Azure AD Conditional Access - Require Domain Joined Device

Does the ‘Domain Join’ checkbox in Azure AD Conditional Access require Azure AD Domain join, or does it mean on-premises Domain Join? The attached screen shot says ‘Not Azure AD Domain Join’ but the ...

    Correct, that would be on-prem AD domain-join.
    Why it's confusing is because it's possible to have on-prem AD domain-joined PCs automatically register and enroll with Azure AD.

So if a machine is not joined to on-prem AD and it is only joined to Azure AD, you're saying conditional access won't work? Why doesn't the documentation list the requirement of being on-prem AD joined?

    An Azure AD joined machines will work with conditional access. You will just need to use the value of "Require device to be marked as compliant" This requires the device to be managed through Intune however and does not allow you to use only Azure AD joined machines that are not managed.

      Hi,

       

      Can you please elaborate further.

       

      We have following requirement.

      Only the devices issued by IT departmernt should be able to access SharePoint Online. How can I acheive this using conditional or compliance policies?

       

      We don't have on prem AD.

       

      Thanks,

        The conditional access policy that checks for domain join membership of a machine is referring to on-premises AD, so if you do not have on-prem AD then you'll need to use other conditional access choices to achieve your goals.

        One idea would be to enroll your IT computers in Intune and then use a compliance policy that checks for device 'health' (which relies on intune enrollment).

        Another idea would be to put your IT computers behind a NAT that can be used for conditional access checking based on the external IP address of that NAT.
