Is 80004005 a known indicator of Hybrid Join failure?

Yes. In Autopilot HAADJ, it is strongly associated with ODJ failure, DC connectivity issues, and Domain join failure during ESP/OOBE.

 

Is fallback to Entra Join expected?

Not an intentional fallback. But Yes, this resulting behavior is expected. Autopilot does not block completion if Hybrid fails.

 

Is wipe + reprovision required?

Yes — this is the only supported recovery. There is no supported in-place conversion during Autopilot lifecycle

 

Offsite / Public Wi-Fi scenario

Requirement: Hybrid Join requires DC line-of-sight during OOBE

 

From design part, I recommend avoiding hybrid autopilot unless strictly required. I recommend Entra Joined and native cloud management instead of hybrid autopilot.
