Conditional access deprecation and migration to macOS device compliance

Hello,

Any businesses using conditional access model here? 

I would like to raise a forum to get some knowledge about practices you use once migrating from legacy Intune integration to new MacOS device Compliance.   

As JAMF have no way to migrate for now and current legacy integration have issues of its own we have now a dilemma:

Should we wait for Jamf Solution to migrate smoothly?  

Or should turn off legacy and integrate new one without migration? If we go this way - all macs will lose office 365 access and will need to re- register every single device.

That will create pretty big service disturbance. Just wonder what practices other companies' approach to deal with this?

Hello,

 

Thank you for raising this. We have the same question at our business, hence I'm bumping this thread.

We haven't migrated yet. We plan to do it after beginning of next year. I've been reading though the macadmins slack channel and could see mixed feedbacks.
Some having no issues whatsoever, some other having random incidents.
From what I understood and what I read from the Jamf documentation, the migration should be rather easy to do. How did it go for you?

Hi, well it worked maybe 60 – 70% affective . The rest we still needed to re – register manually . Maybe it would be more if user wont need to do anything , but he needed to get a pop where he needed to log in once whohc of course some ignored . The registration itself do not seem to change . seems to be same company portal – with same registration policy in self-service which give the same user-unfriendly authentication steps where after login you get button done – but the browser still open further steps . IT works I would say little batter .

we found a way to re - trigger migration with this 

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/sudo -u $3 /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamfaad gatherAADInfo
/usr/bin/sudo -u $3 /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamfaad gatherAADInfo

I recommend you (if you are not doing it already) to follow the "jamf-intune-integration" Slack channel here: https://macadmins.slack.com/archives/CSLNS5GEN

I accessed the Slack channel you mentioned, but when I tried to authenticate my email address, I received an error message that said, "It doesn't look like there's an account associated with this email address for MacAdmins." What should I do to join the Slack channel?

Just an update for anyone that might be looking for some answers. Microsoft have pushed out the removal date to mid 2024 and they are working with Jamf to provide a migration option. So there's no need to panic (yet)...

"Jamf will discontinue Conditional Access support in a future release of Jamf Pro (Microsoft's estimated removal has changed. Estimated removal date: mid 2024) due to the migration away from Microsoft's Partner Device Management legacy API. Jamf now offers an alternative solution called macOS Device Compliance using Microsoft's new Partner Compliance Management API. Jamf and Microsoft are collaboratively developing a migration path from the legacy Partner Device Management API to the new Partner Compliance Management API. Once the migration path is available, the legacy Partner Device Management API will remain active for one year, allowing organizations leveraging the legacy API time to migrate to the new API. Jamf recommends that environments currently leveraging the macOS Conditional Access (Partner Device Management API) wait for the migration path to be made available to ensure the smoothest transition to the new macOS Device Compliance (Partner Compliance Management API). In the future, when migration is available, Jamf customers will need to move their workflows to macOS Device Compliance in Jamf Cloud before the deprecation of the Microsoft Partner Device Management API."

Anything for iOS Compliance once Conditional Access support is retired?

I hope someone can answer a few questions.  We are going to update in January due to another security product relying on Intune and didn't want a disruption of that software also.

Am I right that at a high level overview that:

  • We remove users from the Jamf Connectors and tokens | Partner device management in Intune
  • Add the new Jamf Connector in Intune
  • Create the appropriate Smart Groups in Jamf
  •  Disable Conditional Access in Jamf
  • Enable the new Device Compliance in Jamf

Once this is done the Macbooks already in Intune will have users prompted to sign in again?

No MacBooks need to be removed from Intune and have people enroll all over again?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

Hello, we are planning to do the migration this coming March. just wondering if you already got the answer? Thanks for the help!

@mforeman1 

We still are going with this in March. Personally, I took MS & Jamf documentation and made a checklist from them, putting check boxes next to all the steps.  It helps me look at the steps and any issues we may have, team members needed to help, etc.

Also, we have about 50 macbooks with error "macOS Intune Integration: WPJ Key present. AAD ID not acquired" which we are fixing before migration starts. I have a ticket open with Jamf on why these fell out or never correctly registered.  This error is that the user has a WPJ certificate in their keychain, but JamfAAD has not successfully obtained the Azure AD ID of the user..  and there is no device for the user in Intune...

 

Once this is done the Macbooks already in Intune will have users prompted to sign in again?  I was told normally they shouldn't.  If you change the compliance or conditional access policies, they will. 

No MacBooks need to be removed from Intune and have people enroll all over again? No, devices will not be removed.

Seeking guidance from those who have migrated. If you have a checklist or workflow, lessons learnt please share – it would be a huge help! Thanks in advance

@ysdevgan Don't forget to un-enable PassportSSO in your Azure AD SSO Extension profile as there is a bug. It bit us in the butt.
