Part 2 - Perform a full documents sync
The next step is to perform a full document sync. This is all dependant if the school uses Offline files or not. You should be able to identify this by looking for the sync centre which we open up in this section to perform a full sync.
If the device does not have sync centre configured it maybe that the users documents are stored locally on the device. Where possible please make a note of this as you will need to migrate the data manually later on.
- Once logged into the laptop as the end user, open the sync centre from the taskbar near the clock
- Select Sync All and wait for the sync to complete. If errors occur these will need to be resolved before moving on.
- Once all errors are resolved and the Offline file sync is showing green you are ready for move on to the next step.
- Note: If you want to confirm the data that is redirect, you can check This PC which should show you sync icons over the folders synced for the user profile
Part 1 - Initial Login
The initial step to migrating a device from a local domain server configuration to InTune is very similar to a migration from one server to another.
This first step is to login as the end user using their profile.
Some pre-check information:
- Devices should be running at least 20H2 minimum, although these are not officially supported by Microsoft anymore. We recommend 22H2 is the minimum install for Windows 10. Earlier versions of Windows may experience issues with Intune.
- You have access to the users domain username and password
- You have access to the users email username and password
- You have access to the schools domain admin account
- You have access to the M365 schools admin account
- Confirm the device is connected to power
- Confirm the device is connected ideally to a network cable to help improve the speeds
- Log in to the device using the users credentials
