eT4L and Universal Desktop Manager are the platforms that have been used to manage devices in schools since 2012.

An F12 rebuild is required to make Windows devices function within the Department of Education. Follow the steps in the rebuild guide to help successfully prepare your schools devices.

Building and rebuilding using the eT4L server

When you receive your Windows devices they will not be configured for action, they need to be built via the eT4L server at your school. It is also recommended that you rebuild your devices at least once a year or when a new operating system is released.
