Co-Managemet (SCCM+Intune) to Intune Standalone Migration

Question

Hi
We have configured co-management (SCCM+Intune) hybrid model having On-Prem exchange and exchange online also AAD configured most of the polices managed by SCCM so we need to migrate on Intune Standalone without SCCM and without end user impact. Any one guide or share some step by step document also any down time occur like device not-complaint state or something that could affect end user??

Answer 1

so we need to migrate on Intune Standalone

Why? There is no technical reason to do this, and we (Microsoft) do not recommend this (we don't recommend not doing this either as there may be valid reasons customers want to do so).

The documentation and link you've provided are not about Windows management or co-management, instead they are specific to mobile device (aka iOS and Android) management. Thus, they have nothing to do with getting rid of co-management.

Also, co-management has nothing to do with Exchange so any discussion of Exchange here is out of place and completely unrelated to whether or not co-management is used.

Answer 2

The problem here is, that with Hybrid you have a computer main account placed in AD and you can't just forget about it. I am afraid, that the only way to move to cloud only, is to re-install or reset the machine and enroll it via autopilot. Sure you can disjoin the computer from AD and uninstall the sccm client, but it would the as time consuming as to re-install the machine.

Hi Jason

This is what i suppose to find out since customer have co-management and need to migrate on Intune standalone as far as go through different blogs most of that redirect me to same approach since hybrid MDM service now retire by Microsoft on Sep 2019 so all they want to manage their devices via intune currently managed by SCCM.

The url i shared although not have co-management mentioned but if you again go through blog Window 10 devices mentioned, Plus once Microsoft introduced co-management and end user configured now why don't Microsoft updated detailed document on their official doc site instead of just announcement of retiring feature and share high level workload shift. Don't you think its kind of impractical since as IT guy or company we need to deal in production environment instead of fresh installation. The reason of asking this as this is a quite helpful platform so i just share max. existing infra details so if you have any best approach it will be helpful that how can we shift devices including polices/profiles to Intune Standalone without SCCM and without end user impact.

Hi @Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko ,
Thanks for prompt response however Microsoft also share some high level steps . If that consideration adopt still need to re-enroll device as our main focus is to migrate devices including policies/profiles from co-management to intune standalone and disable co-management. While keep remaining infra will remain same including AD, On-Prem Servers and exchange server

Please have a look on it if this approach suitable.

Answer 5

Sorry, not sure how to respond here except that the conclusion being drawn is incorrect and if you find any sources saying anything different, please point them out.

As noted, hybrid MDM has nothing to do with Windows 10 management or co-management so any sources citing hybrid MDM retirement as a reason to move to standalone Intune for Windows management are completely incorrect.

Co-management is 100% supported for Windows management and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future; there are no technical reasons any customer would or should move away from it.

Since hybrid MDM was retired nearly three years ago, why would we have any official documentation on it? It literally no longer exists or functions in any product. There is no approach to migrating away from it because it doesn't exist anymore.
