Device Migration from On-prem AD to Azure AD
Hello All, We want to migrate our On-Prem AD devices to Azure AD and enroll into intune. We have Azure AD sync and all but needs to convert machine to Azure AD join only not Hybrid AD. So we would like to create new user profile on machine. We have used two methods so far. 1) Reset the machine and use join to Azure AD from OOBE. ( Issue - This will make user a Administrator for that machine and we dont want that ) 2) Unbind from on-prem AD, join to Azure AD manually but the same issue like number 1. 3) Using Hardware Hash, register devices to Autopilot and then reset all the machines. ( Issue - This will take too long to migrate 250 machines and helping remote workers are quite difficult ) Has anyone tried any different method or is there any expert suggestion ? Thanks!
Migrating from Hybrid to pure Azure AD
We've currently got our domain/environment setup in a Hybrid AD. We've got a DC with AzureAD Connect installed and syncing to Azure. The plan is to uninstall AzureAD connect, demote the DC server, manually join computers to AzureAD. Will this work? I'm trying to understand if there is any consideration when uninstalling the AzureAD connect or disconnecting the server from Azure. Thanks!
Break-glass Account Prompted for Authenticator App Despite Exclusions
We have a break-glass account configured with two FIDO2 security keys as the only authentication method. The account is: Excluded from Microsoft Authenticator in Authentication Methods policy Also, the included target is a dynamic group that includes all users but the break glass account. Excluded from the MFA Registration Campaign Also, the included target is a dynamic group that includes all users but the break glass account. Excluded from all Conditional Access policies However, whenever we test the account, it still gets prompted to set up the Microsoft Authenticator app during sign-in. We can skip the setup, but ideally, the prompt should not appear for this account. How can we prevent the Authenticator setup prompt entirely for this break-glass account?
Grant Just-in-Time Admin Access with Microsoft Entra PIM
In my lab, I worked with Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to grant Just-in-Time admin access. Instead of permanent assignments, users become eligible for roles and must activate them only when needed. Steps I tested: - Configured roles as eligible rather than permanent - Required MFA and approval for role activation - Verified access automatically expired after the time window This approach reduces standing privileges and aligns with Zero Trust by securing privileged access. Curious — does your org still keep permanent Global Admins, or have you moved to JIT with PIM?
Convert Hybrid Azure AD Join Device to Azure AD Join Only
Hi , We are in Hybrid state ( SCCM+ Intune =CoManaged ) and Hybrid Azure AD Join . Now as next step moving to cloud only , We are moving device from Hybrid to Azure only State . While testing Manually remove a device from AD domain post reboot noticed that not able to even login with Azure that means loose the complete state ( AD as well as Azure ) , Login with Local account found with DSREGCMD that device is not attached to any . If I just removed the AD domain why this has removed from Azure AD Join as well .What is best way to Remove domain join but keep Azure AD join , Loose Users settings as well. Thanks MSB
Force user to reset password in hybrid
Hi, we work in a hybrid environment at the moment, and it has been discovered that if you are using classic AD and reset a user's password and leave the tick-box saying user must change password at next logon, the password reset works! But, if you were to select the tick-box with the intention to make the user change their password, the password does not get reset and the user never gets asked to reset their password? Also, if you try and reset the user's password on AAD, you get the following error message: Because we cannot force the user to reset their password by AD or AAD, we have to tell the user to do it themselves by the classic Ctrl-Alt-Del method or set their personal password for them over the phone. So, what my question is, is why can I not force the user to change their password from either AD or AAD?Reachability of a domain across multiple tenants
I have a general question about an Entra scenario that we currently need to implement. Our company consists of 3 companies (companyA.com, companyB.com, companyC.com), each with their own MS Tenant. Here, A is the parent company and B and C are subsidiaries. Is it somehow possible, perhaps with Cross Tenant Synchronization from B, C -> A, that users from the subsidiaries can log in with the parent company's domain name in Entra, Teams & Co., and that Teams invitations can also be sent via an email address of the parent company? So I have mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons and I would like this user to also be known as mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons in the Microsoft ecosystem. From a marketing perspective, it is important that all employees log in and are reachable with the same domain. A migration into one tenant is probably not easily possible for legal reasons. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Christian
