i am hoping that there are other in here that are still using MECM/SCCM and Intune as well. I recently saw an article about the Intune Active Directory Connector getting an upgrade to use a managed service account instead of the system account. i went to go upgrade mine when i realized i did not even have an intune AD connector configured. Yet... i am still able to automatically join my hybrid azure AD devices to intune which is one of the features of this connector in Intune.
so i was wondering how i am able to do it if i don't have that connector. I am going to guess it is because i setup Tenant Attach in MECM/SCCM? i believe that was what i setup years ago to do the job the intune ad connector described it was going to do. so that leads to the question.... should i even setup this Intune AD connector and if i do, do i need to remove the MECM/SCCM Tenant attach?
HI Michael,
One of the other reasons to have Intune Connector is to creates autopilot-enrolled computers in the on-premises Active Directory domain.. However I know this is a confusion but your Hybrid Joined is managed by AAD / Entra Connect if I am correct.
Dont over complicate if you are existing setup is working continue, and if you want to manage Remote AutoPilot you will need this Intune connector but not for your hybrid joined devices as Cloud Management Gateway syncs via SCCM/MECM.
Hope this helps.
