Migrating systems to Entra only join will reinforce security
Relying on hybrid join also means allowing more complexity in your infrastructure. You need to keep track of domains, domain controllers, domain name servers, DHCP servers, and various technologies from firewalls to virtual private networks, all to ensure that your traditional domain merely functions. In addition, you’ll need to ensure that these assets are maintained, patched, and under active support.
This may also mean time and energy spent updating and maintaining server operating systems — layer on the need to migrate from Windows 10 and move to Windows 11 and you may need to do a lot of reassessment around how you apply technology resources in your firm.
Going forward with an Entra-only join ultimately will provide a simplified enrollment that can be deployed with merely an internet connection. This is especially convenient when you have a dispersed workforce — all you need to deploy a workstation is an internet connection and an Autopilot set up to connect to Entra ID.
