We are working on implementing cloud management in an environment with a significant number of GPOs and GPO settings. GPO Analytics is helpful and has migrated about 75% of the required policy settings, but it leaves A LOT to be desired. We are not finding good documentation or guides for the settings that don't migrate in a "next, next, next, finish!" fashion.
What's the best path to getting expert, in-depth, experienced guidance and tips for dealing with policies that don't easily migrate?
To expand on Chad's statement that GPO Analytics has a lot to be desired we have experienced areas where it falls short of expectations. Here are some examples: Settings from custom ADMX files that have been imported into Intune are not reported on or converted by GPO analytics; GPO analytics does not account for all settings that might be available in CSPs (We got 0% conversion for Chrome GPOs even though many of those settings are in native CSPs); The GPO Analyzer does not look at GPP settings; Deprecated or unknown settings don't factor into the conversion calculation (We had some GPOs report 100% conversion even though there were deprecated or unknown settings). Given this it seems that GPO Analytics is one tool in a tool set to get you started on the road to moving towards cloud-based management. If you are looking to simply lift and shift GPOs to CSPs it is not going to get you there. Perhaps that is why the guidance is to start over and ask what the requirements are today and build CSPs from the ground up.
