Migrate Azure AD Registered to Azure AD Joined

Hello,

 

I have ~100 Windows devices that are currently enrolled in Intune and all of them are now Azure AD Registered. I don't see anything in the "Access work or school" dialog that will let me change then to Azure AD Joined. Is there a procedure for migrating these systems to ADD Joined?

 

TIA

  • HI, what happens when you disconnect first, remove the object in azure and then go to settings - ->Work or school account --> Join to Azure AD option.

    But Microsoft is recommending to change the ownership of the registered device so the device can be converted to an autopilot device (of course you need to configure autopilot and make sure you enable the option to convert existing devices)
    After the device is registered as an autopilot device, you need to wipe it and enroll it into azure ad


     

    guess my blog about aadr vs aadj needs some updating 🙂

      I did those steps - disconnect, remove AAD object, then reconnect through "Access work or school" - but the option to join AAD doesn't show. The only option is the 'Connect' button in the middle.

      I think you're right about the Autopilot option and it's a path I'm investigating. But that poses a profile challenge. Most of these systems have been in user for 9+ months so there is a a significant amount of data in the local profile and other things like browser-stored passwords and such. I'm beginning to think that migration isn't an option.

      Thx
