Guidance on Migrating Devices from Entra Joined to Entra Hybrid Join

Question

Hello Guys,

We would like to migrate all Entra-joined devices to Entra Hybrid Join. Is there a way to perform this migration without deregistering the joined devices, avoiding the Autopilot deployment process, and minimizing user impact or loss of user profiles?

Any guidance on achieving this seamlessly would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1510776/how-do-i-switch-my-endpoints-from-entra-joined-to

• Currently we don' have any direct method to migrate from Entra ID joined to hybrid AD join.
• We could migrate from on-prem to Hyrid join and from Hybrid join to Entra Domain services but not vice versa.
• Only way along is to disconnect the devices from Entra ID and then plan your Microsoft Entra hybrid join implementation.

@Shekar C, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know you want to migrate Devices from Entra Joined to Entra Hybrid Join.

As @Rahul Jindal [MVP] and @Marcin Policht mentioned, currently, there is no such way to perform migration without deregistering the joined devices, because it does need to disconnect the devices from Entra ID and then do Hybrid Entra ID join.

And if you want to do it, you can consider the method @Marcin Policht mentioned.

Hope it can help you.
