sheffieldc Chris, great questions. As of now we don't have a way to get auto sign in with the O365 account without hybrid joining. Some thoughts on your questions below:

- Yes. If you hybrid join your domain PC, users can log into windows as DOMAIN\Username and then be signed into Edge with their AAD (O365) accounts automatically.
sheffieldc Hi Sheffieldc! Forgive me for resurrecting this old thread, but did you ever find a way to have users automatically sign into their Azure AD accounts, in edge, while their PC is on-premise domain joined?
Thanks very much!

While your mileage may vary, for us enabling hybrid join had no real tangible impact beyond enabling Edge auto sign-in, so subject to your own impact assessment I would recommend enabling hybrid join.
