Device Migration from On-prem AD to Azure AD
Hi there,
okay, a little bit late, but this results that users get a new profiles. And this action takes a very long time (about 3 hours while changing from local ad to azure ad). There is probably an very long error timeout.
That is not a top solution.
Researching for best practice. Perhaps with SCCM on prem support.
0--O1 There is a Microsoft article on this. When you unjoin a computer from an AD Domain and move it to a workgroup, Windows will use the domain name as the workgroup name. Then when you try to Azure AD Join the computer, the computer will start looking for the AD domain. It will stop looking in 3 hours (times-out). To work around this, when you unjoin the computer from AD, change the workgroup name to anything else that is not the name of the AD (e.g., change it to Workgroup). Then when you Azure AD Join the computer, it happens in real time.
