This post is simply a step by step guide to help you set up the Intune Connector for Active Directory (to use its proper name) otherwise known as the AD hybrid join connector for Windows Autopilot. Whatever you’re calling it, it’s the connector that we need to install on one of our servers to act as the go-between to perform the domain join part of a hybrid join when we’re using Autopilot.

There will be two parts of the setup process:

1. Increase the Computer Account Limit in the Organization Unit (OU)

2. Install the Intune Connector for Active Directory

Increase the Computer Account Limit in the Organization Unit (OU)

2. Under "Welcome to the Delegation of Control Wizard", select Next.

3. Select "Add" as we need to grant the server with the permissions.

4. Select "Object Types" then select "Computers" then select OK.

5. Enter in the server name: and select Check Name then OK.

6. Select "Next" since that is the correct server name

7. Under Delegation of Control Wizard, select "Create a custom task to delegate"

8. Under Active Directory Object Type, select "Only the following objects in the folder", scroll down till you see "Computer Objects", tick on that as well as "Create selected objects in this folder" and "Delete selected objects in this folder". Then select Next.

9. Under Permissions, "General" will be ticked by default. Tick the following: "Property-specific" and "Creation/deletion of specific child objects." As well as tick "Full Control". Then select Next.
