Abstract
Disclosed are various examples for device provisioning using a manufacturer boot environment. A management agent can be executed from a manufacturer's boot environment and can install a management application that is executable in the main operating system to provision a client device for management. The management agent can then set a provisioning status BIOS variable to indicate that the client device is provisioned. The client device can then be booted to the main operating system and the management application can be executed.
