Microsoft Intune Tenant Migration for an Acquired Business

Challenge

An organization that had recently completed an acquisition needed to bring endpoint management from the acquired business into its primary Microsoft 365 environment. Existing devices were already managed with established policies, applications, compliance settings, and enrollment workflows. Moving them into the parent tenant required a structured approach to avoid policy gaps, application disruption, and user confusion — including hybrid-joined device considerations and the need to validate the end-user experience before scaling.

Approach

Safari Micro began by validating the migration path in a controlled test environment, modeling source and destination tenants, synced Active Directory environments, Intune configuration, and hybrid Azure AD joined test devices. After testing, Safari Micro recreated the full Intune configuration in the destination tenant — including enrollment policies, compliance policies, Conditional Access, Windows Update, and endpoint security settings — repackaged managed applications, prepared hybrid Azure AD unjoin scripting, and ran a controlled pilot migration before broader rollout.

Results

• Validated tenant-to-tenant Intune migration process before production rollout
• Recreated endpoint security, compliance, update, enrollment, and application policies
• Repackaged and redeployed managed applications in destination tenant
• Piloted migration with selected users before scaling to full device estate
• More than 60 managed devices migrated into destination Intune environment
• Centralized policy control and consistent Microsoft 365 environment achieved
