Switch from On-prem AD to Entra ID joined device?

Question

Hi, what is the process to remove a device from on-prem AD management to Entra ID joined device? Do you need a Windows Pro licensed device to be able to Entra ID join?

Appreciate your help!

Answer 1

Hi @Red2100 , you need to unjoin the device from the on-premises domain before joining it to Entra ID using

dsregcmd /leave. You can also use the Remove-MgDevice -DeviceId command to fully remove the device.

You do need a Windows Pro licensed device to be able to use Entra ID join.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.

Wow, the "dsregcmd /leave" command worked like a charm. I was able to see the Connect option and Entra ID join. Bravo, thank you James!
