New accounts try to sync to AD account and not the AAD account
- Thanks for checking anyway, hopefully one of the devs will see this and fill a bug report for it
HotCakeX: I'm using the Beta channel, AAD sync is working as anticipated. However that is only when you create a new profile
If I set up a test user and open Edge, I'm prompted to import from Chrome and that initial user it sets up and imports everything into is the AD account which is not capable of syncing. I can create a new profile and then import again and that is then importing into the AAD account as seen below
VladimirK They are Hybrid Azure Joined devices. However I've kept an eye on the change summaries from recent releases and this issue was resolved in version 80.0.361.5 that was released on December 17th. I'd recommend setting that up for a test user and seeing if that resolves it for you as well. At the time I tested with a new user on the Canary branch and was correctly prompted to set everything up for the AAD user over the AD user

Fixed an issue where Edge installations on Azure Active Directory domain-joined machines get signed into the wrong account on first run.SC-Benny I had the same issue and just found the solution in GPO. Use a combination of the following Edge policies:
Configure whether a user always has a default profile automatically signed in with their work or school account - Disabled
Enable Proactive Authentication - Enabled
Restrict which accounts can be used as Microsoft Edge primary account - .*@yourdomain.com
