Power Apps for Office 365 (Plan 3)

Power Automate for Office 365

Power BI Pro

Premium Encryption in Office 365

Sway

Whiteboard (Plan 3)

Windows 10/11 Enterprise (Original)

They have Hybrid Joined devices in Intune and Office 365 MDM. There is no policy set for the Office 365 MDM and my understanding is that if a user has the Intune license set to ON within the E5 license, then the device that user has should go to Intune if Azure is reporting that the MDM is Office 365 MDM. Could having any of the above Services/Plans set to OFF effect this?

I want all devices to be in only Intune!

Should any service/plan always be set to ON, like Windows 10/11 Enterprise (Original) and Azure Active Directory Premium P2 for Intune to work its best?

I think every service/plan should be set to ON but the customer requires Microsoft documentation stating so.

@Christopher Cass Generally, you must first assign each user an Intune license before users can enroll their devices in Intune.

And for Windows automatic enrollment, Azure Active Directory Premium is needed.

Based on my research, some other licenses are required during intune usage. When you deploy App protection policies for Microsoft Office apps, it is needed to have some office licenses.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/app-protection-policy#app-protection-policies-for-microsoft-office-apps

When you want to use conditional access policy, the license requirements are listed in the following article:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/overview#license-requirements

These are just two examples. For a better experience, it is suggested to keep licenses as more as possible based on your specific requirement.

Answer 2

The correct way would be to switch MDM from Office 365 to Intune, assign Intune license, setup and assign policies in Intune, then remove the policies from Office 365.
