Do you know the differences between the three Microsoft Intune reset methods ?
✅ Wipe :
The wipe performs a complete reset to the device’s factory settings :
– Deletes all personal and corporate data
– Deletes all settings and applications
– Unregisters the device from Azure AD and Intune
– Returns the device to its original state
✅ Fresh Start
Fresh Start reinstalls Windows while preserving certain elements :
– Retains Azure AD and MDM registration
– Removes preinstalled applications (bloatware)
– Preserves user data
– Provides a clean, up-to-date version of Windows
✅ Autopilot Reset
Autopilot Reset is designed to quickly reuse a device within the organization :
– Deletes user files, applications and settings
– Retains connection to Azure AD and Intune
– Maintains regional/language/keyboard settings
– Retains provisioning packages and Wi-Fi connections
– Allows direct reconnection without initial configuration
💡Recommended use cases :
– Wipe : for lost/stolen devices or devices leaving the organization.
– Fresh Start : to refresh a slow or cluttered device while retaining data.
– Autopilot Reset : To quickly reassign a device to a new user in the organization.
