What is Hybrid Azure AD Join ?
Let’s just start with the official definition from the Microsoft documentation:
Hybrid Azure AD Join: Joined to on-premises AD and Azure AD requiring organizational account to sign in to the device.
This means that after the device is Hybrid Azure AD joined, it behaves the same as any other computer connected to Active Directory.
Sign in with an Active Directory account is required.
User credentials are verified against an Active Directory domain controller.
Group Policy objects for users & computers read from the domain controller are applied automatically.
After the Active Directory connection process is complete, additional steps are performed asynchronously in the background to register the device in Azure AD as well.
