# Configure federation between Google Workspace and Azure AD
# Configure federation between Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID
This article describes the steps required to configure Google Workspace as an identity provider (IdP) for Azure AD.\
Once configured, users will be able to sign in to Azure AD with their Google Workspace credentials.
Once configured, users will be able to sign in to Microsoft Entra ID with their Google Workspace credentials.
## Prerequisites
To configure Google Workspace as an IdP for Azure AD, the following prerequisites must be met:
To configure Google Workspace as an IdP for Microsoft Entra ID, the following prerequisites must be met:
1. An Azure AD tenant, with one or multiple custom DNS domains (that is, domains that aren't in the format \**.onmicrosoft.com*)
- If the federated domain hasn't yet been added to Azure AD, you must have access to the DNS domain to create a DNS record. This is required to verify the ownership of the DNS namespace
- Learn how to [Add your custom domain name using the Azure Active Directory portal](/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/add-custom-domain)
1. Access to Azure AD with an account with the *Global Administrator* role
1. A Microsoft Entra tenant, with one or multiple custom DNS domains (that is, domains that aren't in the format \**.onmicrosoft.com*)
- If the federated domain hasn't yet been added to Microsoft Entra ID, you must have access to the DNS domain to create a DNS record. This is required to verify the ownership of the DNS namespace
- Learn how to [Add your custom domain name using the Microsoft Entra admin center](/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/add-custom-domain)
1. Access to Microsoft Entra ID with an account with the *Global Administrator* role
1. Access to Google Workspace with an account with *super admin* privileges
To test federation, the following prerequisites must be met:
1. A Google Workspace environment, with users already created
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Users require an email address defined in Google Workspace, which is used to match the users in Azure AD.
> For more information about identity matching, see [Identity matching in Azure AD](federated-sign-in.md#identity-matching-in-azure-ad).
1. Individual Azure AD accounts already created: each Google Workspace user will require a matching account defined in Azure AD. These accounts are commonly created through automated solutions, for example:
> Users require an email address defined in Google Workspace, which is used to match the users in Microsoft Entra ID.
> For more information about identity matching, see [Identity matching in Microsoft Entra ID](federated-sign-in.md#identity-matching-in-azure-ad).
1. Individual Microsoft Entra accounts already created: each Google Workspace user will require a matching account defined in Microsoft Entra ID. These accounts are commonly created through automated solutions, for example:
- School Data Sync (SDS)
- Azure AD Connect sync for environment with on-premises AD DS
- Microsoft Entra Connect Sync for environment with on-premises AD DS
- PowerShell scripts that call the Microsoft Graph API
- Provisioning tools offered by the IdP - this capability is offered by Google Workspace through [auto-provisioning](https://support.google.com/a/answer/7365072)

## Select an Office 365 user account–creation method
Now that you've an Office 365 subscription, you must determine how you’ll create your Office 365 user accounts. Use one of the following methods to make your decision:
* Method 1: Automatically synchronize your on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD. Select this method if you've an on-premises AD DS domain.
* Method 2: Bulk-import the user accounts from a .csv file (based on information from other sources) into Azure AD. Select this method if you don’t have an on-premises AD DS domain.
* Method 1: Automatically synchronize your on-premises AD DS domain with Microsoft Entra ID. Select this method if you've an on-premises AD DS domain.
* Method 2: Bulk-import the user accounts from a .csv file (based on information from other sources) into Microsoft Entra ID. Select this method if you don’t have an on-premises AD DS domain.

