There is a problem with the migration of Windows and macOS devices: users must be granted admin rights in order to register a device in the new UEM system. However, no IT department likes to do this, as the rights could also be exploited and misused for other purposes.
Even if the migration itself usually only takes a few minutes, permissions would have to be distributed for a longer period of time, as it is not clear exactly when a user will perform the migration. If the permissions were withdrawn too early, this would lead to frustration among users and increased support requests from IT. Monitoring who has migrated and when would be incredibly time-consuming – especially with large numbers of devices.
As a result, only a few companies have migrated Windows devices to date – but there is a growing need to do so.
