    2. Can multiple different Office 365 users log into the same PC?

     

    If all that users are in the same tenant, yes they can login into the same PC. Same like local AD, you can login into any computer in the same domain.

Excellent. Thank you both. A few follow-ups...

 

1. I assume this will NOT work with Windows 10 home edition?

 

2. Can multiple different Office 365 users log into the same PC?

 

3. Is there anything I need to do to configure Azure in my Office 365 account?

 

4. The article that Salvator linked to shows how to dō this for First Run Experience. Is there a similar how-to for a PC that was previously setup without connecting to Azure AD?

 

Thanks!!

  1. Correct.
  2. Yes. At login you input the user(name), which should be one of the users in AAD.
  3. There are some settings in AAD you could want to configure. If you have an existing Office 365 subscription, you already have an Azure AD tenant.
  4. Yes. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-azureadjoin-user-upgrade. But be sure to understand the difference between the actual AAD Join and the BYOD Join. Point 2 above works only with AAD Join.
