Join Azure AD after installing Windows 10 1607
-
I have a computer that is not onsite joined to a domain. I want to join it to Azure AD.
It's Windows 10 Pro version 1607.
I've found a few documents that indicate a button under Settings > System > About, but that button is no longer there in 1607.
Anyone do this?
Heck I'm not even sure you can do this since 1607 during install.
-
I do not have a configured azure AD handy to test, but if I put in my hotmail it bitches.
-
Yep did that - you can't log into the computer using your Azure AD account - only the locally created one.

Did you try to add a user now after that? and see if you cna add the azure ad creds?
-
This link on that about page seems to indicate that it might do what I want, but what little I could find online about seems to imply more RMM stuff, and not AAD Join.

No, I can when I go back to that machine after 5 I guess. That would be weird though.. but who knows.

What version of Windows 10 (home, pro, enterprise)?
I thought Windows X Home was blocked from joining domains.
-
It's Pro.

It's Pro.
Checking on my VM to see what might have changed, give me 5.

That said, the windows 10 device i jsut logged into is home and it added the account where it complained when i used my hotmail account.
no windows 10 pro device handy today

@JaredBusch Now that's just odd, you were able to join a Home version to a domain?
I wonder when Microsoft broke that.....

Azure AD is not a domain.
-
@JaredBusch You're right.
But I'm still confused why you have the option under computer settings.
Can you try and join home to AD?

The link is suppose to be there on Home edition so you can join it to Azure AD & inTune for MDM

And how many home users take advantage of it? (I'm asking for posterity) I have users who have a hard enough time typing in a password, much less syncing up their accounts.

It would be for users buying their own devices to use remotely for work.

Exactly - it BYOD!

Here's an article that shows you how to use local AD via GPO to add all of your computers to your Azure AD.

Though this does not give me what I currently want, because I'm not using a local AD.
