Cloud attach vs. cloud only: the debate
Event details
Are you planning a new Microsoft Intune deployment? Are you wondering if you need Configuration Manager? Join Danny and Steve for a special edition of Unpacking Endpoint Management as they breakdown key management workloads of Windows devices (compliance policies, Windows Update policies, resource access policies, Endpoint Protection, device configuration, Office Click-to-Run apps, and client apps) to help you determine if cloud attach or cloud only is right for your new Intune deployment.
This session is part of the Microsoft Technical Takeoff: Windows + Intune. Add it to your calendar, RSVP for event reminders, and post your questions and comments below! This session will also be recorded and available on demand shortly after conclusion of the live event. |

- Security2021Copper ContributorWill there be an MBAM equivalent in the cloud? 🙂 Currently have to use the work of MVP's top cover this.
- SigurdWernerIron ContributorCloud only requires an Intune license, Cloud attach and co-management can run on Windows + Software Assurance
- David StowersBrass ContributorIn our case SCCM was already in place on some devices and was the easiest avenue to quiet onboarding.
- Security2021Copper ContributorWill there be a way to move from legacy ASR rules via MDM configured by Config manager to intune. Currently you have to run a cleanup script which is not so easy on 10's of thousands of systems.
- jhuylebroeckBrass ContributorCould we turn the question onto its head. In what case(s) is maintaining/implementing a hybrid joined/managed device still a viable option or perhaps... a necessary evil. 😈 I'm not very familiar with config manager, but my customers are. 😉
- JamesEppIron ContributorI want to pick up on something Aria mentioned - one pain point I see between group policy and Intune/cloud management is that there's no mechanism in Windows to "choose" or "select" a preference of which configuration management system to "honor" if there's a conflict. Can you speak to that? I may just be misinformed.
- HeyHey16KIron ContributorThere is an Intune policy setting called "MDMWins", which means if the same setting is configured in Intune policy and Group Policy, and both are applied, the Intune policy will win

We in general discourage the use of this policy/setting as there are a variety of exceptions where it does not work as expected. We've documented most of those exceptions but unfortunately, the list is not exhaustive. We strongly encourage folks to use the various targeting mechanisms to ensure only policy from one or the other applies to specific devices.
- jaymichaudBrass ContributorIn an established Configuration Manager environment, is there any benefit to going Hybrid AADJ and ConfigMgr co-management over moving to cloud-only, and does the answer change depending on whether you are talking about new devices vs. devices already managed in ConfigMgr? We piloted cloud-only management and it worked great, but now we're looking at what migration would look like.

That's ultimately for you to determine based on your requirements. Keep in mind that we only recommend using HAADJ for existing devices though and for new Windows provisioning, we strongly recommend only using AADJ. - Joe_Lurie

Our best practice is to go full cloud management and identity. If you are able to go Azure AD joined instead of Hybrid, that's the recommended strategy. For many customers, that's a long-term plan, for others, they can get there more quickly. Same with management: CM to Intune. If you can move to Intune today, we would recommend starting that migration.
- tylerbnewageCopper ContributorIs there a list ready, or script available to find and delete those keys?
- Paul_WoodwardIron ContributorConfigMgr client absolutley is a source of failure in my environment. Devices revert to COnfigMgr management, even when all workloads are migrated.
- William_Coreiron347Copper Contributor
Is there any plan to move Azure VMs/servers security configuration/endpoint management to MEM?

If you are referring to Intune, not at this time. I would suggest looking into solutions like Azure Arc. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/overview
