The Asset Intelligence feature has been deprecated and will be retired in a future release. How to enable in Azure?

Question

Hello everyone,
I need to convert The Asset Intelligence feature to Azure, as I understand it.
I wanted to upgrade SCCM to version 2203 and I got a notification about the impending end of support for this feature on-premise.
We have a subscription of Azure at the Azure AD Premium P1 level, but I don't know if this will allow us to turn on the features we need, I want to keep track of software on individual workstations and I want to retain the ability to generate reports on the complete software on an individual PC as well as report on the occurrence of a specific program across the company.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot
Tomas

based on your stated requirements: "I want to keep track of software on individual workstations and I want to retain the ability to generate reports on the complete software on an individual PC as well as report on the occurrence of a specific program across the company."

The elements being deprecated are not the elements you require, namely software on a machine ("Asset intelligence hardware inventory views", things like v_gs_installed_software), and "occurrence of a specific program across the company", I think you still mean installed software? If you mean something else, we may need more information to understand your problem to be solved.

Answer 2

What is wrong with hw inventory and the built in reports?

Answer 3

Based on article on https://www.anoopcnair.com/remove-sccm-asset-intelligence-deprecation-sync/. I can see that
The only system center online cloud synchronization related components of Asset Intelligence has been deprecated.

The core components of Asset Intelligence are intact. The Hardware Inventory is one of the powerful features of SCCM Asset Intelligence, and that is not going away.

thank to everybody
