Azure AD Profiles - How to set up and sign into your new Azure AD account
Azure will allow Centerspace site users to have their own personal profiles on the various site computers.
- Takes 5 minutes to set up
- Computers can have multiple profiles
- Will make Password resets even easier
**If you have not already moved your files from your current Lease, ACM, CM, or Maintenance profile, please see those instructions and do that first. You will need to log into your OneDrive account online to transfer these files.
This article will walk you through the process of how to set this up, and how to login for the first time.
You should now see a new user profile when you log onto your computer. This is the azurejoin profile, which you will be using today to walk through the process.
- Click on the azurejoin profile and use the password: Password123 to login.
- Once in, go to Start…Settings…
- In Windows Settings, click on Accounts.
- Click on the “Access work or school” option.
- Click on the + next to “Connect”.
- Click on “Join this device to Azure Active Directory”.
**This step is crucial for this to work. You MUST first click on the link shown by the arrow below before logging in.
**AND you do NOT use your own credentials here.
- Here is where you will enter the [email protected] email address and use the password: Password123 once again.
- This part of the process is to connect the PC or laptop to this new organizational account.
- In the screenshot above it says to Switch accounts, but rather, we will have you Sign out, as seen in the screenshot below.
- The next step will be to log with your SSO email address and password, which will create your personal profile on this computer.
- The process will go through a series of preparation screens, letting you know it is setting you up as a user on that computer.
- Once logged in, Teams should pop up on its own, so this should be the first thing you will want to do it login to Teams. Since this is your profile now, when you enter your email address and start the login process, it should automatically log you on. If Teams does not pop up or you are unable to locate it, it may need to be re-installed. Please submit a support ticket for this.
- Your profile on the computer is linked to Active Directory (AD), which automatically makes your login credentials available to other Microsoft products. This you will see when you start to login to Outlook, OneDrive, etc. for the first time.
- It may require you to put in your email address, as a reference point, but should not require your password again (for Microsoft products) until you reset it.
- You will still be required to login to other systems that use Single Sign-on (SSO) every time.
