To migrate Group Policy Object (GPO) settings for Microsoft Office to Microsoft Intune, the administrator must first replicate these settings within an Intune configuration profile. The process begins in the Microsoft Intune admin center by creating a configuration profile. This profile acts as a container for the settings. For GPO-like settings, the administrator would typically choose the "Administrative Templates" or "Settings Catalog" profile type for the Windows 10 and later platform. Next, the administrator must configure the Administrative Templates settings within the newly created profile. This involves navigating through the available settings (which are based on ADMX files, just like GPOs) and configuring the Microsoft Office settings to match those in the on-premises GPO. Finally, after the settings are configured, the administrator must assign the profile to an Azure AD group containing the target users or devices. Without this assignment, the configured settings will not be applied to any computers. Incorrect Options: Import an ADMX file: This action is only necessary if you need to configure settings using ADMX templates that are not already built into Intune (e.g., for third-party apps or custom settings). Standard Microsoft Office settings are natively available in Intune's Administrative Templates and Settings Catalog, making this step unnecessary for a typical migration. Create a compliance policy: Compliance policies are used to evaluate whether a device meets certain security and configuration requirements (e.g., OS version, disk encryption). They do not push specific application settings like a GPO does, so this is not the correct tool for this task. Set a scope tag to the policy: Scope tags are an optional feature used for role-based access control (RBAC) in Intune. They allow you to control which administrators can view and manage specific Intune objects. This is related to administrative management, not the technical migration and application of policy settings. Assign the policy: This is a generic term. "Assign the profile" is the more precise and correct final action in this specific workflow.

policy settings in Microsoft Intune.

Reference: The article outlines the process under the "Create the template" section: "1.

Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center. 2. Select Devices > Configuration profiles >

Create profile... 3. In Basics, enter a name... 4. In Configuration settings, select a setting...

5. In Assignments, select the group(s) that will receive this profile." This directly supports the

correct sequence: Create, Configure, and Assign.

Reference: This document explains that a "profile" is the object created in Intune to manage

settings and that once created, it must be "assigned or 'deployed' to different user and

device groups." This confirms the fundamental workflow.

URL: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/administrative-templatesimport-custom

Reference: The "Before you begin" section clarifies that you should "Use the built-in

Administrative Templates" first and that importing custom ADMX files is for settings that

"aren't available natively." This justifies why "Import an ADMX file" is not the correct first

step for migrating standard Office settings.
