I am in a similar situation and just working through it. They have made some 
changes in sign in and lock security.

For example, disabling the lock screen password request seems to only be 
partially available through GPOs, the same "Some settings are managed by your 
organization" gets an additional "Authentication is not required when this PC 
wakes from sleep. Sign in as an administrator to change this setting." Which of 
course works but is hardly scalable. Other pressing issues are on the plate so 
I have not finished this, but it looks like a combination of GPO policy and GPO 
reg entries are required for that one.

I have found a few articles indicating changes such as 
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/ash/2016/08/13/changes-to-convenience-pin-and-thus-windows-hello-behaviour-in-windows-10-version-1607/
 where the policies now depend on additional criteria...

Subject: [NTSysADM] Biometrics on Windows 10 1607

Fresh install of Windows 10 build 14393. Domain-joined. Windows Hello, PIN and 
Fingerprint are all greyed out

Default Domain Policy includes all 3 Biometrics lines:
                Allow domain users to log on using biometrics: Enabled
Allow the use of biometrics: Enabled
Allow users to log on using biometrics: Enabled
With no WMI Filtering
I ran gpedit.msc locally on his laptop, and it shows the same 3 lines 
configured as enabled.
After googling, I added this registry entry:
                
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics\Credential Provider]
"Domain Accounts"=dword:00000001

On my laptop, the fingerprint works fine, but on the COO's, Windows Hello is 
greyed out and at the top it says: some settings are managed by your 
organization. But as I said, my organization allows it and it works for me and 
several other Win 10 laptops.
COO will not accept his new laptop without a fingerprint. I tried logging in 
with a different domain user on that laptop and it is grey there too. However, 
a non-domain, local account has access to Hello/Pin/Finger

Any ideas?

Kish
