Enrollment management for virtual devices is described. In some examples, an enrollment agent of a virtual device retrieves a serial number using an operating system command that identifies the serial number locally to the virtual device. A request to identify device records with the management service is transmitted along with the serial number. A management identifier is received for a device record that is associated with the serial number. A local device management parameter of the virtual device is set to specify the management identifier. An enrollment request is transmitted to the management service.

Virtual device enrollment and management

Examples of enrollment of virtual devices for unprivileged users are described. In some examples, a virtual device includes an enrollment agent, encrypted enrollment credentials, and a user mode privilege elevation component that elevates privilege of the enrollment agent. A privilege elevated token is created to include an administrative privilege of a local security authority service, and a security context of an unprivileged user account logged in to the virtual device. The enrollment agent is launched using the privilege elevated token rather than a user token of a user that is logged in. The enrollment agent decrypts the encrypted enrollment credentials based on administrative privilege of the privilege elevated token, and enrolls the virtual device with a management service using decrypted enrollment credentials.
