Oct 27, 2022Great question, there is a couple different ways to think about this. Are your physical PC's all HAADJ or AADJ? The value of AADJ is that it decouples and reduces the need to maintain on-prem infrastructure, so simplification is a huge reason. The other is PC's don't need line of sight to the AD domain controller, this is a huge advantage for physical PC's that are off your work network so alignment on domain join is a reason along with agility to roam anywhere as long as device has internet connection. Hope that provides some reasons, it really boils down to flexibility and simplification.

Thank you. I guess in a scenario where the Azure vnet already has a domain controller VM and a file/SQL server, as an example, if I strictly AADJ the Cloud PC's, will they be able to access all these server resources properly as if they were joined in the classic AD join method? I would assume yes but please clarify if I am incorrect. I know that using AADJ may affect the use of Group Policy on the Cloud PC. (seperate item and I know that Intune can apply policies as needed to replace classic Group Policies). Thanks
