Autologon in Intune
I have an AD environment ifsynchronized with AAD. In addition to using Intune for device management. I'm having trouble setting up Autologon with the Kiosk profile in Intune. It turns out th...
ecarrasco - IDK if you managed to resolve this problem by now, but I was also facing this challenge at our end in what is a very similar infrastructure setup.
I am not using a Kiosk profile, instead, I'm using a domain account, but I need this account to deliver the same type of service as a kiosk display would, hence the need to autonomously login to a predefined account following OS/Driver updates, etc.
My setup is a Win11Ent machine, Intune enrolled and managed (with mostly default policies applied).
I managed to find a workaround via the Sysinternals Autologon app > https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon
I had to run what I think is the 32-bit application, as the 64-bit variants didn't work in my setup.
I hope this helps anyone else looking for a solution.
P.S. Interestingly, the preceding machine doing the same job is also enrolled in Intune and is provisioned via the same AD/AAD security groups, yet in the User Accounts section (netplwiz) the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option isn't missing! The only difference is the preceding PC running the same account and services is a Win10 machine, not Win11. I therefore fail to understand how the issue could be Policy related as I have two machines with the same memberships, accounts, privileges, etc, differing only by OS. It's rather irritating when MS does things like this.

I use GPO to delete the EAS policies set by Intune for my Autologon user and use Microsoft SysInternals to secure the autologon password.
