Description

info

This error occurs when attempting to join a Windows 10 computer to Microsoft Entra ID under specific conflicting conditions. The error appears when both MDM automatic enrollment is enabled in Azure AND the legacy Intune PC software client (Intune PC agent) is installed on the device. This represents a management method conflict that must be resolved before enrollment can proceed.

Common Causes

🔄 Management Method Conflicts

Enrollment failures occur due to conflicting management approaches. MDM automatic enrollment might be enabled in Azure. Legacy Intune PC client could be present on device. These management methods are incompatible when used simultaneously. Understanding management method compatibility is crucial for successful enrollment.

⚙️ Configuration State Issues

Configuration conflicts can prevent successful enrollment. Azure MDM settings might need adjustment. Legacy client presence affects enrollment capability. Management state requires clear definition. These configuration factors require systematic resolution.

Resolution Steps

1️⃣ Option A: Disable MDM Auto-Enrollment

Modify Azure MDM settings:

  1. Sign in to Azure portal
  2. Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID
  3. Select Mobility (MDM and MAM)
  4. Click Microsoft Intune
  5. Set MDM User scope to None
  6. Save changes

2️⃣ Option B: Remove Intune PC Client

Uninstall legacy client software:

  1. Open Windows Settings
  2. Navigate to Apps & Features
  3. Locate Intune PC software client
  4. Uninstall the client
  5. Restart device if prompted

3️⃣ Enrollment Retry

After implementing one solution:

  1. Allow time for changes to propagate
  2. Verify chosen configuration is active
  3. Attempt Microsoft Entra ID join
  4. Monitor for successful completion

Best Practices

👨‍💻 For IT Administrators

Effective enrollment management requires clear management method strategy. Implement consistent device management approach. Maintain documentation of management decisions. Develop clear procedures for transitioning management methods. Create systematic approaches to configuration verification. Consider implementing automated compliance monitoring.

🔄 For Configuration Management

Successful enrollment requires proper management method alignment. Develop clear processes for management transitions. Maintain accurate documentation of configuration requirements. Implement thorough testing procedures for enrollment. Create comprehensive documentation of configuration steps.

Troubleshooting Tips

Management Method Selection

When addressing enrollment conflicts, choose one management approach. Consider organizational requirements when selecting method. Implement chosen solution completely. Test enrollment after changes. Monitor for successful transition.

Important Considerations

Management transitions require careful handling. Configuration changes may need time to apply. Legacy client removal might affect existing management. Consider impact on managed devices. Monitor enrollment success carefully.

Additional Notes

💡 Choose one management method
