Provision Manager

Provision Manager installs Windows on bare-metal devices and reinstalls failed devices, using only an internet connection. Both x64 and ARM64 devices are supported. There are no local deployment servers or images to maintain: the device boots into the CapaOne provisioning environment, and everything else is delivered from the cloud.

You can boot a device into the provisioning environment in two ways:

  • PXE network boot — start a temporary PXE server on any managed Windows endpoint on the same subnet as the devices you want to provision.
  • USB key — create a bootable USB key for devices where network boot is not available.

After boot, the device shows a QR code. You scan it with a phone, sign in to CapaOne, and assign a provisioning template. Installation then runs unattended.

Component What it controls
Provisioning template The Windows image (architecture, version, release, edition, language), installation settings, and scripts to run during provisioning.
Enrollment configuration How the device is set up in CapaOne after the operating system is installed. Each template is linked to an enrollment configuration.
Provisioning point or USB key How the target device boots into the provisioning environment.

The same template works across device models — drivers are resolved per device, so you don’t maintain a separate image per hardware model.

During deployment, Provision Manager automatically installs manufacturer-certified driver packages matched to the device’s hardware model. Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft devices are supported. Driver management continues after deployment: the Drivers tab tracks and rolls out driver updates across your fleet, and the Dashboard tab shows driver compliance per model.
