Difference between Azure AD registered vs Azure AD joined vs Hybrid Azure AD joined devices


Azure AD Registered:

It is mainly used for personal devices.
To allow cloud based applications to be accessed through your personal devices such as Laptop, Mobile phones, tabs etc. Users still using personal ID’s.
Device is just registered. Organization is not controlling your device (until unless you are not explicitly allowing personal devices to enroll)
It provides SSO access for O365 and other apps without asking you to enter password every time.
Your personal data is secured, organizations won’t be able to see your personal files, can’t wipe / delete it.
They still have control on work profile.


Azure AD Joined:

It is used for corporate devices
To sign into Azure AD account.
Users are logging on with Azure AD credentials only.
More control as compared to Azure AD registered devices.


Hybrid Azure AD joined:
Hybrid Azure AD= Domain Join + Azure AD Join
Organizations who are not fully ready for getting rid of on-premises infrastructure.
Azure AD Connect is required
Azure AD Connect is required to sync the objects such as users,groups,devices
You have benefit of having on-premises infra (Group policies, SCCM, WSUS etc) and joining to Azure AD.
HAAD joined devices require line of sight to on-premises domain controllers periodically.