You provision and initially configure Office 365 Education as part of the initial configuration. With the subscription in place, automatic tenant join configured, automatic licensing established, and Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 enabled (if necessary), you’re ready to select the method you'll use to create user accounts in Office 365.
## Select an Office 365 user account–creation method
Now that you've an Office 365 subscription, you need to determine how you'll create your Office 365 user accounts. Use the following methods to create Office 365 user accounts:
- **Method 1:** Automatically synchronize your on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD. Select this method if you've an on-premises AD DS domain.
- **Method 2:** Bulk-import the user accounts from a .csv file (based on information from other sources) into Azure AD. Select this method if you don’t have an on-premises AD DS domain.
- **Method 1:** Automatically synchronize your on-premises AD DS domain with Microsoft Entra ID. Select this method if you've an on-premises AD DS domain.
- **Method 2:** Bulk-import the user accounts from a .csv file (based on information from other sources) into Microsoft Entra ID. Select this method if you don’t have an on-premises AD DS domain.
### Method 1: Automatic synchronization between AD DS and Azure AD
<a name='method-1-automatic-synchronization-between-ad-ds-and-azure-ad'></a>
In this method, you've an on-premises AD DS domain. As shown in Figure 4, the Azure AD Connector tool automatically synchronizes AD DS with Azure AD. When you add or change any user accounts in AD DS, the Azure AD Connector tool automatically updates Azure AD.
### Method 1: Automatic synchronization between AD DS and Microsoft Entra ID
In this method, you've an on-premises AD DS domain. As shown in Figure 4, the Microsoft Entra Connector tool automatically synchronizes AD DS with Microsoft Entra ID. When you add or change any user accounts in AD DS, the Microsoft Entra Connector tool automatically updates Microsoft Entra ID.

### Method 2: Bulk import into Azure AD from a .csv file
<a name='method-2-bulk-import-into-azure-ad-from-a-csv-file'></a>
In this method, you've no on-premises AD DS domain. As shown in Figure 5, you manually prepare a `.csv` file with the student information from your source, and then manually import the information directly into Azure AD. The `.csv` file must be in the format that Office 365 specifies.
### Method 2: Bulk import into Microsoft Entra ID from a .csv file
In this method, you've no on-premises AD DS domain. As shown in Figure 5, you manually prepare a `.csv` file with the student information from your source, and then manually import the information directly into Microsoft Entra ID. The `.csv` file must be in the format that Office 365 specifies.

*Figure 5. Bulk import into Azure AD from other sources*
*Figure 5. Bulk import into Microsoft Entra ID from other sources*
To implement this method, perform the following steps:
1. Export the student information from the source. Ultimately, you want to format the student information in the format the bulk-import feature requires.
2. Bulk-import the student information into Azure AD. For more information about how to perform this step, see the [Bulk-import user accounts into Office 365](#bulk-import-user-accounts-into-office-365) section.
2. Bulk-import the student information into Microsoft Entra ID. For more information about how to perform this step, see the [Bulk-import user accounts into Office 365](#bulk-import-user-accounts-into-office-365) section.
### Summary
In this section, you selected the method for creating user accounts in your Office 365 subscription. Ultimately, these user accounts are in Azure AD (which is the identity management system for Office 365). Now, you’re ready to create your Office 365 accounts.

## Integrate on-premises AD DS with Microsoft Entra ID
You can integrate your on-premises AD DS domain with Microsoft Entra ID to provide identity management for your Office 365 tenant. With this integration, you can synchronize the users, security groups, and distribution lists in your AD DS domain with Microsoft Entra ID with the Microsoft Entra Connect tool. Users will be able to sign in to Office 365 automatically by using their email account and the same password they use to sign in to AD DS.

Before you deploy AD DS and Azure AD synchronization, you need to determine where you want to deploy the server that runs Azure AD Connect.
Before you deploy AD DS and Microsoft Entra synchronization, you need to determine where you want to deploy the server that runs Microsoft Entra Connect.
You can deploy the Azure AD Connect tool by using one of the following methods:
You can deploy the Microsoft Entra Connect tool by using one of the following methods:
- **On premises**: As shown in Figure 6, Azure AD Connect runs on premises, which have the advantage of not requiring a virtual private network (VPN) connection to Azure. It does, however, require a virtual machine (VM) or physical server.
- **On premises**: As shown in Figure 6, Microsoft Entra Connect runs on premises, which have the advantage of not requiring a virtual private network (VPN) connection to Azure. It does, however, require a virtual machine (VM) or physical server.

