SCCM to Intune migration, planned in phases and without disrupting users.

Zrafted plans and runs the move from Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM) to Microsoft Intune: assessment, co-management, workload shifting, Autopilot, app packaging and security baselines, so devices stay managed throughout.

Quick answer

What is an SCCM to Intune migration?

An SCCM to Intune migration moves device management from on-premises Microsoft Configuration Manager to cloud-based Microsoft Intune. Most organizations do it in phases using co-management, which lets both tools manage the same devices while workloads, such as compliance policies, updates and apps, are moved one at a time.

The goal is modern, cloud-managed devices that can be provisioned with Windows Autopilot and secured with consistent baselines, without a risky all-at-once cut-over.

Best for
Organizations with SCCM looking to modernize, support remote work or reduce on-premises infrastructure.
Typical approach
Assess, enable co-management, move workloads, retire what is no longer needed.
Includes
Discovery, design, pilot, app and policy migration, Autopilot, documentation, knowledge transfer.
Not ideal when
Devices are unsupported or heavily dependent on on-premises-only management.

Assess the estate

Inventory devices, apps, collections, task sequences and dependencies, and identify blockers.

Design the target

Define identity, enrolment, policy and app strategy, including Autopilot and security baselines.

Enable co-management

Connect SCCM and Intune so devices are managed by both during the transition.

Pilot and shift workloads

Move compliance, updates, protection and apps in stages, starting with a pilot group.

Modernize provisioning

Replace imaging task sequences with Windows Autopilot where it fits.

Document and hand over

Runbooks, policy documentation and training for your IT team.

Capabilities and licensing change. Confirm current Microsoft documentation and licensing before you plan.

Policies and assurances

Controlled change, documented outcomes.

Pilot before production

Every workload moves to a pilot group first, with a rollback path.

Least-privilege access

We request only the access needed and remove it when work ends. See our Privacy Policy.

Documented handover

You receive policy documentation and runbooks. Terms are in our Terms & Conditions.

Honest scoping

If part of your estate is not suited to Intune, we say so and plan around it.

FAQ

SCCM to Intune questions, answered.

What is co-management?

Co-management lets Configuration Manager and Intune manage the same Windows devices at once, so you can move workloads to Intune gradually.

How long does an SCCM to Intune migration take?

It depends on estate size, application complexity and how many workloads you move. We estimate after an assessment, and phased migrations commonly run for weeks to months.

Can we keep SCCM and use Intune together?

Yes. Many organizations stay in co-management for a period, or long term for scenarios that still need SCCM.

What happens to our application deployments?

We inventory and rationalize apps, then repackage or redeploy them through Intune where it makes sense.

Do we need Windows Autopilot?

No, but it simplifies provisioning for new and reset devices and is a common part of the move away from imaging.

How much does a migration cost?

It depends on devices, apps and complexity. We confirm cost after an assessment.
