About this tag
The rhel migration tag covers guidance for organizations moving Microsoft Intune-managed Red Hat Enterprise Linux desktops from RHEL 8 to RHEL 9. Recent discussions focus on Microsoft’s support timeline, including the end of Intune support for RHEL 8 in July 2026, and explain why RHEL 9 is the practical target for most managed devices. Topics include user-assisted Linux enrollment, migration scheduling, device compliance, identity configuration, Conditional Access validation, and compatibility planning. RHEL 10 is presented as an option for hardware and workloads that are already certified. The archive is useful for endpoint teams planning a controlled upgrade while preserving management and access-control workflows.
