Not able to join a Windows 10 PC to Azure AD

Question

I have Office 365 business standard license and am the global administrator. Trying to join the AAD domain by going to settings - accounts - Access work or school - connect - clicked on Join this device to Azure Active Directory. Getting the below error saying that invalid_client with description failed to authenticate user. I do not have any subscription to Intune so MDM and MAM options are ruled out. Can anyone help

Answer 1

@Sabarigirisan Shankar Thanks for reaching out. Even if you do not have the Intune license assigned to the user, the Intune MDM is enabled by default for whole tenant.

In order to be able to just do a Azure AD Joined, please follow the steps below (I just tested by creating a new tenant and it works) :

1) Login to your Azure portal
2) Go to Azure Active Directory
3) Select Mobility

4) Select Microsoft Intune

5) Change the Scope to None for both MDM and MAM

Once done, Save it and try again on the machine, this should get joined in AAD now.

@VipulSparsh-MSFT Thanks for your response. I went to the place as suggested by you and all I see is only a message Äutomatic MDM enrollment is available only for Azure AD Premium Subscribers

@VipulSparsh-MSFT Managed to get a trial of the security bundle and am able to get it joined to the domain. I had Office 365 Business Standard license and was not able to join till I added the trial license of Security suite. Hope would be able to identify the issue before the trial ends

@VipulSparsh-MSFT

Hey, I just had the same issue (and had Intune turned on by default). I have used your great instruction, switched to None in AAD / Mobility and then was able successfully Join the device (desktop with Win10).

Thanks!
