Hi guys,
Wish you all well. Just need some input whether we could have Apple Business Manager connecting to 2 MDM - Airwatch Workspace ONE and MS Intune running parallel before confirming the migration to Intune.
Looking at loading some test devices into MS Intune for Proof-of-Concept and testing.
Thank you.
Regards,

Yes. You can create multiple MDM servers in ABM. You can even set model types to automatically assign. For example, let's say that all your Macs are to be managed by Jamf while all of your iPhones are to be managed by Intune. You can set auto-assignments to make the product types go to the proper MDM without manual assignment at time of purchase. You can also create multiple VPP tokens. You need to create a location for this. Once the location is created, you can reassign app licenses or acquire additional ones and assign to the location token of choice.
Please note, migration of existing device, especially if they are supervised, will not be easy, especially for iOS devices. For Macs, you can issue an unmanage command from the current MDM and then run a sudo profiles renew -type enrollment command on each Mac. This will allow automated enrollment into the new MDM without erasing the device (this assumes your reassigned the assets in ABM and you have admin rights on the Mac). However, with iOS devices, you will need to nuke and pave them to achieve supervision via automated enrollment.
Hope this helps.

Yes! You can even point ABM to the same MDM multiple times to leverage automated device enrollments for multiple programs. At one point, I had ABM pointing to 20 "different" copies of the same MDM (each was mapped to different PreStage enrollments in Jamf Pro), an instance of WorkspaceOne, and Instance of Kandji, and an instance of Jamf Now all at the same time. You can also have multiple ABM instances pointed to the same MDM (extremely useful when starting M&A migrations).
