How to get the best out of co-management?
After enabling co-management you get immediate access to new features within endpoint manager. Below is a summary of the functionality you gain by simply enabling co-Management with Intune or which services are easily migrated. Not in the least, they are instrumental in judiciously dealing with your security.
• Compliancy:
These rules define requirements for devices, like minimum operating systems or the use of disk encryption. Devices must meet these rules to be considered compliant.
• Conditional Access:
By using Conditional Access policies, you apply the right access controls when needed to keep your organization secure and stay out of your user’s way when not needed.
• Cloud Management:
A wide variety of real-time actions, like remote factory reset or wipe for a stolen device. Crucial whenever you need to take instant actions on devices, no matter where they are.
• Autopilot:
Windows Autopilot simplifies the Windows device lifecycle, for both IT and end users, from initial deployment to end of life.
• Windows Updates
These enable IT administrators to keep the Windows 10 devices in their organization always up to date with the latest security defenses and Windows features by directly connecting these systems to Windows Update service.
After you pick this low-hanging fruit, it is possible to migrate the remaining services towards endpoint manager. With heavy usage and complexity in the current Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager it is advised to perform a phased approach or to remain in a hybrid setup. New applications and settings can be configured with endpoint manager while existing applications or settings can remain in the on-premises configuration manager.
