Endpoint Manager - Local Administrator?
Hi,
I have searched the usual places for an answer to this question and found the only way to achieve what I require is by PowerShell scripting. Before I go down that route I wanted to check to see if I had missed an inbuilt feature.
When on-boarding new devices, user accounts are set to standard. What is the best way to add a local admin account from AAD to perform administrative tasks?
Regards
Ben

- Hi,
I can tell you a very long story or I can post my blog with I guess the information you need:

Please let me know if you need more assistance- Thanks for the reply. Since posting the question I done some more digging and found a solution, an easier one than PowerShell.
In AAD under Devices, Device Settings, there is an option to add additional local administrators to AAD joined devices. I have added the admin account into that list, tested and its working fine.
