Hybrid Azure AD Joined - Owner Column Blank
Hi DGMalcolm,
1. Not all devices are showing without owners because I think they were enrolled after MS updated MEM to sync the Primary User to the Device Owner. Have you tried to find the device in Intune and change the primary user? This should change the owner in Azure AD device blade. Try this url for large change.
2. As mentioned, I think they were enrolled after MS updated MEM to sync the Primary User to the Device Owner.
3. Azure AD joined is the way to go, you will simplify your device setup with AAD join not with this issue, with alot more than that.
Hope this helps!

Moe_Kinani- Thank you for your response.
All devices were enrolled in Intune between Jan 2022 and today. The device I've been referencing in this thread was enrolled on 1/12/2022. When I look at the device in Intune, I see that the "Primary User" and the "Enrolled by" are filled in with the appropriate user name. I checked several other devices and I see the same status - no owner in AAD but Primary User is populated in Intune.
Also, since I'm using HAADJ with the auto-enrollment GPO, I expected this to get filled in during first login as per the MS docs here:
-- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/remote-actions/find-primary-user
After reviewing all of that, I took a shot at changing the Primary User and then putting it back. This fixed the issue as I now see an "Owner" in AAD but this isn't a tenable fix for >25% of the environment. Is there a way to force a sync of Primary User from Intune to AAD?
