Abstract
Techniques are described herein that are capable of utilizing agent-based configuration co-management to selectively migrate workloads from a first configuration management authority to a second configuration management authority. The first configuration management authority has a first management client and a first management server that provides a first management service. The second configuration management authority has a second management client and a second management server that provides a second management service. An operating system that runs on a computing device enrolls the first management agent and the second management agent into the second configuration management authority. The first management agent negotiates with the second management agent to determine a first subset of the workloads that is to be handled by the first management agent and a second subset of the workloads that is to be handled by the second management agent.
