Windows 10: Can't Connect Microsoft Account On A Domain Computer

Hi everyone. I am setting up new workstations in my office that are connected to a domain server. I've got everything up and running on my workstation fine, and have added my personal Microsoft account and my work 365 account to the computer. However, when I go to "Sync Your Settings", I don't have the option to turn on Sync and there's a message in red that says "Some Windows features are only available if you are using a Microsoft Account or work account". As mentioned, my Microsoft account is added under Email & app accounts, I am signed in to Cortana, I'm signed in to the feedback hub, signed in to email, etc. I had this set up on my previous workstation without any issues. If someone could lend a hand I'd appreciate it, thanks!

Cannot connect Microsoft account to domain account

When I go to settings, accounts, your account and I click "add a Microsoft account" a new windows opens.

Problem is I see "Just a moment" and about 2 seconds later the window closes and I wasn't able to provide my Microsoft login credentials.

There are no accounts listed under "Other accounts you use".

So I cannot connect my accounts because the window closes - I can't see any error messages.

Is there a workaround, powershell command or registry solution?

Thanks

Background

I just installed a clean version of windows 10 edu connected to my domain. And I'm logged in with a domain account. There are no policies set to change any behavior of connecting the accounts. In win 8 and 8.1 it worked seamlessly.

 

active domain

Hello,

There are ways to view your computer's domain name in Windows 10. You can follow the steps below to view your computer's domain name (If your computer is connected to a domain):

• Right-click on the Start button and select System.
• Click on the Advance system settings link on the left pane.
• On the Advance system settings window, you can see the
  Domain column with the domain name if you computer is
  connected to a domain or Workgroup if you computer is
  connected to a workgroup.

To join an active domain, you need to take note of the following:

• A User Account on the Domain.
• Name of Domain.
• Computer running Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise/Education editions.
• Domain Controller must be running Windows Server 2003 (functional level or later).

• On the Windows 10 PC go to Settings > System > About then click
  Join a domain.
• Enter the Domain name and click Next.
  
• Enter account information which is used to authenticate on the Domain then click
  OK.
• Wait while your computer is authenticated on the Domain.
• Click Next.
• And then you’ll need to restart your computer to complete the process.
• When the sign in screen appears, you will notice the
  DOMAIN\User account is displayed. Enter your password and you will now be logged onto your Domain.

You will notice that once you are connected to the Domain, the About settings no longer list options that were presented before. This is because your computer is centrally managed by the server.

Should you have further questions, please let us know.

 

Windows 'domain'?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your concern in the Microsoft Community. Follow these steps to find the domain name:

• Press the Windows key + R then choose System.
• The name of your computer will be listed as the Full computer name.
• The domain your computer belongs to will be listed as the Domain. If, instead of Domain, you see Workgroup, your computer
  is not a member of any domain.

If you have any questions or things you'd like to clarify, feel free to ask.
