GPO Azure AD

Question

Is it possible to work with the GPOs created in my Windows Server On-Premises in Azure AD? Or is the only way to work with GPO is creating a virtual machine in Azure AD DS?

Answer 1

Hi @Juan Redondo ,

Azure Active Directory (AAD) does not support GPOs.

But Azure Active Directory Domain Service (AADDS) does:

@Juan Redondo You can also consider using Microsoft endpoint manager (Intune) which now allows you to target many GPO like policies from Intune portal. Most of the GPO settings can be found there https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/administrative-templates-windows

There is a new feature which is in preview currently, which allows you to export your GPOs from on prem AD and use them in Intune to be deployed in Intune enrolled devices. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/group-policy-analytics
