Hello all,

I’m looking for information regarding Hybrid Join process because it is not clear for me, this is what I have:

Entra Connect syncs what I have under the OU I have specified on its configurations.I have joined a new device to on-prem AD, out of that OU, therefore Entra Connect will not sync the device.The device can reach the Microsoft endpoints (Network connectivity requirements accomplished)

What happens when Entra Connect does not sync the device but it’s triggered the Automatic Device Join task? Will it become hybrid join even without Entra Connect synched it?

I have read this:

Hybrid join is a process initiated from the device itself and Azure AD. Hybrid Join does not depend on, nor is able to be achieved from Azure AD Connect, though AAD Connect does stage the device in Azure, allowing policies to be more immediately applied and AAD Connect

Is this correct?

So, when Entra Connect syncs the device the purpose is only to, let’s say, provision the device  in Entra ID ?

If Entra Connect does not sync the device, Hybrid Join will happen no matter what?

The process is documented here: How Microsoft Entra device registration works – Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn but I still have doubts 😞

Many thanks!

Best regards,

Ivo Duarte
