Event details
Our organisation is currently hybrid. We'd like to use Autopilot and were thinking of migrating GPO's over to intune. Eventually the goal would be to go cloud only. Would it be better to create and recreate our policies in intune rather than migrate aka have a clean slate ready for the future? How much of a difference will this make?

Hari_Seldon​ Hi Hari, yes, for most customers we would recommend recreating the relevant policies in Intune instead of migrating GPOs. But for other customers that keep their GPOs up-to-date, migrating is just fine. The difference is how often you maintain your GPOs (do you still have Active Desktop policies from Vista configured, for example).
If you are recreating the policies while the device is still hybrid joined, make sure you remove the device from the OUs receiving the GPOs, as conflict resolution isn't always perfect.
