When moving to cloud native endpoints, you need to understand the differences between Azure AD joined and hybrid Azure AD joined devices.

Many critical and valuable services, including [Conditional Access](/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/overview) and [Azure AD single sign-on](/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/what-is-single-sign-on), require endpoints to have a cloud identity. For organization owned Windows endpoints, a cloud identity is created when the device is Azure AD joined or Hybrid Azure AD joined

Keep in mind that HAADJ and AADJ are not mutually exclusive, both can coexist in the same environment. However, HAADJ should not be your organization's end goal for its Windows endpoints and having both may increase the environment's complexity which may translate into additional support costs.

| You have new endpoints or can reset existing endpoints | ✔️ Azure AD join <br/><br/> If you have new, refurbished, or refreshed Windows devices, then Azure AD joined is recommended. AADJ should be your default option. <br/><br/> There are some known blockers and challenges outside of Microsoft's control that may prevent your organization from fully adopting AADJ. There may also be unknown blockers that are specific to your organization and its configuration or expectations. Note that these blockers may be technical or they mat arise due to other, non-technical factors.<br/><br/>❌ Hybrid Azure AD join<br/><br/> You can use HAADJ for new endpoints, but it's typically not recommended. Windows 10/11 have modern features built-in to the OS, including modern management, modern authentication, and more. When joined using HAADJ, you might not get these features, and must use Group Policy Objects (GPO) to manage these endpoints, which can be complex, cumbersome, and possibly costly. <br/><br/>If you identify a potential blocker, then determine the scope, impact, and solution. The [High level planning guide to move to cloud native endpoints](cloud-native-endpoints-planning-guide.md) may help. |
129
+
| Endpoints can't be reset or reprovisioned | ❌ Azure AD join <br/><br/> Existing devices joined to an on-premises AD domain must be reset to become Azure AD joined. If they can't be reset, then AADJ isn't possible. <br/> <br/>✔️ Hybrid Azure AD join<br/> <br/>If you have existing endpoints that are joined to an on-premises AD domain, and can't be reset, then Hybrid Azure AD joined might be the easiest option for your organization. Devices get a cloud identity and can use cloud services that require a cloud identity. This option typically has minimal impact to end users. |

But, you can use HAADJ until those endpoints can be replaced or reset. Remember, Hybrid Azure AD joined shouldn't be your organization's end goal. |

For newly provisioned Windows endpoints, you should strongly consider only using AADJ whenever possible. Choosing HAADJ for newly provisioned devices leads to additional envrionmental complexity and costs because of this complexity. There are some known blockers and challeneges outside of Microsoft's control that may prevent your organization from fully adopting AADJ for newly provisioned Windows endpoints. There may also be unknown blockers that are specific to your organization and its configuration or expectations. Note that these blockers may be technical in nature or they mat arise due to other, non-technical factors.

-
In general, AADJ should be the default choice for organizations for newly provisioned Windows endpoints and HAADJ should only be considered when an identified and impactful blocker is discovered. Because HAADJ should not be the goal for any Windows endpoints in an envrionment, simple identification of the blocker should be the beginning of an investigation and not the end. Once identified, your organization can determine the scope of the impact and paths to overcoming these blockers which may vary between organizations and will be based on the nature of the blocker.
