This is possible to login to the device but I am not sure if this is the best solution. What about to create an own service account for each device (to be license-compliant) and assign the e3 license to this account insted of using the device only license.

Jannik_Reinhard the idea is to keep costs down as the machines will only be used to monitor client environments. Interaction with the machines will be minimal but I would still like to keep them patched, secured and compliant as they are sitting in client networks.

    MorneVR :

    When you deploy this device as a self-deploying device / kiosk pc it will work. The following enrollment types are supported for a device only license:

    • Windows Autopilot Self-Deploying mode
    • Apple Device Enrollment Program without user affinity
    • Apple School Manager without user affinity
    • Apple Configurator without user affinity
    • Android Enterprise dedicated
    • Using a device enrollment manager account

    If you setup the device as an kiosk pc you also have an local user and you don't have an need for an additional AAD user. 
    A instruction how to configure an kiosk pc you can find here: Setup an Modern Kiosk PC – Modern Device Management (jannikreinhard.com)

     

    When you setup the device not as a kiosk pc I think you need an licensed user to be compliant.
