Windows 10: Setup on new laptop for new employee of small business

Just received a new laptop and went through the location and wifi setup. Setup asks for home or work use, select work and then asks for email. Enter work email for new employee and get an error Invalid_client. Did some searching and results say to disable Authentication with Entra or Azure which we don't use. How can I continue using the work email?

Microsoft for small business

I want to suggest that creates a Microsoft small business user ID so that we can log into windows, office, and other products and licenses as a small business. I want to have small business accounts for our small businesses. Where would I make that suggestion, or at what forum would I ask that question? It's no wonder Google products are so popular for small businesses.

 

Microsoft 365 Business - enrolling Windows 10 devices

Hi everyone,

I'm the IT guy for a small business (<20 employees). We have subscription for Microsoft 365 Business and our users are on Windows 10 laptops. When preparing laptop for a new employee, I refer to this article: https://support.office.com/en-us/ar...caa-89a9-48cabf41f193?ui=en-US&rs=en-SG&ad=SG

My questions:

• When I enroll a Windows 10 laptop to Azure AD for a new employee, should I connect it using my own account or the new employee's account? Note: using the new employee's account means that I would have to create it, use it to enroll the laptop, change the
  password, then hand the account over to the new employee.
• I've been recommended to configure Azure AD users (i.e. employees) as non-Administrators on their laptops. Is it recommended to create a "local" administrator account on laptops for my troubleshooting purpose? Note: as the IT guy, I have Global Administrator
  role in Microsoft 365.
• When creating new application management policy for Windows 10, there is option for device type Personal or Company Owned. When enrolling a Windows 10 device, how does Microsoft 365 know that the device is personal or company-owned?

Thanks.

 

Small Business Issuing Computer to Employee. How to protect?

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

You need to create a separate account for yourself on that device with full administrator privileges, then you will always have access to that device even if your employee changes and you give the device to another employee, you will always be able to manage your employees account even if they change their password.

If you have software licenced from Microsoft you will be able to install that on the new device, is that licenced with a personal account or a business account?
