Is there a way you can import an image in Intune to push similar like WDS

[oryxway]

I am not sure whether is there a way that you can import a WIM file similar to what you do in WDS to image devices, can you do this in Intune?

I have only done what is called as Autopilot User driven method or pre-provision method, 

Any thoughts on this by today would be great as I need to have some project plan by tomorrows meetings.

No, that's not how Intune works... It relies on a Windows installation on the device; it can't deliver that like WDS. You can reset an existing Intune device to OOBE / Autopilot, and that's it, and it will still be the same Windows version as the one running.

If you run Windows 10, for example, Intune can't re-image it to Windows 11.

Technically, you can, but it totally negates what Autopilot and modern device provisioning stands for.

Thanks Harm, I was asked by my manager to move the existing image to Intune, I was confused and I thought is there something like that which I have never come across before.

Thanks Rahul, how can it be done? I am just wanting to know that I am not saying something that is not possible to my manager. Maybe, he misunderstood from previous guy that we can do that in Intune, which I thought he was bringing it to me to do it, as he has left. We have Windows 10. I am in the process of almost completing all our Windows 10 to Windows 11 upgrade in the next 2 to 3 months as it has been an ongoing process. All the devices that come in are Windows 11 and they are reimaging it to Windows 10 and I am later upgrading that to Windows 11. So, I informed my manager that we need to do the Autopilot method so that we could onboard the machines coming from the vendor.

I think that the most important thing is that you manage the operating system and add all the programs to it. The need for an operating system on the device to start should not be relevant. Wipe/reset the existing one or use a USB installer to clean and install it (Which is faster)
