Windows MDM feels like a dead end to new users

[RachelElysia]

Problem

I am clicking around the App and I found > Settings > Integrations > MDM > Turn on Windows MDM > Turn on
I click the turn on button and I get this error, "Please configure Fleet with a certificate and key pair first." but there's no link to where/how I'm suppose to do that.

Potential solutions

1. Link to further instructions?

@RachelElysia thanks for tracking this!

Soon we'll be generating some of the required certs for macOS MDM features. Story here: #10383

@roperzh do you think we can generate the WSTEP cert/key for the user? That way, a user trying to turn on Windows MDM features can click "Turn on" and that's it. They're done.

@noahtalerman yes absolutely, makes sense!

This one could be a quick win if we don't have capacity for generating the certs: #19262

@RachelElysia @noahtalerman @roperzh @zayhanlon @dherder @ddribeiro what are the odds on making this "quick win" happen? Came up 2x on customer calls this week. Thanks!

@nonpunctual what happens next? they reach out to us, we point them to docs? what's the 'workaround'
