We’re currently exploring options to implement an iPXE-based WinPE deployment solution in Microsoft Azure. Our goal is to streamline OS provisioning for virtual machines using cloud-hosted boot scripts and WinPE images, ideally over HTTP/S for performance and flexibility. Key requirements: Must support iPXE booting in Azure (via ISO, custom VM image, or chainloading). Ability to host and serve WinPE images securely (e.g., via Azure Blob Storage or web server). Cyber Essentials Plus compliance is essential, as we operate in a regulated environment. Preferably a UK-based provider with experience in secure cloud deployments and endpoint provisioning. We’ve looked into solutions like 2Pint Software’s iPXE Anywhere, but we’re open to other vendors or managed service providers who can assist with setup, integration, and ongoing support. Has anyone implemented a similar solution or worked with a provider who meets this criteria? Any recommendations or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

Employee Count and Licensing Usage:

- What is your employee count?

- Do you use Microsoft E3, E5, or a variation (e.g., E3 + Security E5)?

- Do you rely only on Microsoft EOP and/or Defender for O365 for email protection? If not, what other product(s) do you use (e.g., Proofpoint, Abnormal)?

I am interested in learning how large enterprises are managing the provisioning and replacement of iPads in their environment. We are in the retail space and our iPads are regularly breaking. We currently have a 2 year warranty so there is a lot of time and effort in returning the devices, shipping them to be fixed, getting them returned, reprovisioning them and then sending back to the store.

Does anybody have a better and cost effective solution?

Does anyone have an eReader standard in their corporate environment? Not many of them seem to be very secure in a corporate environment. Remarkable 2 is often requested, but at the moment this is a no-go due to the inability to control content. Has anyone addressed this problem (or decided they can't!)?

What type of technology do you use in your plants to ensure communication between employees? CBs, Wifi phone, mobile phone, Push-to-Talk? Does any technology, software or equipment stand out?

We are a large manufacturing company with over 17,000 associates, about half of whom have company-provided cell phones. We average two lost devices per week, which seems low, but executive management is concerned and wants to know if our numbers are typical compared to other companies. My questions are: 1. Do other companies also struggle with lost or stolen devices? 2. What is the average number of lost devices per week? 3. Are there repercussions for associates who lose devices due to carelessness or negligence?

Endpoint Protection and Utilization of E5 Features:

- Do you use Microsoft Defender EDR for Endpoint EDR? If not, what product do you use (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, CarbonBlack)?

- If you have Microsoft E5 licenses, are you utilizing all features as your primary and only solution for each domain (e.g., Endpoint protection, Information protection, vulnerability management)? Or do you have other solutions in place either alongside or in place of the included capabilities in E3/E5?
