This whole thing drives me nuts. I started doing it this way with my own account then switching. But licensing is a pain because then you need to pay to have an admin account manage this. No unlicensed admin can join a device to AAD. And when you license it you have to manually change it with PowerShell. Such a pain in the ass.
Now I just either autopilot or ship to site and tell the user to log in with their email lol. It's slow going but saves a bunch of hassle.
We have policy to have an admin account and a normal business premium (with enterprise windows add-on)
So I enroll them to my main ๐ since we have a hybrid setup, I have like 50 dead objects under my account in intunne (hybrid generets a dead object beside the real one during autopilot)
I just switch the primary user in intune
Ya I've been considering this for some time. Just annoying. Microsoft just wants to nickel and dime us all to death lol
