- Will there be any tool to help seamlessly convert Hybrid AD Join to Azure AD join only with minimum user disruption?
- Jason_Sandys

This is something we are actively investigating, however, there are significant technical challenges. Customers should plan on resetting Windows endpoints. Moving to cloud-native is best done by fully accommodating hybrid work as well which includes making your apps, data, configuration, etc. portable so that resetting a Windows device for whatever reason, including hardware replacement and lost or stolen devices, is straight-forward to accomplish and as seamless as possible. Expecting zero impact on any change is ultimately not a realistic expectation even if we do create a tool to do so, there will be some down-time and other impact on end-users.- I would never use it. We want to get to a known state of the device before onboarding them to Intune. To do so, the only way is to bring those devices to the known state.
- What I have observed is that the agent being removed does not leave it cloud connected (unless I missed something).
- New customer would have to invest so much to work out how to run ConfigMgr properly, and for a short time. So agreed, Intune only would be the only way to go.
- We are working to deploy cloud only endpoints to 100 K machines. But MS Intune does not have a Production ready Autopilot monitoring and no logs about autopilot failure details. As per MS support engineer, they are requesting to call each end user for failure details. Question: When MS will provide fully working and informative Autopilot monitoring. Will help to move machines on Cloud only .
- SteveThomasHave you had a chance to check out the new device diagnostic features of Autopilot recently made available with the 2209 release? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot-whats-new
- Is there any plan to merge Software Center and Company Portal together? Would make transitioning over to Intune a lot easier
- MSFT_IntunePrgramMgr
We show software center apps in CP. Apps in Company Portal - Configuration Manager | Microsoft Learn. You will also want to join our session The Store of the future
- Oh wow! thats pretty recent! Awesome!!!!
- Joe_LurieYou can use the Client Setting in CM to redirect to Company Portal instead of Software Center.
- This already works, not a total merge but you can use both at the same time
- thats the problem. both at the same time is super confusing for the end user. Having both SCCM packages AND Intune packages in the one portal would be a lot easier for the end user.
- IMO Cloud Attach - only if you have on prem things that are still needed Otherwise its TO THE CLOUD!
- Do you plan to bring any new features to ConfigMgr anymore or can you make an clear statement about product retirement for ConfigMgr since any new invest goes to Intune only as i can see personally?
Most important question and nobody wants to touch it.
- Wonder only WHY 😄
- We have established that 80% of users can use pure AAD/Intune managed devices, and if you can do that, it's much easier to manage (hybrid anything introduces complexity). The trouble is we still have 20% that need to be AD joined, so we still have to worry about deploying devices joined to AD, GPO settings clashing with MDM settings, devices reverting to ConfigMgr management. And because Hybrid AD Join is so unreliable, we have to remove devices from Autopilot if we want to AD join them. Advice on how to progress?
- this is really the problem, the %20 'left behind' . We have %20 of our devices that literally have no internet access for compliance reasons where SCCM is still required.
- thanks guys!! Appreciate it. Great suggestions.
- Thanks Aria. It doesn't work, been there!
- Has there been any talk of how to smoothly move a device from Configmanager co-managed (CfgMgr agent connected to Intune and all workloads shifted) to cloud-managed without the agent? We do not have any remaining need for the Configmgr agent on most of our legacy devices so the agent being there seems to be an extra point of failure on our hybrid devices.
- Aria, to find all the latent Reg keys is a lot of manual labor. Can MS develop a tool to clean all this up? Otherwise this doesn't meet the "smoothly" requirement David is looking for.
- I manage almost 6,000 workstations. A ECM client removal tool would be a great tool.
- How do you do reporting and legacy applications without SCCM? Intune is very limited at the moment
- Also how do you manage content without DP's on smaller sites where deployment optimization is not a good fit.
