Support Azure AD domain join for Windows Server 2016
Microsoft should strongly consider implementing support for Azure AD join in future builds of Windows Server 2016. I how a couple of customers that have nearly finished the transition to all cloud and is left with a couple of servers due to legacy software. They are currently left with the option to deploy Azure AD Domain Services for supporting a couple (2-5) servers.
Currently, we are not aware of any plans from Windows Server for this capability. We’ll continue to work with Windows Server to revisit this in the near future

Please provide Azure AD join on Windows Server Essentials 2019 and any other version of Windows Server. Thank you.

Its 2021 guys, come on. This shouldn't even need to be discussed.

We have incidental server usage at clients that don't need domain controllers and server sprawl, but would like an on-prem server to augment their azure resources. Would like to see windows server able to be joined to azure ad, be managed by MEP/InTune, and MABS to run without a domain.

any plans to bringing this feature to server os for on premise? or standalone? (without ad connect)
it would be great to not have to support local accounts on our standalone servers. -

Needed for OneDrive SSO in RDS2019.

This feature is needed. As an example, you can have a requirement for application compliance purposes, to completely isolate authentication of users from AD DS on premises to the AAD in the cloud.

Should be able to login to my Windows servers with an Azure AD account, just as I do today with my Windows 10 clients, we are in 2020, how could this not be supported....even in Server 2019 I hear its not there, doesn't sound like the Microsoft I know!!

Agreed. This needs to be a thing in future Windows Server releases (including 2019). And if you could backport it to Server 2016 would be nice too.

Unplanned.... wow.... just.. why do you want us to still use an on-prem AD... its unnecessary and AD connect is really a bad idea.. come on..

This is really needed. The servers use AADDS today and it has a few limitations. If the servers and WVD could just join AAD as regulers W10 does and we could eliminiate the need of an AD DS server with the users it would help us a lot.
Login to app servers/RDS could be done using the already logon hello credentials
Guest users from trusted organisations wich use same ERP system but is in a different tenant can use their own credentials an Guest user to access instead of having to get a second account in correct domain wich leavs a lot of confusion.
