HoloLens and Active Directory/Group Policy
I have not been able to find any information on if HoloLens supports joining the device to a domain and applying group policy settings?. I understand that it runs a version of Windows 10 so I would imagine that it would be able to support (maybe not now, but in the future) some sort of functionality like this.
We are trying to see if we can lockdown the device and be able to restrict the updates/applications that are installed on the device. Further we are looking to force push software to it.

After doing more research, I discovered that the developer edition that is bought for $3k does not include abilities for encryption, domain joining, and security/management functionality. There is a HoloLens enterprise edition which does support this and can be bought through a Microsoft business rep which includes these features. This HoloLens however is more expensive and has a minimum quantity purchased requirement (currently) for these models.

I think you'd be looking into device provisioning. You can already do this with Windows 10 Mobile using a special tool, but I haven't heard of this for Hololens yet.

@copystart This makes sense. I have heard of some companies having orders for 50+ units.
