Intune Connector
Do we need Intune Azure Connector installed if we already have an Azure AD connector? This is for Hybrid environment?
That's for joining devices to your Active Directory and Azure AD. Azure AD Connect is for synchronizing users/groups to Azure AD.
Description of the Intune Connector:
"The Intune Connector for your Active Directory creates autopilot-enrolled computers in the on-premises Active Directory domain. The computer that hosts the Intune Connector must have the rights to create the computer objects within the domain."

Thanks Harm. But, I see in the Tenant Administration under Microsoft Endpoint Management admin center, I click on Tenant Status it shows Healthy under Connector Status.
Status Connector
Healthy Windows AutoPilot last Sync date todays date and time
This means does it have a Intune Connector installed somewhere or is it from the AD Connector health status?
Another quick question.
Now, let us say we want to do AutoPilot new devices and onboard these devices to Azure AD instead of OnPrem since at one point we may have to move out of OnPrem, then in that case would it be best to directly onboard it to Azure AD and not to OnPrem AD Devices OU?

No problem.. Does the connector show here? https://endpoint.microsoft.com/#blade/Microsoft_Intune_Enrollment/DomainJoinConnectorsBlade
And correct, use the normal Autopilot Deployment profile to join the device to Azure AD only during deployment.

So, we have to install this by clicking on Add and this needs to be done on the WIN2016 server?
- And this has to be installed on separate server and not on the AD Connect server?
- If you want your devices to be hybrid joined, then you can install it. But your question was: "Now, let us say we want to do AutoPilot new devices and onboard these devices to Azure AD instead of OnPrem since at one point we may have to move out of OnPrem, then in that case would it be best to directly onboard it to Azure AD and not to OnPrem AD Devices OU?"
Yes, in that case don't use hybrid join and then you will not need to install the connector.
- No, you don't need to install it if you don't use Hybrid join
