    Windows Hello Unavailable for Domain Managed Account but working for local account


    My new company-owned laptop does not have the option to sign in using Windows Hello -- Fingerprint, Pin and Facial Recognition are all unavailable. Error Messages say: "This option is currently unavailable" "Something went wrong. Try again later". Note: I don't want/need facial recognition because I keep the privacy slider on my camera closedAt first glance, it would seem to be a driver or hardware issue, however after reinstalling all the drivers the fingerprint and pin options became available for the local account and the reason for facial recognition being unavailable was displayed, but

    Domain and Local account login

    Hello,

    I have an Azure joined laptop with my domain account. Also I have a local account on the laptop as well.

    When I start the device, it logs into the local account first (no password on the local account so signs straight in). To get onto my domain account, I have to sign out of the local account, then go to Other User and sign into my domain account. Is there a way to have my domain account as 'default' and not log straight into my local account on startup?

    Many thanks!
    Jon

  3. Domain to Local Account Issues


    Hello, one and all!

    When I initially upgraded to 10 from 8.1 I created a local account and logged into my Microsoft Account. I just recently used the Windows Server Essentials 2012 Connector to get on the domain at work. After all of that completed successfully I went to log in to my Microsoft Account through Cortana and was told that my Microsoft Account was already being used on this machine. I tried to log back on to the local account so that I could log out of the Microsoft Account but it wouldn't let me log on to the local account. Holy Cow that sentence was a mouthful!

    I need to figure out how to get my domain account associated with my Microsoft Account.

    Thank you in advance for the help!

    Windows Hello With Domain Account

    Hello,

    I would like to sign into my PC with Windows Hello using my laptop's fingerprint sensor. However, I sign into Windows using a domain account, not a local or Microsoft account. Apparently, Windows Hello is not enabled by default for domain accounts. I am
    curious as to how I can enable it. Should I check the Group Policy on my Domain Controller? If so, where would I find it in Group Policy? I have already tried enabling "Enable PIN sign-on" in Group Policy, but that did not work. My laptop is running Windows
    10 1909 and my DC is running Windows Server 2012 R2.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
