all other resources.  Then, you will modify two App Files to append Windows Server deployment and then deploy those apps and configure enrollment.

2. Go to Orchestration > Freestyle > Freestyle Orchestrator. 
3. Select the Install Falcon Sensor workflow to view and focus on the Overview pane.  Because this has been configured in a higher OG, you cannot see the full workflow or duplicate it, but you can note that the Deployment type is designated as Onboarding.   

1. While still in the Parent OG, go to Resources > Apps > Native Apps. 
2. In the Notepad++ entry, click the pencil icon to Edit the App File.

In this task, you will switch to the Windows Server VM, update Group ID, and run a pre-staged script to silently enroll the device into Workspace ONE UEM.

1. From the VM Switcher, select WS2025-Server. 
2. If prompted to log in, enter the password for the local account: 

3. Navigate to C:\Resources. 
4. Double-click the “Update Group ID” file.
