How to Seamless Transition from Local Active Directory to Microsoft Intune?
ImUzair If it is just the devices that you want to manage, then hybrid join the devices and enroll the devices in Intune. You will obviously need to setup you Intune for management. If it is Entra ID identity you seek, then there is no migration path. The recommended way is to reset the devices and provision them using Autopilot.

Based on practical experience, Opsole Migrate can be used even in Entra ID only scenarios. The tool can automatically remove the device from its existing AD join state, even when there is no direct connectivity to on-premises Active Directory, and complete a Microsoft Entra ID Join while reassigning the required cloud group memberships.
LAPS and BitLocker deployment scenarios must be planned as part of the overall migration design. https://opsole.com/ supports backing up these configurations; however, the exact approach depends on the customer’s current setup and should be reviewed on a case by case basis.
