Co-management with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager Flashcards

What is co-management in the context of Microsoft endpoint management?

Answer: Simultaneously managing Windows devices with both Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune

Co-management allows Windows 10/11 devices to be concurrently managed by both Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune, enabling a gradual transition to cloud management.

What are the two primary paths to enable co-management for existing environments?

Answer: Enrolling new devices via Autopilot or migrating existing Configuration Manager clients to co-management

Co-management is achieved either by enrolling new devices through Windows Autopilot or by enabling Intune enrollment on existing Configuration Manager-managed clients.

What device identity prerequisite must be met for co-management to work with Microsoft Intune?

Answer: Devices must be either Hybrid Azure AD joined or Azure AD joined

Co-managed devices must have an Azure AD identity, achieved through either Hybrid Azure AD Join (synced from on-premises AD) or direct Azure AD Join.

What is the minimum Configuration Manager current branch version required to enable co-management?

Answer: Configuration Manager version 1710

Co-management support was introduced in Configuration Manager current branch version 1710, making it the minimum supported version.

Which of the following is NOT an available co-management workload that can be switched from Configuration Manager to Intune?

Answer: Hardware inventory collection

Hardware inventory is not a co-management workload; it always remains with Configuration Manager and cannot be switched to Intune.

In a co-management scenario where both Configuration Manager and Intune apply settings to the same area, what determines which settings take effect?

Answer: The configured workload authority slider determines which platform's settings apply

The workload authority configured in the co-management settings (the slider for each workload) determines which management platform's policies are authoritative and applied to devices.

What is a 'pilot collection' used for in co-management configuration?

Answer: Gradually moving specific devices to Intune workload management before a full organization-wide rollout

Pilot collections allow administrators to switch specific workloads to Intune only for a defined subset of devices, validating the change before applying it to all co-managed devices.
