Create and Fill AAD Group based on an local attributes

There is often the need to create an AAD group based on a local registry key or another attribute to make more specific accesses, to use this group for access rights to an application or many other usecases. How you can do this with the help of endpoint analytics and azure automation I will show you in this blog post. In my blog I show you how to do this with the example of device manufacture for sure we already have this info in Intune but it is an example how this work. Of course you can also do this with anything else you can read out on a client.

Sync Azure AD Group with Kiosk Config Profile

If Azure AD user or group is selected as logon type (only specific users are allowed to logon on this devices), this policy must not only be assigned to a group, but also the allowed user must be defined in the profile. The option also allows to add AAD users and groups and the SIDs of these objects are also written to the local group but Windows cannot resolve the AAD groups (bug or feature?).
