For Azure AD customers, Microsoft hasreleased Enterprise State Roaming for businesscustomers using Windows 10. In an email that is sent regularly to Azure customers to let them know of pricing and feature changes, the company announced the release of this setting synchronisation service for enterprise customers.

This new feature allows businesses to synchronise their employee’s work account settings across devices; just how it works with standard Microsoft Accounts today, where you sign-in on one device, and your settings propagate to all of your others. This change is likely to increase productivity, as there will be less twiddling around with setting panes, and more work being completed.

Settings will be stored in the cloud against the employee’s work account, and downloaded to any devices that they sign-in too. These accounts are directly connected to Azure Active Directory.

As part of this feature release, Microsoft has stated three differences between a personal Microsoft account being synchronised and a work account being synchronised, with work accounts receiving the following as additional benefits:

Certain features of synchronisation are only available depending on account type and device type, and youcan see which ones here. Azure customers with Azure AD Premium can begin using Enterprise State Roaming immediately, available now for all customers, although, it is not currently available in all server regions.

Windows Server SKUs do not currently support this feature as yet.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
