Abstract: A user may register with a fleet system responsible for remote management of a fleet of endpoint devices. The fleet system can determine a level of trust for the user based on information associated with an email address of the user and other information and register the user if the determined level of trust is sufficient. The registered user can request an activation token to be used for provisioning an endpoint device for consent-free out-of-band management. An endpoint device can be provisioned by the user submitting the activation token to the fleet service, the fleet service sending the activation token to the endpoint device, the endpoint device generating an ownership voucher request that includes the activation token, the fleet service verifying and validating the ownership voucher request, the fleet service returning a signed ownership voucher to the endpoint device, and the endpoint device verifying the signed ownership voucher.
