How can I log in as an administrator to a PC kitted with AutoPilot?

The administrator is the EntraID.

I set the administrator ID below, but I am having trouble logging in to the PC with the administrator ID...

What am I doing wrong?


Entra admin Center > Devices > Overview > Device settings > Local administrator settings >

Manage Additional local administrators on all Microsoft Entra joined devices

    @ChikaraTaro Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    For this issue, it seems more related to Microsoft Entra ID, so I will add "Microsoft Entra ID " tag. Based on my search, I find the official article describes that

    Updating the Microsoft Entra Joined Device Local Administrator role doesn't necessarily have an immediate impact on the affected users. On devices where a user is already signed in to, the privilege elevation takes place when both the below actions happen:

    • Up to 4 hours passed for Microsoft Entra ID to issue a new Primary Refresh Token with the appropriate privileges.
    • User signs out and signs back in, not lock/unlock, to refresh their profile.

    For more details, please read the following article:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/devices/assign-local-admin#manage-the-microsoft-entra-joined-device-local-administrator-role

    Hope it will give you some ideas.
