MGB Hybrid Join

Summary

MGB Hybrid Join

Body

Step 1 — Confirm current join state

Open PowerShell (as admin) and run:

 

dsregcmd /status

Check the following lines:

 

AzureAdJoined : YES DomainJoined : NO

If that’s what you see, the PC is cloud only — not domain joined yet.


🔓 Step 2 — Disconnect from Azure AD

Go to:

Settings → Accounts → Access work or school

  1. Find the connection labeled with your Azure tenant (e.g., mgb.mgbryan.com).

  2. Click it → Disconnect → confirm removal.

  3. Reboot the PC.

⚠️ Important: This will remove the Azure profile, so make sure you’ve backed up any local user data (Documents, Desktop, etc.) if it’s tied to that account.


🖥️ Step 3 — Join to the on-prem domain

After the reboot:

  1. Open Control Panel → System → Advanced system settings → Computer Name → Change
    (or run sysdm.cpl from Run window)

  2. Select Domain and enter:

     

    mgb.mgbryan.com

  3. Enter domain credentials that have rights to join computers.

  4. Restart the PC when prompted.

Now it’ll create a local domain profile (mgb\tommy.stevenson).


☁️ Step 4 — Reconnect to Entra (Hybrid Join)

After logging in with the domain account:

  1. Run:

     

    dsregcmd /join

    or just wait for the Azure AD Connect sync (usually within 30–60 mins).

  2. Verify it worked:

     

    dsregcmd /status

    You should now see:

     

    DomainJoined : YES AzureAdJoined : YES


🧰 Step 5 — (Optional) Intune Auto-Enrollment

If Intune auto-enrollment is enabled, the device will appear in:

Entra Admin → Devices → All Devices → Join Type: Hybrid Azure AD joined
and in Intune within a few minutes.
