☐ Check with user to see if they have shared Calendars / Contacts just in case they need to reshare and setup permissions again

☐ Check to see if user needs other icons pinned 

 

☐ Add Azure VPN if needed and deploy the setup file 

 

☐ If the user wants to use their laptop as a third monitor, room permitting help them extend the displays and setup accordingly. If they want to just use the two monitors and close the laptop, go to lid settings and select when lid is closed to do nothing 

 

☐ Make sure to grab the asset tag off the new computer and dock in case you forgot that during setup. Check out the laptop to the new owner and move the laptop and dock into the correct room as well.
