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 add this feature. There are many circumstances where this is needed and it is ridiculous to have to deploy AADDS just for a few servers.

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

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.

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..