### Identity matching in Azure AD
<a name='identity-matching-in-azure-ad'></a>
When an Azure AD user is federated, the user's identity from the IdP must match an existing user object in Azure AD.
After the token sent by the IdP is validated, Azure AD searches for a matching user object in the tenant by using an attribute called *ImmutableId*.
### Identity matching in Microsoft Entra ID
When a Microsoft Entra user is federated, the user's identity from the IdP must match an existing user object in Microsoft Entra ID.
After the token sent by the IdP is validated, Microsoft Entra ID searches for a matching user object in the tenant by using an attribute called *ImmutableId*.
> [!NOTE]
> The ImmutableId is a string value that **must be unique** for each user in the tenant, and it shouldn't change over time. For example, the ImmutableId could be the student ID or SIS ID. The ImmutableId value should be based on the federation setup and configuration with your IdP, so confirm with your IdP before setting it.
If the matching object is found, the user is signed-in. Otherwise, the user is presented with an error message. The following picture shows that a user with the ImmutableId *260051* can't be found:
:::image type="content" source="images/federation/user-match-lookup-failure.png" alt-text="Screenshot of Azure AD sign-in error: a user with a matching ImmutableId can't be found in the tenant." lightbox="images/federation/user-match-lookup-failure.png":::

> The ImmutableId matching is case-sensitive.
The ImmutableId is typically configured when the user is created in Azure AD, but it can also be updated later.\
The ImmutableId is typically configured when the user is created in Microsoft Entra ID, but it can also be updated later.\
In a scenario where a user is federated and you want to change the ImmutableId, you must:

To reduce your inventory, clear out all unnecessary and inactive tokens.
1. Go to **Azure Active Directory** > **Users** > **All users**
1. Go to **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Users** > **All users**
2. In the **User Name** column, select and delete all accounts with a **package\ _**
prefix. These accounts are created at a 1:1 ratio for every token and are safe
to delete.
3. Select and delete inactive and expired user accounts.
### How do I know if my package expired?
Automated Azure AD tokens expire after 180 days. The expiration date for each token is appended to the end of the saved provisioning package, on the USB drive. After this date, you must create a new package. Be careful that you don't delete active accounts.

# Set up Azure Active Directory
# Set up Microsoft Entra ID
The Microsoft platform for education simplifies the management of Windows devices with Intune for Education and Microsoft 365 Education. The first, fundamental step, is to configure the identity infrastructure to manage user access and permissions for your school.
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), which is included with the Microsoft 365 Education subscription, provides authentication and authorization to any Microsoft cloud services. Identity objects are defined in Azure AD for human identities, like students and teachers, as well as non-human identities, like devices, services, and applications. Once users get Microsoft 365 licenses assigned, they'll be able to consume services and access resources within the tenant. With Microsoft 365 Education, you can manage identities for your teachers and students, assign licenses to devices and users, and create groups for the classrooms.
Microsoft Entra ID, which is included with the Microsoft 365 Education subscription, provides authentication and authorization to any Microsoft cloud services. Identity objects are defined in Microsoft Entra ID for human identities, like students and teachers, as well as non-human identities, like devices, services, and applications. Once users get Microsoft 365 licenses assigned, they'll be able to consume services and access resources within the tenant. With Microsoft 365 Education, you can manage identities for your teachers and students, assign licenses to devices and users, and create groups for the classrooms.

# Azure Active Directory integration with MDM
# Microsoft Entra integration with MDM
Azure Active Directory is the world's largest enterprise cloud identity management service. It's used by organizations to access Microsoft 365 and business applications from Microsoft and third-party software as a service (SaaS) vendors. Many of the rich Windows experiences for organizational users (such as store access or OS state roaming) use Azure AD as the underlying identity infrastructure. Windows integrates with Azure AD, allowing devices to be registered in Azure AD and enrolled into MDM in an integrated flow.
Microsoft Entra ID is the world's largest enterprise cloud identity management service. It's used by organizations to access Microsoft 365 and business applications from Microsoft and third-party software as a service (SaaS) vendors. Many of the rich Windows experiences for organizational users (such as store access or OS state roaming) use Microsoft Entra ID as the underlying identity infrastructure. Windows integrates with Microsoft Entra ID, allowing devices to be registered in Microsoft Entra ID and enrolled into MDM in an integrated flow.
Once a device is enrolled in MDM, the MDM:
- Can enforce compliance with organization policies, add or remove apps, and more.
- Can report a device's compliance in Azure AD.
- Azure AD can allow access to organization resources or applications secured by Azure AD to devices that comply with policies.
- Can report a device's compliance in Microsoft Entra ID.
- Microsoft Entra ID can allow access to organization resources or applications secured by Microsoft Entra ID to devices that comply with policies.
To support these rich experiences with their MDM product, MDM vendors can integrate with Azure AD.

