Migrate from on Premise to Azure AD without intune

Hello everyone,

I'm starting to migrate small clients that have AD / Fileserver to Office 365 / Azure AD

I have already managed to migrate the entire fileserver to sharepoint and some users are already logging into Azure AD (I do not intend to have a hybrid installation. It will be 100% Azure AD)

But I am not able to configure users to be restricted users on their computers. Everyone is as a local admin. Can I do this without having to purchase Intune?

    By default users are local admin when:
    They enroll into AAD from OOBE
    They enroll into AAD from the settings app

    If you don't want users to become local admin when they provision there computer, you need Intune

    Even though: I wouldn't recommend managing AAD joined computers without Intune. Sooner or later you will need central management to push out security features, updates or applications

        No, AAD doesn't have management of PC's included
        You need to Intune license for that
