@MPECSInc @CTMike78 @techspence Give PowerSyncPro migration agent a go too. Can migrate 1000's machine a day from AD/Entra to AD/Entra, 10min time average, resilient.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@angry_tarsier @AdamGell Yep, migrated ~7000 machines big bang/cutover tenant to tenant (Entra joined to Entra joined) using powersyncpro migration agent about 3 weekends ago. Worked a dream.

@majorgeeks You could add that the anchor changes with GCC high.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@awakecoding But it's not the same Entra which the azure VM is hosted on. Use an internal rdpman to remote onto all the machines, including the Entra joined.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@awakecoding Got this working end to end now. Using terraform we deploy 5 machines into azure, xx01 etc. Dedicated per student. They access 1machine using their corp guest account over bastion. 2x diff domain DC, 2x AD joined workstation. Migrate device 1 AD to AD. Migrate device 2 Entra

@awakecoding Just deleted it. Was luck. Pulled my hair out.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@awakecoding Did you ever figure this out? I had a similar issue recently. Had a duplicated device in Entra somehow.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@awakecoding So you have the P2P server app registration?

[Neil @nlangrs]

@awakecoding Not great news (for you sorry), I was able to remote onto a machine using azuread\ account, I did have the hosts files entries in place on both host machine and target detailing both computers (ip<tab>name). Tried a 2nd one too.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@awakecoding Yeah, I only do this style on a bunch of machines in a temp lab on azure which was deployed for a couple of days for training. Typically I use hyperv which doesn't exhibit this.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@awakecoding Yeah, without Suffix. Sounds like a Entra joined issue now with tenant. No network issues resolving our master Microsoft?

@JoshuaGatewood Try @PowerSyncPro that can orchestrate it for you and keep user profile.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@RowanSaintLouis @NathanMcNulty @PowerSyncPro Give me a ping if you want a hand. Bread and butter for powersyncpro to do that.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@MyNameIsMurray @DenverDamn @awakecoding Ok, I should really look at that tool!

[Neil @nlangrs]

@MyNameIsMurray @DenverDamn @awakecoding Nice one. PSP can convert a device in 4minutes (depending on reboot time) and the user is up and running straight away. intune etc with all the OS & app installs in my experience takes multiple hours, then having to configure and sign into everything again. Lots of downtime.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@MyNameIsMurray @DenverDamn @awakecoding What's your method to migrate hybrid devices to entra joined?

Have you tried PowerSyncPro? Can do this in-place.

[Neil @nlangrs]

@JefTek @N805DN I think Microsoft supported way is to intune remote reset/wipe, or send out new device.

Neither is a good experience for the users, large downtime/waiting to get back up and running.

The replacement of devices I don't feel is very sustainable, end of life comes early.
