SCCM vs Autopilot
Hi All, i hope i'am writing in the right section. i have a request but before that let me explain the goal and what i'am looking for. in My company , i passed by several migration , an...
Hi there, if have exist devices in Intune that and want them to register in to autopilot, the easy way to do that is to create a Windows Autopilot deployment profile and set Convert all targeted devices to Autopilot to Yes.
first , thank you very much.
second , it will be a full migration to a new company , new domain.
your suggestion is totally useful.
in my case what i'am struggling with is , all machines are existing ones , which i mean i will have to install w11 OS fresh installation , than Autopilot process. and i find it very long process to deploy all the machines , while in the past with SCCM using PXE , i could deploy lot of number of machines at once , joind to domain during the TS , easier and faster .
i am wondering if there is another way to get ISO image with Autopilot in it ( sorry i'm new in Intunes, Azure and cloud solution ) to make imaging machine little bit faster than this wayy
Why is there a need to re-install Windows OS? Do the devices don’t have a WinRE?
So Autopilot has nothing to do with your Windows ISO image, as suggest in the previous reply you may want to approach with Autopilot V2 however make sure you pass the prerequisites.
If not you have to go through Autopilot v1, here's an old post but still valid steps link here https://jayrbarrios.com/2019/09/27/windows-autopilot/
The challenge for you is you need to collect all the existing machines' hash ID and register it in Intune.
You can use SCCM to do the following:
- Using CMPivot Query – look up: https://www.anoopcnair.com/collect-hardware-hash-from-sccm-for-autopilot/
- SCCM Task Sequence – You can create a task sequence that runs a PowerShell script (such as Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1) to collect the hardware hash and export it to a CSV file then compile all exported CSV in to one file for bulk device enrollment.
Hope this points to the right direction.
RamRam2025 you don't need to compare the tweo techs SCCM and Autopilot are pretty much the same but work a little differently.
You don't need an ISO for Autopilot and you cannot import your ISO into Intune.
jayr_barrios also gave you very good information, plus you had my first post also as a path for you to better understand the capabilities in Intune with Autopilot V1 and also Device Preparation.
If you are working with old Windows 10 devices, you don't need to install Win 11 manually, you can deploy them as they are with Autopilot and deploy Windows 11 via Intune | Feature Update Deployment, this way you can achieve your goal.

Domain Join can be also very easy done via Configuration Profile | Templates | Domain Join
Have you already checked the Autopilot prerequisites, licenses, readiness of old devices and compatibility with Win 11?

Good luck!
