Windows 10: Trying to set auto-login with domain account, but it's asking for email address and phone...

We are using GPO, no wifi, no EAS sync. Working on some Windows 10, same OU and account.Login screen just prompt and wont continue. What we are thinking windows is trying to login to online account instead of the account we set via GPO.

Getting email address displayed on Windows 10 login screen even for domain accounts

On someone's Windows 8 computer, several years ago, I saw his email address displayed on login screen. I happened to find the computer in the lecture hall I was just leaving and this struck me as a great way to contact the owner. I wanted that on my computer, too. My email address is public in many places and tied to my name, anyway, and I am able to filter my mail so that some more unsolicited messages are no problem.

Yesterday, I installed Windows 10 Anniversary Update and I was looking forward to being able to display my email address on login screen. I enabled the display of personal info on the login screen (Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Privacy) and logged off in order to see the result.

No change. :-( Still just my name and DOMAIN\username underneath. My account is a domain account with associated Microsoft account and e-mail account (Settings > Accounts > Your email and accounts). I tried the same with my local account with administrative privileges; adding email account did not change anything (still displayed nothing under the account name), but when I chose "Sign in with a Microsoft account instead", the account name changed to my real name and the email address displayed on login screen.

How can I display my email address on Windows 10 login screen even for my domain account?

 

BUG: Domain missing from email address

Hi,

I think I've found a bug from the OS which corrupts the from header of a sent Exchange email.

Software versions:
OS 8.0.10211.204
Firmware 1232.5957.1308.0004

To replicate this you'll need an exchange account configured to not use email address as a user name but (shorter) AD login name.

Sorry if these English terms are somewhat of, I'm using Finnish language version.

Step 1:
Select Add Account
Select Outlook
Type in email address and password
Login

The account will be created, but "needs attention". Observe full email address visible under account name.

Go to account settings, the username field will contain your email address. Replace it with your AD login name.
Type in applicable domain.

Save.

The phone will now synchronize the account.
But now, observe that under the account the email address ends at the @-sign. Domain is missing completely.

I first thought this is a display bug, but when I sent an email, the from-header is also missing the domain (verified by the recipient).
Unfortunately there is no way to change the email address after initial input.

This behavior is repeatable.

I managed to have the account working by using manual setup procedure.

Change the Microsoft account registered with my Windows 10 domain login

I've been struggling to find a valid answer to this question, so I hope someone can help.

I log in to my Windows 10 computers with a domain login (i.e. *** Email address is removed for privacy ***) - all my Windows 10 computers are Domain-Joined to an Azure AD domain. I use *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to log in to my Windows 10 PCs, and this is also my Office 365 subscription and OneDrive etc.

Part of my Windows 10 profile includes a Microsoft account that is different - it is *** Email address is removed for privacy *** - this is an email address I set up with a silly name when I was younger. This is the Microsoft account that is used to sync my settings across all my Windows
10 devices.

• Now I want to change this to be a new Microsoft account - *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

One of the reasons I want to do this is that the old account (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) keeps on getting associated to work tasks I am doing, not very professional looking.

• How do I do this?

I do not need to change the login of my Windows profile (that is, I still want my login profile to remain as *** Email address is removed for privacy ***) - most help seems to direct to setting up a new profile with a new Microsoft account - that is not my problem.

I also don't need to change settings, names, pictures for my Microsoft account(s) - there are no problems with doing that. I am not trying to add another Microsoft account to my Windows applications like email, I am not trying to change my password for the
Microsoft account or change the way I log in to Windows, I am really just trying to rid my Windows 10 account of *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

I just need to change my Settings | Accounts | Your Info - to be a different Microsoft account

How do I do this?
