Hello TolisBunso,

Welcome to our Forum.

Could you please tell me whether a server manages your computer?

I'm asking you this because this option is only active when a server manages the computer/account.

Regards.

Hi, TolisBunso

as I understand it we only poll looking for a local DC. I do not think it supports Azure AD at this juncture. I will reach out to the devs and get confirmation.

Kind regards,

I've tested different computers and if its connected to Domain no issue, but if the computer connected to AZURE AD not working.
I think you can close this POST as per isolation it will not work only directly connected to a domain.

Thanks for helping Paul

Hello Paul,
we have the task that all our computers are not in a domain, but are connected to Azure.
Now the “Get the information from Active Directory” is grayed out.
But we urgently need this information, otherwise a large part of our stamps will not work.

Has there been any feedback from the development team in the meantime?

Thank you very much
Dirk

Hi to all,

is someone able to help me with that issue?
We do have all Computer connected to Azure and so the check box is grayed out.

We need the information to get the stamps run.

Best regards
Dirk

Hi, dirk.ott

I really have to apologise here. I dropped the ball on this one, and I have also been away. I literally just enrolled in a webinar entitled: "Streamlining Your Migration from Group Policy and SCCM to Intune and Entra ID" to get up to speed on the latest on the subject. It is in 2 weeks time.

Given how long I have made you wait already, is that too far away? I can try some examples here in the meanwhile, but I would prefer to get up to speed again first.

Maybe I am being to concerned about things being "the latest"? What is your preference here?
Best regards

Good morning Paul,
We have discussed your proposal internally.
As we have over 1500 licences in use and will be starting the migration to Azure next week, we want to leave no stone unturned and need all the information you can offer us.

Could you please send us some examples so that we can test our stamps.
We primarily use the identity values and cannot do without them.

Best regards Dirk

Hi, dirk.ott

Yes. I am sorry, we are short staffed until next week and I have been unsuccessful prioritizing the time.

I will do my best to get this written up this week, but reality is that right now I cannot honestly promise delivery. :(

Next week we are back to a full compliment and things will go back to normal.

I am really sorry to make you wait like this.
Best regards

Hello Paul,
it's a pity that after 10 days I still haven't received any feedback or a solution from you!
In the meantime, we have dealt intensively with the issue ourselves and also solved everything.
Now we have the identity despite azure connect.
We can therefore use the stamps again.

If you are interested in the solution, you are welcome to get in touch and also contribute to the costs incurred.

Have a nice weekend
Dirk

Hi, dirk.ott

indeed I acknowledge my failure here. I was not able to do the work required in a more timely manner. I personally apologize for that.

Indeed I am interested in what you found out that resolved your issue, others may benefit from your experience.
Best regards

Hi,

Did anyone ever solve this issue?

We have recently moved from domain to Azure AD, and the identity section is now empty as it can't pull from Active Directory.

I was hoping to write a powershell script or something to pull user info from Azure/Entra and update the relevant registry key or something, but I can't find identity settings anywhere in the Registry.

Any help would be awesome :) Thank you

Hi, sph_adrian

this has not enjoyed a high priority I am afraid. The New Year should see a change here.
