Active Directory Join to Azure AD Join

So this is an interesting topic and one I have to be clear This is not a Microsoft supported process today (Though all the steps on their own are supported). We are pushing for Microsoft to provide a formally supported method but until then this might do. Internally we more commonly refer to this process as Hybrid to Azure AD Join as it refers to the device having a relationship with Azure AD through Hybrid Registration, but the trust anchor is still AD and still requires that pesky line of sight as well as all the overhead of legacy Active Directory. This is all very legacy dependent thus the need to perform a migration.

Now if the idea of a None supported scenarios makes you feel a little under the weather then this probably isn't going to be for you, but a supported method would be a Wipe and reload using Autopilot to bootstrap into Azure AD or building a task sequence ad then at the end executing the PPKG to perform the Azure AD join, which is something I will need to document as well in a future Blog.

So I decided to do something different  here and actually record a video and narrate don’t worry for those of you preferring a good old fashion blog post I created those as well!

This video goes into the process for deployment using Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager Task Sequence.
