Intune Migration Guide: Modern Device Management for All Endpoints

Introduction

Enterprise IT teams today confront a growing diversity of endpoints, remote laptops, hybrid workstations, and corporate-owned devices. Each poses unique management and security challenges. Legacy estates built on Configuration Manager (SCCM) often lack the agility required to support hybrid work environments.

Camwood’s Intune & Microsoft 365 Services provide a modular, cloud-native solution built on Microsoft Intune and underpinned by our Fusion Framework. From endpoint discovery to policy configuration, SCCM integration, decommissioning, and real-time compliance dashboards, we help enterprises transition to modern device management at scale, without disruption.

Assessing Your Endpoint Landscape

A successful Intune migration starts with complete visibility. Organisations must audit device types, operating systems, and ownership status, be it BYOD, corporate-issued, or hybrid.

Camwood simplifies this with connectors for both SCCM and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), providing a single source of truth for your device estate. This discovery phase uncovers unmanaged endpoints and legacy configurations, helping IT prioritise which devices migrate first and informing lifecycle strategies that align with hybrid work policies.

Designing a Unified Intune MDM Strategy

With full visibility established, the next step is to design governance policies and configuration standards. Camwood facilitates cross-departmental workshops with security, networking, and EUC teams to align on policy frameworks.

From enforcing disk encryption to conditional access and compliance checks, we help organisations translate these standards into actionable Intune configuration profiles. This ensures that policies secure endpoints without compromising productivity, especially for remote users.

Integrating with Existing SCCM Estates

Most enterprises retain significant investment in SCCM for software deployment, patching, and OS management. Camwood enables phased co-management where workloads transition gradually from SCCM to Intune.

Our services enrol SCCM devices into Intune, replicate update rings, and synchronise device collections with Azure AD. This ensures continuity across systems and reduces reliance on on-premises infrastructure without sacrificing control.

Onboarding All Device Types Seamlessly

Not all endpoints are created equal. Remote devices require zero-touch provisioning with Autopilot. Hybrid users need dynamic compliance based on location, and corporate-issued laptops benefit from tightly controlled boot media setups.

Camwood’s onboarding playbook ensures every device type is accounted for. Using tools like Windows Autopilot and Azure AD join, we enable seamless enrolment into Intune while embedding continuous monitoring to detect configuration drift.

Continuous Compliance and Security

A modern device management solution doesn’t stop at deployment. Continuous compliance requires real-time monitoring of patch levels, disk encryption, antivirus status, and more.

Camwood augments Intune’s native dashboards with extended insights from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Sentinel, enabling automated remediation and alerting. Our real-time compliance reporting improves audit readiness and ensures consistent endpoint protection.

Legacy Decommissioning with Governance

As organisations shift to Intune, legacy systems must be retired with care. Camwood orchestrates decommissioning in structured waves, migrating workloads, phasing out distribution points, and transferring update management to Windows Update for Business.

Weekly governance reviews track rollout success, handle exceptions, and ensure compliance documentation is maintained, all aligned with Camwood’s Fusion Framework.

Real-Time Dashboards and Optimisation

Proving the value of migration requires measurement. Camwood provides custom dashboards visualising onboarding speed, compliance trends, license consumption, and policy drift.

These insights fuel quarterly optimisation workshops where policy templates are updated, false positives are resolved, and future adjustments are planned. The result is an MDM strategy that grows with your organisation’s needs.

Success Metrics that Drive ROI

Camwood helps define and track KPIs that demonstrate return on investment. These include time to onboard, reduction in endpoint-related audit findings, post-migration support volume, infrastructure savings, and measurable gains in endpoint security.

By reporting on these indicators, IT teams can demonstrate tangible business value and secure ongoing investment in modern endpoint management.

Conclusion

Migrating to Microsoft Intune unlocks scalable, secure device management for the hybrid enterprise. Camwood’s Intune & Microsoft 365 Services ensure every stage, from discovery to decommissioning, is controlled, auditable, and aligned with your transformation goals.

Our framework empowers IT leaders to modernise confidently while delivering improved compliance, reduced operational risk, and measurable ROI.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What security risks do personal devices pose?

Personal or bring-your-own devices can introduce malware, lack corporate security controls and bypass patch management. Enforcing compliance policies, such as requiring device encryption and registered antivirus, mitigates these risks by ensuring all endpoints, regardless of ownership, meet minimum security standards.

2. How to track remote device lifecycles?

Intune’s lifecycle management capabilities record each device’s enrolment, configuration changes and decommission events. Camwood’s dashboards overlay these events with compliance data and network-access logs, providing a complete device-lifecycle view for audit and operational planning.

3. Can policies vary by device ownership?

Yes. Intune supports policy scoping by Azure AD group membership. Organisations can define stricter security policies for corporate-owned devices, such as mandatory smart-card logon, while applying a tailored set of controls for personal devices to balance security with user convenience.

4. How to automate compliance reporting?

Integrate Intune data with Azure Log Analytics and Power BI to schedule automated compliance reports. Camwood’s Readiness Services include pre-built dashboards that generate PDF-ready reports summarising device compliance, policy drift and security incidents for audit purposes.

5. How do I onboard all endpoints (remote, hybrid and corporate) into Intune?

Use Windows Autopilot for zero-touch remote and corporate-owned deployments, configure hybrid Azure AD join for devices that span networks and leverage Co-management to transition SCCM-managed devices into Intune. Camwood’s playbook orchestrates these workflows to ensure consistent onboarding.
