Hi, Brent here from the Windows Server team. Can I ask you to elaborate a bit more on how you would use Entra ID device join on Windows Servers? When is it most painful to be missing this capability? Servers in the cloud, Servers at the edge, in your datacenter? Would you use this with traditional AD or no?

Hi Brentfor any news on this Feature Request? I would be a huge shift for security and convenience either way if Windows Server vNext would support the same technology for sign-in and Entra Join (not necessarily hybrid please), as Windows 11 24H2 / 25H2 does.

Some customers do not need any Kerberos but still need Windows Server.
