How to recover or re-add device
Hi, Moe_Kinani
From looking at the command I assume this makes a spare device on AD to which I can then add the device to the already existing user?
It’s the only workaround in your situation.
I was able to resolve this using the following steps:
For Azure AD joined devices Windows 10 devices, take the following steps:
Open the command prompt as an administrator
Enter dsregcmd /forcerecovery (You need to be an administrator to perform this action).
Click “Sign in” in the dialog that opens up and continue with the sign in process.
Sign out and sign in back to the device to complete the recovery.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/faq
Just for good measure I gave user temporarly administrator priviledges & followed the steps initially to remove the device
e.g.
1) dsregcmd /debug /leave
2) Reboot
3) Add user to local-admins
4) Log-off & on again
5) dsregcmd /forcerecovery (I was unable to use the GUI, it did not “work” e.g. no sign-in screen showed.)I used this for:

It might resolve your issue aswell
Dutch2005nlIt worked! Much thanks for being a life saver
- dsregcmd /forcerecovery on the cmd line worked PERFECTLY! Thanks so much
- This is Legendary, i just restored my IT Manager now
This saved me. I accidentally deleted a device from the admin portal and my employee could not recieve emails. The "dsregcmd /forcerecovery" wouldn't launch until the user was set up as an admin, and on a fresh restart. We are up and running now. Thank you!!!
