About this tag
The aad tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Azure Active Directory (AAD) and its integration with Windows PCs. A recurring theme is the challenge of transferring user profiles when joining a computer to Azure AD. Users report that even with identical usernames, the migration from a local or on-premises AD profile to an AAD account results in a completely new, blank profile, causing loss of customizations and settings.

The tag focuses on real-world troubleshooting of AAD profile migration issues.
