Modernize your endpoint management infrastructure with Microsoft Intune.

Are you planning to migrate from Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM/MECM) to Microsoft Intune?

Moving from SCCM to Intune is more than simply enrolling devices into the cloud. Applications, device configurations, security policies, Windows updates, and deployment processes all need to be reviewed and migrated.

At System Center Dudes, we help organizations plan and execute their SCCM to Intune migration. Our consultants work with your IT team to understand your existing environment, define a migration strategy, and move workloads to Microsoft Intune with minimal disruption to your users.

Whether you’re planning a complete migration or a gradual transition using co-management, we can help you through the process.

What’s Included in Our SCCM to Intune Migration Service?

Our migration services are adapted to your environment, existing configurations, and business requirements.

1. SCCM and Intune Environment Assessment

Before starting the migration, we review your existing SCCM infrastructure and Microsoft Intune environment to identify what needs to be migrated.

• Review SCCM infrastructure and client configurations
• Assess existing Intune configurations and readiness
• Review device inventory and operating systems
• Identify applications, collections, and deployments
• Review Group Policies and device configuration settings
• Evaluate existing Windows Update management
• Identify dependencies and potential migration challenges

This assessment helps us define a realistic migration scope and avoid unnecessary work.

2. Migration Planning and Strategy

Every SCCM environment is different. Some organizations can move directly to Intune, while others benefit from a phased migration.

Our consultants help you select the best approach.

• Define migration objectives and requirements
• Evaluate co-management and cloud-native management options
• Identify workloads to migrate
• Establish migration phases and priorities
• Define pilot groups and testing procedures
• Prepare a migration plan and timeline
• Identify potential risks and dependencies

Our goal is to provide a clear migration path that fits your organization.

3. Microsoft Intune Configuration

We help prepare and configure Microsoft Intune to support your migrated devices and workloads.

• Review and configure enrollment settings
• Configure device compliance policies
• Configure device configuration profiles
• Review security baselines and endpoint security settings
• Configure application deployment settings
• Configure Windows Update management
• Review device groups and assignment strategies

We focus on creating a clean and manageable Intune environment rather than simply recreating every existing SCCM configuration.

4. Application Migration

Application deployment is often one of the most time-consuming parts of an SCCM to Intune migration.

We help organizations review their existing applications and migrate the required deployments to Intune.

• Review existing SCCM applications and packages
• Identify applications that need to be migrated
• Prepare Win32 application deployments
• Configure detection rules and installation requirements
• Migrate application assignments
• Test installation and uninstall processes
• Validate application deployment on pilot devices

We can also help evaluate application packaging and automation solutions to simplify ongoing application management.

5. Windows Updates and Patch Management

Moving Windows Update management from SCCM to Intune requires proper planning to avoid conflicts and maintain patch compliance.

• Review existing SCCM Software Update configurations
• Evaluate Windows Update for Business and Windows Autopatch
• Configure update rings and deployment policies
• Configure quality and feature update settings
• Transition update management workloads
• Test and validate Windows Update deployments
• Review update reporting and compliance

6. Device Migration and Pilot Deployment

Once the environment is ready, we begin migrating devices in controlled phases.

• Select and prepare pilot devices
• Configure co-management workload transitions, if applicable
• Enroll or transition devices to Microsoft Intune
• Validate application and policy deployments
• Troubleshoot enrollment and configuration issues
• Expand deployment to additional device groups
• Monitor migration progress and resolve issues

Depending on the environment, devices may be transitioned using co-management or reprovisioned through Windows Autopilot.

7. SCCM Decommissioning

For organizations planning a complete migration, we can also assist with retiring the existing SCCM infrastructure.

• Validate that required workloads have been migrated
• Review remaining SCCM dependencies
• Confirm device management readiness
• Prepare a decommissioning plan
• Remove unnecessary SCCM components
• Assist with SCCM infrastructure retirement

Decommissioning is performed only after the required workloads and dependencies have been reviewed and validated.

8. Documentation and Knowledge Transfer

Our goal is not only to complete the migration but also to ensure your IT team can manage the new environment independently.

• Document implemented Intune configurations
• Provide migration and deployment procedures
• Review ongoing management tasks
• Explain troubleshooting and monitoring processes
• Share recommendations and best practices
• Conduct knowledge transfer sessions with your IT team

Benefits of Migrating from SCCM to Intune

Simplified Infrastructure

Reduce your dependency on on-premises SCCM infrastructure and associated server maintenance.

Cloud-Based Device Management

Manage corporate devices over the internet without requiring traditional on-premises connectivity for supported workloads.

Modern Windows Deployment

Use Windows Autopilot to simplify device provisioning and reduce manual imaging tasks.

Improved Security Management

Manage compliance policies, endpoint security configurations, and device settings through Microsoft Intune.

Simplified Windows Updates

Take advantage of Windows Update for Business and Windows Autopatch to modernize your patch management processes.

Reduced Administrative Overhead

Consolidate endpoint management operations and reduce the infrastructure required to support your devices.

Complete Migration or Co-Management?

Not every organization needs to completely remove SCCM immediately.

Some companies prefer to keep SCCM and Intune running together while gradually transitioning workloads. Others want to move directly to cloud-native device management.

We support both approaches.

Co-Management

Keep SCCM and Intune working together while gradually moving supported workloads to cloud management.

Full SCCM to Intune Migration

Transition supported device management workloads to Intune and retire SCCM when it is no longer required.

Our consultants will help determine which approach makes the most sense based on your environment and requirements.

Flexible SCCM to Intune Migration Consulting

Every migration project is different. The required effort depends on the number of devices, applications, policies, existing infrastructure, and migration approach.

We offer flexible engagement options:

• Fixed-Price Projects: A defined scope of work with agreed deliverables and pricing.
• Time Banks: Prepaid consulting hours that can be used throughout the migration.
• Time & Materials: Consulting services billed based on the actual work performed.

Any remaining time bank hours can also be used for other SCCM or Intune tasks, including troubleshooting, optimization, documentation, and training.