## Integrated MDM enrollment and UX
There are several ways to connect your devices to Azure AD:
There are several ways to connect your devices to Microsoft Entra ID:
- [Join device to Azure AD](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join)
- [Join device to on-premises AD and Azure AD](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join-hybrid)
- [Join device to Microsoft Entra ID](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join)
- [Join device to on-premises AD and Microsoft Entra ID](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join-hybrid)
- [Add a Microsoft work account to Windows](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-register)
In each scenario, Azure AD authenticates the user and the device. It provides a verified unique device identifier that can be used for MDM enrollment. The enrollment flow provides an opportunity for the MDM service to render its own UI, using a web view. MDM vendors should use the UI to render the Terms of Use (TOU), which can be different for company-owned and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) devices. MDM vendors can also use the web view to render more UI elements, such as asking for a one-time PIN.

In Windows 10, the web view during the out-of-the-box scenario is displayed as full-screen by default, providing MDM vendors with the capability to create a seamless edge-to-edge user experience. However, in Windows 11 the web view is rendered within an iframe. It's important that MDM vendors who integrate with Azure AD respect the Windows design guidelines. This step includes using a responsive web design and respecting the Windows accessibility guidelines. For example, include the forward and back buttons that are properly wired to the navigation logic. More details are provided later in this article.

### MDM endpoints involved in Azure AD integrated enrollment
<a name='mdm-endpoints-involved-in-azure-ad-integrated-enrollment'></a>
Azure AD MDM enrollment is a two-step process:
### MDM endpoints involved in Microsoft Entra integrated enrollment
Microsoft Entra MDM enrollment is a two-step process:
1. Display the Terms of Use and gather user consent: This consent is a passive flow where the user is redirected in a browser control (webview) to the URL of the Terms of Use of the MDM.
1. Enroll the device: This step is an active flow where Windows OMA DM agent calls the MDM service to enroll the device.
To support Azure AD enrollment, MDM vendors must host and expose a **Terms of Use endpoint** and an **MDM enrollment endpoint**.
To support Microsoft Entra enrollment, MDM vendors must host and expose a **Terms of Use endpoint** and an **MDM enrollment endpoint**.
- **Terms of Use endpoint**: Use this endpoint to inform users of the ways in which their organization can control their device. The **Terms of Use** page is responsible for collecting user's consent before the actual enrollment phase begins.
It's important to understand the Terms of Use flow is an "opaque box" to Windows and Azure AD. The whole web view is redirected to the Terms of Use URL. The user should be redirected back after approving or rejecting the Terms. This design allows the MDM vendor to customize their Terms of Use for different scenarios. For example, different levels of control are applied on BYOD vs. organization-owned devices. Or, implement user/group based targeting, like users in certain geographies may have stricter device management policies.

For example, different levels of control are applied on BYOD vs. organization-owned devices. Or, implement user/group based targeting, like users in certain geographies may have stricter device management policies.
The Terms of Use endpoint can implement more business logic, such as collecting a one-time PIN provided by IT to control device enrollment. However, MDM vendors must not use the Terms of Use flow to collect user credentials, which can be a degraded user experience. It's not needed, since part of the MDM integration ensures that the MDM service can understand tokens issued by Azure AD.

The following diagram illustrates the high-level flow involved in the actual enrollment process. The device is first registered with Azure AD. This process assigns a unique device identifier to the device and presents the device with the ability to authenticate itself with Azure AD (device authentication). Then, the device is enrolled for management with the MDM. This step calls the enrollment endpoint and requests enrollment for the user and device. At this point, the user has been authenticated and device has been registered and authenticated with Azure AD. This information is available to the MDM in the form of claims within an access token presented at the enrollment endpoint.

### Cloud-based MDM
A cloud-based MDM is a SaaS application that provides device management capabilities in the cloud. It's a multi-tenant application. This application is registered with Azure AD in the home tenant of the MDM vendor. When an IT admin decides to use this MDM solution, an instance of this application is made visible in the tenant of the customer.

