Hotdesking - All organisation users on all devices - Azure AD

Hi there,

I'm quite new to working with Microsoft so please bear with me. I work for a company that has a microsoft business plan. Every user has the company extension at the end of their emails - 'example@westernlettings.co.uk'. My manager wants us all to be able to log in on all devices to enable hotdesking within the office.

Initially I tried just adding the users in windows settings but it said the account didn't exist. I assumed this was because the device wasn't 'connected' to our organisation, which I think is done via Azure AD? Once I connected the device to the AD I seemed tp be able to log in for some users, but not others? Potentially only admins...I'm quite unsure.

Under 'Other Users' I did manage to add another work user and his account comes up in settings. However when I sign out and try to sign in as him it just says his username/password aren't correct (I know I'm typing his email and password correctly).

Can anyone shed any light on what I'm supposed to do here?

In order to allow all Azure AD users in your Azure AD tenant to log into azure joined machines via RDP, you need to select "Allow remote connections to this computer" in the Remote Desktop settings:

Then you can log in by using the AzureAD\UPN format (AzureAD\username@your_tenant.onmicrosoft.com or AzureAD\username@yourdomain.com)

For console sessions, all you need to do is to enter the username in AzureAD\UPN format at the login screen after joining to Azure AD.
