Migrating devices from an Azure AD tenant to another Azure AD tenant

Rob B 6

Hello, is it possible to migrate user devices, such as PC's, laptop from one AAD tenant to another AAD tenant. I currently have 7 users laptops in another AAD tenant( Tenant A). I want to migrate those 7 user devices from that AAD tenant( Tenant A), to another AAD tenant (Tenant B) and the users can log into (Tenant B) successfully.

Thank you in advance

We migrated an entire tenant of users, licenses and mailboxes from one tenant to another. However, when we were done we found that majority of the devices were still joined to the old tenant. Is there an easier way to do this? Im not a scripting person at all, but I have also found that manually doing it, you MUST be signed out of office, including teams and one drive's tray icons, etc or it doesn't work. Any way to automate this? We do also have hybrid joined devices that fall into this category.

What method did you use to migrate the users/licenses and mailboxes? Were doing the same now but MS is telling us our licenses wont migrate and our users have to be manually migrated via their tool or something like bittitan

Yes, you can migrate user devices from one tenant to another. You need to follow the below steps -

You need to uninstall AAD connect and re-install it again by using the global account of the new tenant. Please follow the document to configure hybrid azure ad join.

You can then run the below command to leave the device from old tenant:
Dsregcmd /leave

You can then trigger the device registration process by running Dsregcmd /join in elevated command prompt.

Please make sure to verify the hybrid status of the device using the command “dsregcmd /status”.

Hi Saurabh, as i read it seems that the "Dsregcmd /leave" and "Dsregcmd /join" is used if the devices are hybrid Azure AD joined devices. The laptops are devices in AAD they don't have a footprint or part of AD (Tenant A) Nor does (Tenant B) have a footprint to AD. How do i go about migrating devices (laptops) from one tentant to another that aren't in a hybrid infrastructure?

@Rob B You can use Dsregcmd with Azure AD joined devices as well.

Refer: Troubleshooting devices using the dsregcmd command

Hi,

I have confusion here. We have a similar situation where we need to have AAD machines moved over from one tenant to another. The solution which SaurabhSharma-msft highlighted is for machines under Hybrid Azure AD joined. What if we need to have AAD machines moved over to another AAD. I believe we need to create a local account on the machines, Login through that account, Unjoin from Tenant A and join to Tenant B through that local Admin account. Please correct me if i am wrong here.

I don't think MS has an automated solution in order to move machines seamless from one Tenant to another.

Regards,
Fazal