### On-premises MDM
An on-premises MDM application is different than a cloud MDM. It's a single-tenant application that is present uniquely within the tenant of the customer. Customers must add the application directly within their own tenant. Also, each instance of an on-premises MDM application must be registered separately and have a separate key for authentication with Azure AD.

## Management protocol with Azure AD
<a name='management-protocol-with-azure-ad'></a>
There are two different MDM enrollment types that integrate with Azure AD, and use Azure AD user and device identities. Depending on the enrollment type, the MDM service may need to manage a single user or multiple users.
## Management protocol with Microsoft Entra ID
- **Multiple user management for Azure AD-joined devices**
There are two different MDM enrollment types that integrate with Microsoft Entra ID, and use Microsoft Entra user and device identities. Depending on the enrollment type, the MDM service may need to manage a single user or multiple users.
In this scenario, the MDM enrollment applies to every Azure AD user who signs in to the Azure AD joined device - call this enrollment type a device enrollment or a multi-user enrollment. The management server can determine the user identity, determine what policies are targeted for this user, and send corresponding policies to the device. To allow management server to identify current user that is logged on to the device, the OMA DM client uses the Azure AD user tokens. Each management session contains an extra HTTP header that contains an Azure AD user token. This information is provided in the DM package sent to the management server. However, in some circumstances Azure AD user token isn't sent over to the management server. One such scenario happens immediately after MDM enrollments completes during Azure AD join process. Until Azure AD join process is finished and Azure AD user signs on to the machine, Azure AD user token isn't available to OMA-DM process. Typically, MDM enrollment completes before Azure AD user sign in to machine and the initial management session doesn't contain an Azure AD user token. The management server should check if the token is missing and only send device policies in such case. Another possible reason for a missing Azure AD token in the OMA-DM payload is when a guest is logged on to the device.

Another possible reason for a missing Microsoft Entra token in the OMA-DM payload is when a guest is logged on to the device.
- **Adding a work account and MDM enrollment to a device**:
In this scenario, the MDM enrollment applies to a single user who initially added their work account and enrolled the device. In this enrollment type, the management server can ignore Azure AD tokens that may be sent over during management session. Whether Azure AD token is present or missing, the management server sends both user and device policies to the device.

### Disconnection when the session is locked
The Windows lock screen in the remote session doesn't support Azure AD authentication tokens or passwordless authentication methods like FIDO keys. The lack of support for these authentication methods means that users can't unlock their screens in a remote session. When you try to lock a remote session, either through user action or system policy, the session is instead disconnected and the service sends a message to the user explaining they've been disconnected.

You can use a Group Policy to trigger autoenrollment to Mobile Device Management (MDM) for Active Directory (AD) domain-joined devices.
The enrollment into Intune is triggered by a group policy created on your local AD and happens without any user interaction. This cause-and-effect mechanism means you can automatically mass-enroll a large number of domain-joined corporate devices into Microsoft Intune. The enrollment process starts in the background once you sign in to the device with your Azure AD account.

For examples, see section 4.3.1 RequestSecurityToken of the MS-MDE2 protocol documentation.
When the autoenrollment Group Policy is enabled, a task is created in the background that initiates the MDM enrollment.

If you're a Mobile Device Management (MDM) Provider and want to support eSIM Management on Windows, perform the following steps:
- Onboard to Azure Active Directory
- Onboard to Microsoft Entra ID
- Contact mobile operators directly or contact orchestrator providers. Windows provides the capability for MDM providers to manager eSIM profiles for enterprise use cases. However, Windows doesn't limit how ecosystem partners offer this service to their own partners and/or customers. As such, the eSIM profile management capability is something that can be supported by integrating with the Windows OMA-DM. This characteristic makes it possible to remotely manage the eSIM profiles according to the company policies.
As an MDM provider, if you're looking to integrate/onboard to a mobile operator on a 1:1 basis, contact them and learn more about their onboarding. If you would like to integrate and work with only one MDM provider, contact that provider directly. If you would like to offer eSIM management to customers using different MDM providers, contact an orchestrator provider. Orchestrator providers act as proxy handling MDM onboarding and as a mobile operator onboarding. Their role is to make the process as painless and scalable as possible for all parties.

