MECM or Co-management with AzureAD joined Devices

Question

We are currently running MECM Current Branch. I have several AzureAD joined machines and looking to manage them with MECM or co-management (Intune and MECM). Is this possible? I have started reading some of the literature but it seems that MECM requires the device to either by ADDS joined or hybrid joined (i.e. have a computer object in ADDS). 

Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Yes, agree with @Alfredo Revilla - Upwork Top Talent | IAM SWE SWA , it is possible. Based on my knowledge, most MECM clients are on-promise domain joined, and you say the several machines are also AzureAD joined, so you can enable co-management for these machines.

For more detailed steps and information, please refer to the official articles:

Tutorial: Enable co-management for existing Configuration Manager clients

Tutorial: Enable co-management for new internet-based devices

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon

Hello @shockoMS , it is possible to co-manage devices with MECM and Intune. Basically you will install the MECM agent in Intune managed devices. The latter requires the devices to be Azure AD joined (cloud only join) or Azure AD hybrid joined (on-premise+cloud join). For more information take a look to Prerequisites.

Answer 3

Hi @shockoMS ,

Thank you for your reply.

Per my experience, yes. If you can't deploy your on-premises AD with Azure AD as hybrid Azure AD, the Azure AD joined devices MUST communicate with a CMG and cannot communicate with MECM directly.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,
