Event details
In my environment we have hundreds of computers filled with seasonal employees, so we implemented DEM account; however, the DEM account device limit goes off of Entra device limit setting.
DEM was used to fix the compliance issue of non active users making the device non compliant (can only change primary user not enrolled user)
Now we have to set Entra to 200 device limit, which is not ideal for security

jxsh42, can you please expand a bit on what you mean by "implemented DEM"? As SkipToTheEndpoint properly calls out, using DEM for Autopilot is not supported but it's unclear if that's what you mean here.
Also, what does "DEM was used to fix the compliance issue" mean?

DEM accounts aren't supported in Autopilot. It sounds like you should be using Self Deploy and configuring these as userless "shared" devices which makes that problem go away.
