Despite moving significant portions of our processes from Configuration Manager to Intune, there are two primary points that have been holding us back - management of on-premises servers where internet access is not allowed and for device inventory reporting (running CMPivot queries on large groups of devices, querying software/hardware inventory, etc.). What are your suggestions for next steps to leverage Intune for similar functionality? Currently, we are having trouble seeing a way to avoid maintaining both Intune and Configuration Manager side by side with a duplication of effort.

- Zachary895Oct 24, 2022Copper ContributorThanks Paul! I'll take a look - I may have missed an interesting solution there. For update compliance, there are certainly more options out there, but there were a few other scenarios I found less guidance available. Something I have noticed with CMPivot is in Configuration Manager, I can create an arbitrary group of devices (device collection) and query the devices in near real-time. When investigating issues or discrepancies, it's very powerful for inspection. With co-management, I've seen the CMPivot option available via the Intune portal, but only for querying an individual device. In many scenarios where I use CMPivot, I may not know what devices I need to investigate, but once I identify the indicators for an issue, I can use CMPivot via Configuration Manager to query for those indicators across a large swatch of devices, then start identifying correlations. The Intune flow for similar investigations will likely be different, but it's not something I have found yet. Regarding inventory, there are certainly many options collecting state information for devices, but I was curious about whether the panel had any thoughts I hadn't come across. It was a good discussion. Appreciate your reply, Paul!
