Hi,
We are just starting with InTune and using AutoPilot, however I see by default these new computers do not appear in the local, on prem Active Directory, so this means when staff rock up at the office, they login to their laptop but they are not on the domain so if they try and access a network share or a network app they are prompted to sign in, constantly in some casese!
So, my question is this, we have a lot of legacy apps, we can't move fully to Azure just yet, we need staff working in the office on certain software, so do we make these new AutoPilot computers hybrid domain joined devices to get around this network prompt? Also, when we do this will it rename the computer account? I see it assigns a random 15 character code as the machine name, but it isn't clear if it actually renames the computer itself or just makes this a reference in AD? Any help much apprecited.
TIA
Stuart

Hi @notesguru99 , Good Afternoon,
1) I would like you to go through the below links for hybrid identity. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/whatis-hybrid-identity
Pass through Authentication Scenarios will Help you to Sync user account to AAD and AAD Connect responsible for authentication.
2) You can set an hostname policy in Auto pilot so this will avoid the random names for the device. This will helpful for you.
Ex:
•Device naming pattern
•%SERIAL%
•%RAND:x% (where X is the number of digits)
