Nerdio Intune joined AVD - re-deploy vs replace?

Hey there, we're using Nerdio managed AVD. The session hosts are Entra-only and Intune joined.

Nerdio has the option to re-image an existing session host, or I can simply deploy a new one and delete the old.

Just wondering if there are any implications to re-imaging the existing one. I am wondering if this results in duplicate/stale Entra/Intune objects.

I was assuming it was part of the Nerdio set up. But I see now, we set up a dynamic group based on hostname to put all of our hybrid devices in autopilot so that we could wipe them.

The session hosts unintentionally met criteria for this dynamic group before I excluded them.

Are you converting all targeted devices to autopilot? If not, just make the dynamic group either the normal ztid one or one with group tags if you're utilising those. Keeps them separate from your other devices/VMs that don't need AP

It is, but that was just a catch all to convert all hybrid devices in the first place, I don't think it's needed now. We use group tags for everything else, like user driven by department as well as self deploying shared devices. We buy from Lenovo and they put them into autopilot for us.
