Windows 10: Connecting a Microsoft account to a domain account Windows 10

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering how I could connect my Microsoft account to my domain account at work?

Would I then be able to access the network drives from home by logging into my Microsoft account if they were both connected?

Would anyone be able to help with this?

Thanks

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

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.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
