Enable co-management for versions 2107 and earlier

When you're enabling enable co-management, you can use the Azure public cloud, Azure Government cloud, or Azure China 21Vianet cloud (added in version 2006). To enable co-management, follow these instructions:

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Administration workspace, expand Cloud Services, and select the Cloud Attach node. Select Configure Cloud Attach on the ribbon to open the Cloud Attach Configuration Wizard.

    A new co-managed device is now automatically enrolled in the Microsoft Intune service based on its Microsoft Entra device token. It doesn't need to wait for a user to sign in to the device for automatic enrollment to start. This change helps to reduce the number of devices with the enrollment status Pending user sign in. To support this behavior, the device needs to be running supported Windows versions. For more information, see Co-management enrollment status.

    If you already have devices enrolled in co-management, new devices are now enrolled immediately after they meet the prerequisites.

  2. For internet-based devices that are already enrolled in Intune, copy and save the command on the Enablement page. You'll useUse this command to install the Configuration Manager client as an app in Intune for internet-based devices. If you don't save this command now, you can review the co-management configuration at any time to get this command.

    Tip

    If you only want to enable co-management, you don't need to switch workloads now. You can switch workloads later. For more information, see How to switch workloads.

    • Pilot Intune: Switches the associated workload only for the devices in the pilot collections that you'll specify on the Staging page. Each workload can have a different pilot collection.
    • Intune: Switches the associated workload for all co-managed Windows devices.
