Allow removal of "Connected to Windows" accounts from Edge profiles
- Jul 24, 2020
Thanks for the feedback, we've heard this from other users too. Re: the connected to windows accounts, we are working to remove this but since it is cross group collaboration, it may take a while. We eventually would like to just sign you in with the profile account.
Re: Adding an account only to the app, if you select the "This app only" option in the sign in flow where you are asked to manage the device, the account won't be added to the computer and nor will your device get managed.
tboggsAgree and have more to add to this problem. I'm an independent IT consultant, with admin rights to many M365/Azure tenants, limited admin rights to some -- and a personal M365 account.
When I try to log in to one of my TENANT accounts where I'm a partial (not global) admin (and only for this one), the login screen switches to my personal account, and I have to "use other account."
I'm willing to do the dance, but I think it's what's breaking my ability to use Bookings with my tenant's account (where I am trying to publish my availability). Bookings breaks whenever I try to create a shared Bookings page (I get an 'ugh-oh' error, which is not idiomatic, but that's a different problem...).
The tenant in question is "Connected to Windows" and I am unable to disconnect it.
In an attempt to dissociate my personal M365 account from this "problem" client tenant account, I have
- removed the personal account from 'accounts'
- renamed it
- removed the 'problem' email address from my personal account and made another one primary (and sole)
- signed out everywhere from the tenant account
- rebooted
IDK whether I have to hack the registry or get an AAD admin on the tenant to un-manage my PC.
It's a royal PITA.
