There are three versions of IoT. Windows 10 IoT Core does not support domain join. While IoT Core is the replacement for Win10 Embedded, I would certainly not call it "the rebranded version" of Embedded. But perhaps I don't understand what the Wikipedia author means by "rebranded".
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise does support domain join. It is Windows 10 Enterprise, for all intents and purposes. Windows 10 IoT Mobile is Windows 10 Mobile, without any of the extra bells and whistles. It supports device join and workplace join, but not domain join. So, Windows 10 IoT Core does not join domains - but it can be managed by InTune (and any of the various ODM compliant MDMs). However, it's not a desktop environment. It does UWP and PowerShell. And SSH. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2017 5:23 PM To: ntsysadm Subject: [NTSysADM] Win10 editions question So, I've looked at the wikipedia article, and it's not *exactly* answering the question I have... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions Our engineering department is developing systems that need to have tightly controlled updating, as they are often deployed in public safety environments - ranging from small (2-10 workstations) up to much larger (hundreds of workstations), and there is basically no tolerance for workstations patching and rebooting in anything but the most controlled fashion. Problem is, of course, that the smaller environments aren't going to have domains, and the larger ones are. Someone has proposed Windows 10 Embedded (which really seems to be Windows 10 IoT, but never mind that), but the engineers and PMs are thinking that Win10 IoT doesn't join domains. From the article above, and my other searching, I'm not able to come up with a clean, documented answer as to whether any edition of Win10 IoT can join domains, and if so, which ones. Can someone point me to clear documentation, preferably from MSFT? Kurt
