What would be a good route to get these all to Enterprise?
There is only one path... volume licensing.
Or, I guess, Intune might be an option now?
Microsoft has several paths for this now.
Enterprise used to be a perk of buying SA for your Windows Pro licenses, then a few years ago, they broke enterprise out into it's own license.
Then they added Enterprise as part of E3 and better O365 licenses,
Now they have it as part of the M365 line as well. -
@Jimmy9008 you definitely want to look at this more holistically along with your Office products, assuming you're using MS Office/O365/M365/Intune/AAD, etc.

I think you mean M365, not O365. Do they really offer it now in the regular Office levels?

Some Microsoft 365 plans have Windows Enterprise included along with Advanced Threat Protection and all of the security goodness that comes with that.
That's the direction we're heading in as our clients come off their Open Value Agreements with Enterprise Upgrade + SA which is the equivalent of Desktop Enterprise E3 (as of this writing).

Yeah, that's what I was saying. I know M365 does, but I don' tthink that O365 does.

Office 365 is purely a collaboration platform.
Microsoft 365 is an all encompassing solution set for deploying, supporting, managing, and securing the collaboration platform.

Until someone in marketing figures that Office365 has better brand recognition

Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Dashrender said that O365 included the Windows OS.

With 450 desktops you are close to the requirements of Microsoft's Enterprise Agreement, which is 500 users or devices for commercial organizations and 250 for government organizations.

You're right - M365, O365 never includes the Windows OS, that I know of.
