Question - once the device is re-enabled.
I've disabled a device - then needed to re-enable device once it was returned by termed user.
However, i am unable to sign in to the device now- There is no "other" user and what appears to be only the local account of the previous termed user available.
Does a disabled device eventually connect again with AAD?
Yes it does. However, if you are wanting to lock down a device so users cannot login to it, you will need to create a group (for example locked-devices) and then apply a strict policy where it prevents users from logging into the computer. Once the said computer is added to the group, sync it from intune. The user should no longer be able to sign in.
