I feel all the people on the panel are trying to push to cloud only without really working in the real world. A reimage is not a viable solution for any environment for moving from Hybrid to On cloud and Intune does not cover the expanse that config Mgr can do for these companies. To sit there and just say do it anyways is negligent on their behalf.
- I'm doing these kind of project for the last 5 years now. And, depending on the size of the organization and for example the age of the device stack, most customers choose to fully go to Intune with device reimaging (to get to a known state). In certain cases, like very complex environments, we choose to keep the old for the existing devices. But any device that is newly rolled out will be Intune only and most of the times AAD Joined only. Yes you have to manage application packaging twice, and some other stuff. But in my experience users that see the new, modern managed, devices even request a reimage themselves. We always try to create a bit of a must have that users can only benefit from when their device is Modern Managed. Let's say as sort of a marketing strategy 😉
- They said Reset, that's not quite the same as a reimage. You can even keep user data. It's still a big deal, and maybe not a viable solution, but it's not as heavy as a reimage.
- You would still need to reinstall all the apps and honestly my OSD with a full variable based software install is a lot faster than resetting a pc and waiting for app install from Intune, especially on machines with large applications such as Autodesk and Creative Cloud.
- What about a hybrid way? 🙂 Moving to the cloud with all apps and with all new PCs, whether they are coming this year or next year or maybe 2024...and leaving the "old" clients running with SCCM and SUP and CMG and whatever. Cloud/Tenant attach them, and go cloud only with new ones. It will take a few months or even years, but not starting the journey today because you have to reset them...thats also no way, isn't it?
