I'm hitting a bit of a brick wall here.

 

Have setup a user with Microsoft 365 Business Standard as they wanted a custom email domain along with all the Office apps. Email domain etc is all set up and working no problem.

 

But they would like to log into Windows 10 (Pro, but not domain joined) on their laptop using their new Microsoft 365 account, but when I try to add them as a user on their laptop it says that it's not a Microsoft account. From what I can tell this is due to the fact that it's a "Work" or "School" account rather than a "Personal" one since they are on the Business plan with Hosted Exchange.

 

But surely I should still be able to use these logins for signing into Windows?

Have a quick cruise through this doc to join the machine to AzureAD, which will then let you login using 365 credentials.

I'd like to be wrong, but I think you need 365 Business Premium for this.

CYaBro:

 

Did you follow the instructions on that Microsoft link?

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/user-help/user-help-join-device-on-network#to-join-an-already-configured-windows-10-device

 

It will create a new user profile so any files etc they have in their original profile will need to be moved over.

 

 

@CYaBro No I hadn't. I was under the impression (obviously incorrect) that the Standard plan didn't have anything to do with Azure. So I'd only tried the other option which just added access to the work account to the existing local account.

 

When chose "Join this device to Azure Active Directory" it worked. Thanks very much for the help.
