Hi everyone,

I've created a PowerShell script to collect hardware hashes using a task sequence during PXE boot. I created a custom task sequence that currently only contains the PowerShell script.

The script works fine when I run it from the full OS, and the hashes are successfully saved to a network share. However, I would like to collect the hardware hashes during PXE boot so I don't have to fully set up the device before gathering the hashes.

I can also run the script manually from a USB drive during OOBE, and the hashes are saved successfully. Ideally though, I’d like this to run automatically through the task sequence.

Has anyone successfully collected hardware hashes while in PXE/WinPE using a task sequence?

I’m currently configuring a Dell OptiPlex 5000 as a single-app kiosk through Intune and am running into an issue.

After wiping the device and applying the kiosk configuration, everything works as expected. The device automatically signs in and launches the browser I configured for the kiosk session.

However, after restarting the device, instead of automatically signing back in, Windows prompts for login and asks for the kioskuser0 password. I also noticed that on the login screen, under the previously signed-in users, there are two kiosk user accounts listed. One of them doesn’t work at all, and if I select the other one, it still prompts for a password but if I press Enter without typing anything, it logs in and launches the browser normally.

The device is running Windows 11 (latest 25H2 build).

Has anyone else experienced this issue with Intune kiosk mode or come across a fix for it?
