Jun 05, 2024Many things are possible, however, our current guidance is to not convert existing device from hybrid joined to Entra joined and instead wait for some "natural" event like a device refresh or troubleshooting reset to move these existing devices to Entra joined. Is there a specific reason why this guidance isn't applicable or desirable for your scenario?

I mean in the cases we've seen, the devices aren't even Hybrid Entra-ID joined, they are strictly AD Domain joined and you nailed when you said "natural" event and most clients end up going that route where they go full-on Entra ID Joined and go through Windows Autopilot for net-new devices, its more the case of clients who don't have that natural event per se and want to take their Domain Joined only devices and make them Entra-ID joined (which works for one-off cases), but if they want to do at scale across all their devices which aren't Intune managed today and not joined to Entra ID, they don't have a full streamlined way of doing it. Appreciate the feedback on this Jason, very helpful!

For that scenario (existing devices), we suggest moving to hybrid joined in the interim until that natural/opportunistic event takes place.
