Hello All,

Is it possible to sign into an intune'd laptop without needing an internet connection? A user tried using their laptop on a plane, but was unable to log in. Do they need to connect to airport WiFi prior to boarding the plane or is there something I can tweak in the Intune settings? The laptop is a HP 840 G10

Thanks

    @Daniel Bulakh, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my testing, I find the Microsoft Entra user will be able to log in to Windows without internet connection if the device is Microsoft Entra joined and the user has already login previously. Based on my researching, the user's credentials will be cached on the device for up to 14 days, and they will be able to log in without an internet connection.

    However, If the user is experiencing issues to login, they can connect to the airport WiFi prior to boarding the plane to ensure their credentials are cached.

    Hope the above information can help.
