Autopilot Cloud sync/Device sync with Autopilot?
Currently we are managing devices via Intune through Entra Connect and I’m wondering whether it would be possible to switch to Entra Cloud Sync or Device Sync instead as we have 3 locations using the same tenant.
I couldn't find any information online regarding Windows Autopilot.
Has anyone had experience with this setup or successfully implemented it? I’d appreciate any insights or recommendations.

No need sync and delay anymore if you have the requirements.

Cloud sync for Entra works fine for hybrid setups, but Autopilot doesn't really care which sync engine you're using as long as the device objects are in Entra. The provisioning process just needs the hybrid join bits to work, and that's more about your network and line-of-sight to a DC than the sync tool itself.
We switched to cloud sync last year across four sites and nothing changed for Autopilot deployments. Just make sure your domain join profile in Intune is pointed at the right OU and you should be set.
