Entra Join is the way
from Blue Security · host Andy Jaw & Adam Brewer
In this episode, Andy and Adam discuss the transition from hybrid join to cloud native Entra Join for device management. They explain the difference between device identity and device management and how they can be managed separately. They address concerns about GPOs and highlight the importance of reevaluating device management strategies. They also discuss accessing on-premises resources, overcoming Wi-Fi authentication challenges, and the shift away from gold images. The episode concludes with a discussion on Autopilot and the gradual transition to Entra Join. Takeaways -Device identity and device management can be managed separately, allowing organizations to transition to cloud native -Entra Join without changing their device management tools. -GPOs can be migrated to Intune using the Group Policy Analyzer, and custom ADMX profiles can be created to replicate GPO settings. -Organizations should reevaluate their device management strategies and consider lighter touch management approaches that align with modern IT practices. -Accessing on-premises resources with cloud native devices is possible through network connectivity, DNS resolution, and authorized user credentials. -Wi-Fi authentication challenges can be overcome by using pre-shared keys or transitioning to modern authentication methods. -The transition to Entra Join can be done gradually, starting with information workers and frontline workers, and leaving specialized environments for later. ------------------------------------------- Youtube Video Link: https://youtu.be/2BNAYJcxCJI ------------------------------------------- Documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/autopilot/windows-autopilot-hybrid https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/device-sso-to-on-premises-resources https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/group-policy-analytics ---------------------- Contact Us: Website: https://bluesecuritypod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/bluesecuritypod Threads: https://www.threads.net/@bluesecuritypodcast Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bluesecpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BlueSecurityPodcast Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/bluesecuritypod ------------------------------------------- Andy Jaw Mastodon: https://infosec.exchange/@ajawzero Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajawzero LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyjaw/ Email: [email protected] ------------------------------------------- Adam Brewer Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajbrewer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamjbrewer/ Email: [email protected]
