How to change Join Type from Hybrid Azure AD join to Azure AD join

Scott, Yvette 26

Hello,

So we we're just catching up to Intune! I have a 100 pc's desktops and laptops that have been registered/added to Intune, however they all have a join type of Hybrid Azure AD joined.

I was told that we need to reimage all the computers with JOIN type HYBRID Azure AD to get the devices to show up as JOINED TYPE AZURE AD Joined.

Is it a way in the Intune console to change the Join TYPE without reimaging 100 pc's?

Please advise.

Thank you so much!

To move devices between join states, i.e. hybrid to entra joined, aka cloud native, the user will barely notice, have a look at PowerSyncPro Migration Agent (https://powersyncpro.com/powersyncpro-migration-agent/), it can reconfigure 10's of thousands of machines in minutes, repermissioning user profile, apps, security, workloads, can also handle bitlocker, AIP and much more.

We recently (in the last 4months) used it to migrate two different companies, 2x 12k+ workstations in a single weekend per company. Worked a dream. 90% of devices were up and running by 10am the Monday morning, the others were international, annual leave or different time zones. Average reconfiguration time was 7 minutes for the user. It will also do offline domain join too.

No, not in a supported way. HAADJ is much more than an attribute of a device, it is a state of the device with many ramifications for authentication and thus this is not a simple change. You can manually unregister the device from AAD, unjoin them from the un-prem domain, and then rejoin them to AAD. You will then have to migrate the user profile(s) as well as these will be associated with the on-prem AD domain and not AAD.

Or, you can reset them. Assuming you've embraced cloud-native (I know this is possibly a big assumption but going down this path future proofs you in so many different ways), then resetting the device is a fairly straight-forward process and involves no user loss (except a little bit of time).

Could you point me to the MS documentation on how to accomplish the reset when going to cloud native, in the second scenario you mentioned?
