Windows 10 SCCM & Intune Co-Management
Is SCCM right for you or is InTune a better fit? Why choose? Use Both!
Beginning with the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 (aka 1709) Windows 10 devices will be able to join both on premise AD domains as well as the Azure AD service. This opens the door to have devices managed by both SCCM and Intune. While administrators can use co-management to split up specific servicing workflows such as using SCCM for application deployment and Intune for update management so that devices get updates wherever they are, the co-management bridge is intended to simplify the migration to cloud based modern management services and not a long term solution. It would be really nice to be able to mix and match servicing scenarios so that as a device moves between on premise and off premise they are serviced by the most appropriate tool however at first glance this functionality is not readily apparent.
Now that Autopilot is available for Operating System Deployments, Intune + Autopilot provides a credible solution for full device lifecycle management for many use case scenarios. I expect to see more organizations using the co-management bridge to begin their migration to modern management.
