Abstract
Systems and methods are included for causing a computing device to assemble and boot from a managed operating system. When the computing device is powered on, it can execute firmware that specifies a server to contact. The server can identify a base operating system (OS) image to boot, and the location of a pre-enrollment installer for installing the base OS image. The pre-enrollment installer can download the base OS image in one or more pieces from multiple locations. This can include base OS images related to enterprise management and company-specific applications and drivers. Once the pre-enrollment OS has combined the base OS images, the computing device reboots using the combined image.
