Provisioning Templates

A provisioning template is a collection of settings that control the provisioning process: which Windows image is installed, the Windows installation settings, and the scripts that run during provisioning. Each template must be linked to an enrollment configuration, which dictates how the device is set up in CapaOne after the operating system is installed.

Templates are managed under Windows → Provision → Templates.

Templates tab in Windows Provision showing the Standard template card with architecture and enrollment count, and its menu with Edit, Set as Default and Delete

Section titled “Link a template to an enrollment configuration”

You link a template from the enrollment configuration, not from the template:

  1. Go to Windows → Enrollment.
  2. Create an enrollment configuration, or open an existing one’s menu and select Edit.
  3. Under Provision, select the template in Provision Template.
  4. Save the configuration.

Only enrollment configurations with a linked template are offered when you scan the QR code on a device that’s being provisioned. See Windows Enrollment.

Manage templates

Section titled “Manage templates”

Open the menu on a template to manage it:

  • Edit — change the template’s settings.
  • Set as Default — mark the template as the default template.
  • Delete — delete the template. CapaOne shows how many enrollment configurations use the template. If you continue, the template is removed from those enrollment configurations. You can’t delete the default template.

General

Section titled “General”
Setting Description
Name A short, descriptive name for the template. Required.
Description Optional free-text description.

Image

Section titled “Image”

You don’t build or maintain OS images. Select the architecture, operating system, release, and edition — CapaOne delivers a matching, up-to-date installation image. The same image works across hardware models, because drivers are resolved per device during deployment.

Setting Description
Architecture The architecture(s) this template supports: x64, ARM64, or both.
Operating System The Windows version to install.
Release The release of the selected operating system.
Edition The edition of the selected release.
Display Language The Windows display language. Must be a language included in the image. Maps to <UILanguage> in unattend.xml.

Provision scripts

Section titled “Provision scripts”

Under Assigned Scripts, select one or more organization-defined scripts to run during device provisioning. Use scripts for configuration that must happen during installation rather than after enrollment.

Operating system configuration

Section titled “Operating system configuration”

These settings map to the Windows answer file (unattend.xml) used during installation.
