Windows 10: No audio / red x for an Azure AD joined user

Hi,


Got no working audio in Windows 10. Red X/no input/output devices found All the Audio device drivers are operational in Device Manager.


Switching the Windows Audio service and related "endpoint" service" to Local System Log On gives an appearance of a fix input devices found and produce volume sliders but nothing happens in reality. Switching back to Local Service login returns the Red X/no device state.


This is how I know it is not a driver issue


1 all input and output audio devices are affected at once

2 adding a known good external USB audio device produces the same effect - device shows as working in Device Manager, but not really.


Now, the user in question is the only user in my Azure AD joined domain. The only notable thing that changed between reboots is me removing my experimental "Azure AD DS managed domain, because I couldn't afford it. An Azure hosted domain controller. So, my Azure AD subscription went back to plain Jane free subscription variety. The joined Azure domain has always been basic myemail.onmicrosoft.com though. So, I think my user got downgraded from a nascent domain administrator in such a way that he lost access to local audio somehow? Never actually got the domain administrator to work, so I don't really know. It seems to be a feature targeted at Windows server and I've got a regular 10 Pro.


Thanks, Andrei

Disconnecting on prem AD and then joining Azure AD creates new Windows profile?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about joining computers in my firm from on prem AD to Azure AD. When someone new arrives at our firm (new employee), there is a fresh installation of Windows 10. It is easy to join Azure AD
because it is a fresh start, but now we have to migrate all Windows 10 users that are on prem AD to Azure AD. When I disconnect those users from our local on prem AD and join them to Azure AD, whole new Windows 10 profile is created, without any of settings,
data or anything else on that profile (clean profile with few applications that are installed computer-wide). So my question is, is there any solution to keep their profile settings from before they joined Azure AD? Or I will have to simply tell them to backup
everything (essential data).

What I tried so far:

• Tried tools for migration like ForensiT (User Profile Wizard, User Profile Manager and Transwiz, just to see if it is going to work) - not successful
• Tried changing profile path from registry - not successful
• Tried log in with the old credentials example: CONTOSO\user (because after I joined that computer to Azure AD user should log in as *** Email address is removed for privacy ***) - not successful

Is there anything else I can try? Thanks for your answers.

 

Image W10 workstations for Azure AD join?

Hi All,

I want to image Windows 10; but more importantly I need to join Azure AD 'Out of the Box'!

I don't have a 'master' Azure AD account. I am not even sure that such a thing exits, e.g.: the Administrator account on a standard Active Directory Domain.

Where should I be looking for configuration, where it comes to Azure AD automatic joining?

My thoughts are PowerShell DST! But that is just a rumour.

Any suggestions would be amazing.

Regards,

Davo
