Hi

We are currently looking to add more than 1 user as a azure local admin to our azure joined devices. A question that we have and need assistance with is when the users are added in as local admins on the device, how would they login to the azure joined device as the local admin. Normally as local admin on a non azure joined device, you would login as .\administrator. However when we login with the addition local admin on the Azure joined device, you will need to go though the azure setup including setting up a pin. Is this normal as the other user as local admin has already done this setup.

    @Philip That will depend on whether your users are synced from an AD Connect or Cloud Only (created directly on Azure AD).

    If your tenant users are synchronized from on-premises Active Directory, use "Contoso\username".

    If your tenant users are created in Azure AD, use "AzureAD\UserUpn"
