About this tag
Entra joined devices are Windows machines registered with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for cloud-based identity and management. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover the general availability of Windows Backup for Organizations, which enables cloud-first restore of settings, Start menu layouts, and Store app inventories specifically for Entra joined devices. This feature, delivered via cumulative updates, aims to simplify device refresh cycles and Windows 11 migrations by preserving user configurations in the tenant's Exchange Online tenancy. IT teams can leverage this to reduce friction during OOBE, resets, or reimaging, ensuring users quickly recover a familiar desktop experience.
