Switch device from SCCM to Autopilot/Intune using only factory reset
We are in the process of switching clients from AD/SCCM to Autopilot/Intune but i have a question about the how to make the switch on the client side. All devices are running Windows 10 or 11 and loc...
What is the end objective and the desired state of the devices?
End objective is to have:
- Least amount of effort needed and time lost when switching
- device wiped from all installed software except OS
- joined to azure ad & enrolled into intune
- configured using the Intune configuration pofiles
- corp apps installed using Intune
- No need to unjoin local AD or SCCM. This will be cleaned up after
If we don't need to reinstall OS this would save us a ton of time.
Are you trying to move away from domain joined state or looking to manage endpoints using Intune? If it is the latter, then you may be going about this the wrong way.
- We are moving away from local domain join indeed and don't do hybrid. It's cloud only from now on.
- I see then you are on the right track. Resetting the device will wipe the device to its factory state.
- You aren't getting it. When you do a factory reset the only thing that happens is that the OS gets reinstalled. So when you reset you are satisfying that requirement.
- I work for a Microsoft Partner and pretty much only do Intune these days. Resetting pulls the Windows installer bits off of the recovery partition and runs the installer.
- I get it, thanks!