## Integration with Microsoft Entra ID
WIP uses Workplace Join (WPJ). WPJ is integrated with adding a work account flow to a personal device. If a user adds their work or school Entra ID account as a secondary account to the machine, their device registered with WPJ. If a user joins their device to Azure AD, it's enrolled to MDM. In general, a device that has a personal account as its primary account is considered a personal device and should be registered with WPJ. An Azure AD join, and enrollment to MDM, should be used to manage corporate devices.

For example, if both MAM and MDM are provided by the same vendor, then an IT Admin needs to add one Management app from this vendor that contains both MAM and MDM policies for the organization. Alternatively, if the MAM and MDM services in an organization are provided by two different vendors, then two Management apps from the two vendors need to be configured for the company in Azure AD: one for MAM and one for MDM.

## MAM enrollment
MAM enrollment is based on the MAM extension of [[MS-MDE2] protocol](/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-mde2/4d7eadd5-3951-4f1c-8159-c39e07cbe692). MAM enrollment supports Azure AD [federated authentication](federated-authentication-device-enrollment.md) as the only authentication method.

These are the protocol changes for MAM enrollment:
- MDM discovery isn't supported.
- APPAUTH node in [DMAcc CSP](mdm/dmacc-csp.md) is optional.
- MAM enrollment variation of [MS-MDE2] protocol doesn't support the client authentication certificate, and therefore doesn't support the [MS-XCEP] protocol. Servers must use an Azure AD token for client authentication during policy syncs. Policy sync sessions must be performed over one-way TLS/SSL using server certificate authentication.

This "managed diversity" enables you to empower your users to benefit from the productivity enhancements available on their new Windows devices (including rich touch and ink support), while still maintaining your standards for security and manageability. It can help you and your organization benefit from Windows faster.

### Active Directory synchronization with Azure AD
<a name='active-directory-synchronization-with-azure-ad'></a>
If you have an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain, you need to synchronize the identities in the on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD. This synchronization is required for users to have a _single identity_ that they can use to access their on-premises apps and cloud services that use Azure AD. An example of a cloud service is Windows Enterprise E3 or E5.
### Active Directory synchronization with Microsoft Entra ID
**Figure 1** illustrates the integration between the on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD. Azure AD Connect is responsible for synchronization of identities between the on-premises AD DS domain and Azure AD. Azure AD Connect is a service that you can install on-premises or in a virtual machine in Azure.

If so, this setting defines the maximum number of seconds each file can be held in the Delivery Optimization cache on each Windows 10 client device. Alternatively, organizations might choose to set this value to "0" which means "unlimited" to avoid peers redownloading content. When "Unlimited" value is set, Delivery Optimization holds the files in the cache longer and cleans up the cache as needed (for example when the cache size exceeded the maximum space allowed). **The default value is 259,200 seconds (three days)**.
### Max Cache Size
MDM Setting: **DOMaxCacheSize**
This setting limits the maximum amount of space the Delivery Optimization cache can use as a percentage of the available drive space, from 1 to 100. For example, if you set this value to 10 on a Windows client device that has 100 GB of available drive space, then Delivery Optimization uses up to 10 GB of that space. Delivery Optimization will constantly assess the available drive space and automatically clear the cache to keep the maximum cache size under the set percentage. **The default value is 20%**.

In Windows 11, the 'Local Peer Discovery' option was introduced to restrict peer discovery to the local network. Currently the available options include: 0 = NAT, 1 = Subnet mask, and 2 = Local Peer Discovery. These options apply to both Download Modes LAN (1) and Group (2) and therefore means there's no peering between subnets.

