Azure AD
Brave new world.
New customer and we went all Windows 10 with no local domain controller. We are using the Azure AD Join feature to authenticate the machine user direct to the O365 cloud. The intent was to use PDQ Deploy instead of group policy to manage the machines.
Problem: PDQ can't connect to the machines admin$ share. We can't map drives from machine to machine no matter what creds we give it. We've tried all these variants: Also tried turning off firewall. Seems like a policy restriction to me. We can use Run as different user on the same machine.
admin@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com
admin@mydomain.com
azuread\admin
azuread\admin@mydomain.onmicrosoft.com
azuread\admin@mydomain.com
.\localadmin
localhost\localadmin
computername\localadmin

Wow, that's awesome that you're attempting this! It's a concept that I think about sometimes, but I don't think it would be a good fit right now for either organization I support. I'm hoping though that within a couple years this will be easily doable.
Sorry my comment is of no help. But please update this if you figure out any kind of solution!
So far so awesome with the Azure AD rollout. The glaring hole is the lack of a true company shared drive. OneDrive is personal-only and Sharepoint is too limited to be of use. The workaround is Dropbox for Business or a master shared OneDrive (but that's web-only).
As for PDQ, we can't get it working. I looked into PolicyPak which has cloud management and it got me thinking that really PDQ should develop a cloud deploy solution with direct-to-endpoint control. That's where the small business market is going.
Hello Im trying to add two domains. Im currently on a Domain joined Server and I can connect to my single tenant just fine. But when I try to join my second tenant. I get an error " The Specified domain does not exist or cannot be connected"
When I test the connection it comes back successful. But when I try to get the containers to show. I get nothing.
