Entra Registered vs Entra Joined
Hello All,
In a workgroup environment, all devices are Entra Registered, and Intune enrollment is enabled for the group. I understand that Entra Joined devices have greater management capabilities in Intune than Entra Registered devices.
Could you clarify which features or policies are not available for Entra Registered devices compared to Entra Joined by Intune? Please share any relevant Microsoft references.
Thanks

Hello Drivesafely,
When devices are Entra Joined, you have full support for device management through Intune.
However, with Entra Registered devices, you don't have full MDM control. For example, policies like enforcing or activating BitLocker on the devices will not apply.
Entra Registered devices do not have a direct trust relationship with Entra ID, which limits the level of management you can enforce.
I will also included some documentation on this topic for further reference:
