Jamf Pro Server Migration (with Intune Integration)

We are using a single Jamf Pro Server for our about 800-900 internal Mac devices. This server is hosted on an old Windows 2008 R2 server, which is only accessible from the internal corporate network (URL is internal hostname of the server). This Jamf Pro server was installed first in 2011/2012 and "survived" many Jamf Pro updates and some crashes and DB repairs in the last years. The server is actually running fine, but we guess the DB is filled with uneeded records and maybe corrupt links between db tables.

End of last year we configured Intune Integration on this server and about half of our enrolled Mac devices are already registered in Intune for conditional access. We have a tight timetable to register ALL of our managed Mac devices. As our current Jamf Pro server is not accessible from the Internet, we have decided to install a new Jamf Pro server in our DMZ. This new server is now in installation/configuration state. As a general recommendation from many admins here on Jamfnation, we don't want to migrate the old MySQL DB to the new server, so we installed a fresh new DB. All policies and packages will now be manually configured, which is not a bad thing, as many older policies can be reviewed and skipped if not needed anymore. Our plan was to run these both server in parallel for a short time and every Mac device should just re-enroll on the new server, so they receive the new MDM profile with the new Jamf Pro URL (Public Internet URL).

Now, we have a major issue: How can we configure the Intune Integration on the new server, so we don't lose the registration state of the already registered Mac devices and still can register new Macs on the new server? In Intune, we only can configure ONE Jamf instance. Of course, we could try to enter the same Intune App ID and App key on the new Jamf server. But Intune has still the old Jamf URL.
We created a Jamf support case today, but maybe some of you guys have already done this or a similar scenario in the past.
We just want to migrate our already registered (and enrolled) Mac devices from the old Jamf Pro server to the new server (without importing the whole DB from the old server). If possible. ;-)

Thanks for any hint...

Hi,

We have the same challenge ahead and still don’t know how to preserve Intune integration. Our worse scenario will be asking about 80 to perform Company Portal enrollment again.

Any update on the support case?
