Best approach for migrating AD joined devices to Entra ID without wiping user profiles?

We’ve seen many organizations struggle with device migration when moving from traditional Active Directory (AD) or hybrid environments to Microsoft Entra ID.

The biggest challenge is avoiding user disruption especially when wiping devices causes profile loss, app reconfiguration, and downtime.

In large environments, wipe-and-reload becomes difficult to scale and impacts productivity significantly.

Curious to know how others are handling this:

Are you still using wipe/reimage methods, or are you using alternative approaches that preserve user profiles, applications, and settings?

Would love to hear practical experiences from the community.
