Intune Enrolment for local AD joined without AD connect
I have been informed that there is no option to enrol devices in to Intune if:
- devices are locally joined to an AD domain and if no Azure AD connect is configured.
Can you confirm the above to be correct please? In our scenario we have a Windows2012 Essentials R2 server which is not compatible with Azure AD connect hence we cannot set this up.
I have been informed we have only two options:
1. New Server which is compatible with Azure AD connect
or
2. Move completely to the cloud i.e. decommission existing DC.
I can't believe this is correct thus need someone to verify please.
Thank you.

Essential has built in Azure AD integration feature, I have not used it but it could work for your scenario because it can sync users and passwords.

AD Connect is not compatible with Essential as you mentioned.
Hope this helps and good luck!