### Enable peer caching while the device connects via VPN
MDM Setting: **DOAllowVPNPeerCaching**
This setting determines whether a device will be allowed to participate in Peer Caching while connected to VPN. **By default, if a VPN connection is detected, peering isn't allowed, except when the 'Local Discovery' (DNS-SD) option is chosen.** Specify "true" to allow the device to participate in Peer Caching while connected via VPN to the domain network. The device can download from or upload to other domain network devices, either on VPN or on the corporate domain network.
### VPN Keywords
MDM Setting: **DOVpnKeywords**
This policy allows you to set one or more comma-separated keywords used to recognize VPN connections. **By default, this policy is not set so if a VPN is detected, the device will not use peering.** Delivery Optimization automatically detects a VPN connection by looking at the network adapter's 'Description' and 'FriendlyName' strings using the default keyword list including: “VPN”, “Secure”, and “Virtual Private Network” (ex: “MSFTVPN” matches the “VPN” keyword). As the number of VPNs grow it’s difficult to support an ever-changing list of VPN names. To address this, we’ve introduced this new setting to set unique VPN names to meet the needs of individual environments.
### Disallow cache server downloads on VPN
MDM Setting: **DODisallowCacheServerDownloadsOnVPN**
This policy disallows downloads from Connected Cache servers when the device connects via VPN. **By default, the device is allowed to download from Connected Cache when connected via VPN.** Set this policy if you prefer devices to download directly from the Internet when connected remotely (via VPN) instead of pulling from a Microsoft Connected Cache server deployed on your corporate network.

These upgrades (which are installed differently than monthly updates) leverage an in-place upgrade process. Unlike updates, which are relatively small, these upgrades will include a full operating system image (around 3 GB for 64-bit operating systems), which requires time (1-2 hours) and disk space (approximately 10 GB) to complete. Ensure that the deployment method you use can support the required network bandwidth and/or disk space requirements.

Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 in CSP delivers, by subscription, exclusive features reserved for Windows 10 or Windows 11 Enterprise editions. This offering is available through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) channel via the Partner Center as an online service. Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 in CSP provides a flexible, per-user subscription for small and medium-sized organizations (from one to hundreds of users). To take advantage of this offering, you must have the following prerequisites:
- Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 (Windows 10 Anniversary Update) or later (or Windows 11), installed and activated, on the devices to be upgraded.
- Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) available for identity management
- Microsoft Entra available for identity management

- Read device attributes to successfully register devices.
- Manage all configurations related to the operation of the service.
- Make sure that all device-based Azure AD groups you intend to use with Autopatch groups are created prior to using the feature.
- Review your existing Azure AD group dynamic queries and direct device memberships to avoid having device membership overlaps in between device-based Azure AD groups that are going to be used with Autopatch groups.

### Clean up dual state of Hybrid Azure AD joined and Azure registered devices in your Azure AD tenant
<a name='clean-up-dual-state-of-hybrid-azure-ad-joined-and-azure-registered-devices-in-your-azure-ad-tenant'></a>
An [Azure AD dual state](/azure/active-directory/devices/hybrid-azuread-join-plan#handling-devices-with-azure-ad-registered-state) occurs when a device is initially connected to Azure AD as an [Azure AD Registered](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-register) device. However, when you enable Hybrid Azure AD join, the same device is connected twice to Azure AD but as a [Hybrid Azure AD device](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join-hybrid).
### Clean up dual state of Microsoft Entra hybrid joined and Azure registered devices in your Microsoft Entra tenant
In the dual state, you end up having two Azure AD device records with different join types for the same device. In this case, the Hybrid Azure AD device record takes precedence over the Azure AD registered device record for any type of authentication in Azure AD, which makes the Azure AD registered device record stale.
An [Microsoft Entra dual state](/azure/active-directory/devices/hybrid-azuread-join-plan#handling-devices-with-azure-ad-registered-state) occurs when a device is initially connected to Microsoft Entra ID as an [Microsoft Entra registered](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-register) device. However, when you enable Microsoft Entra hybrid join, the same device is connected twice to Microsoft Entra ID but as a [Hybrid Microsoft Entra device](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join-hybrid).
It's recommended to detect and clean up stale devices in Azure AD before registering devices with Windows Autopatch, see [How To: Manage state devices in Azure AD](/azure/active-directory/devices/manage-stale-devices).
In the dual state, you end up having two Microsoft Entra device records with different join types for the same device.

If a device was previously registered into the Windows Autopatch service, but it needs to be reimaged, you must run one of the device provisioning processes available in Microsoft Intune to reimage the device.
The device will be rejoined to Azure AD (either Hybrid or Azure AD-only). Then, re-enrolled into Intune as well. No further action is required from you or the Windows Autopatch service, because the Azure AD device ID record of that device remains the same.
