Simple definition
A hybrid Microsoft Entra joined device remains joined to on-premises Active Directory while registered with Entra ID.
Purpose and use
A hybrid Entra-joined device belongs to an on-premises Active Directory domain while also having an Entra device identity.
How does it work?
Join and synchronization depend on hybrid components and prerequisites, with state visible on the endpoint and in directories.
Example and verification
For duplicates or unexpected Conditional Access results, compare endpoint identifiers and state with objects in both directories.
Points to watch
An object visible in Entra alone does not prove complete, usable hybrid join for the relevant sign-in.
In short
Assessment requires connecting local state, the cloud object and signals received during authentication.
