So, as I wrote about last month, in Windows 10 we the ability to connect a Windows 10 device to Azure AD and authenticate our users that way. At that time there was no way to disconnect the device again though.. Well good news just rolled in today, with the release of Windows 10 build 10041 we now have the option to disconnect our devices again!

The process is quite simple: Fire up Settings and go to the About tab where we also joined the device. You’ll see the option Leave the organization – click that:

Next up is a warning about us not being able to sign in with organization accounts, click Disconnect: disconnectaad2

Then we have to supply a username and password, for an account who is local administrator. A Microsoft account works well here.

And, in true Microsoft style, a reboot to finish everything 🙂

I’ve had some issues reconnecting the same devices again though. Might be a feature for next build 🙂
