    Hi Anand, By design this should work with cached credentials, so once a machine is Azure AD joined and the user on the device successfully logged on to the device, you could disable the network connection and logon again. Even without a connection to Azure AD.

    Thanks a lot Bert for your quick reply. One more question, when we delete the user in AD Azure, the user is still able to login using the old credentials. The user is connected to internet and we believe the event of deleting the user has not synced/broadcast-ed. Any thoughts on this?

     

    Thanks

      I am sure that you can't able login after federation service (AD-FS between Azure AD and Domain Joined Computer through internet) connectivity restored between Azure AD with domain joined computer.

        Hello,

        I have a little bit similar question. I have AAD joined device, on-prem(ADDS) user synced to AAD and ADFS. Question(I cannot find answer), how it is working in the situation: User is signed to the computer, he turn off the computer and travel to holiday. When he starts the computer (14 days later) on the hotel (without internet connection) is he able to log in to Windows? Is there any exact time for credential caching - how long can computer keep the user credentials (authenticated over ADFS) keep for user login?

        Thank you for answers or ideas..
