01/09/2024

This article covers how to use the output from the dsregcmd command to understand the state of devices in Microsoft Entra ID. The dsregcmd /status utility must be run as a domain user account.

Device state

This section lists the device join state parameters. The criteria that are required for the device to be in various join states are listed in the following table:

AzureAdJoined	EnterpriseJoined	DomainJoined	Device state
YES	NO	NO	Microsoft Entra joined
NO	NO	YES	Domain Joined
YES	NO	YES	Microsoft Entra hybrid joined
NO	YES	YES	On-premises DRS Joined

Note

The Workplace Joined (Microsoft Entra registered) state is displayed in the "User state" section.

AzureAdJoined: Set the state to YES if the device is joined to Microsoft Entra ID. Otherwise, set the state to NO.
EnterpriseJoined: Set the state to YES if the device is joined to an on-premises data replication service (DRS). A device can't be both EnterpriseJoined and AzureAdJoined.
DomainJoined: Set the state to YES if the device is joined to a domain (Active Directory).
DomainName: Set the state to the name of the domain if the device is joined to a domain.

Sample device state output

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Device State                                                         |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
             AzureAdJoined : YES
          EnterpriseJoined : NO
              DomainJoined : YES
                DomainName : HYBRIDADFS
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Device details

The state is displayed only when the device is Microsoft Entra joined or Microsoft Entra hybrid joined (not Microsoft Entra registered). This section lists device-identifying details that are stored in Microsoft Entra ID.

DeviceId: The unique ID of the device in the Microsoft Entra tenant.
Thumbprint: The thumbprint of the device certificate.
DeviceCertificateValidity: The validity status of the device certificate.
KeyContainerId: The containerId of the device private key associated with the device certificate.
KeyProvider: The KeyProvider (Hardware/Software) used to store the device private key.
TpmProtected: The state is set to YES if the device private key is stored in a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
DeviceAuthStatus: Performs a check to determine the device's health in Microsoft Entra ID. The health statuses are:
- SUCCESS if the device is present and enabled in Microsoft Entra ID.
- FAILED. Device is either disabled or deleted if the device is either disabled or deleted. For more information about this issue, see Microsoft Entra device management FAQ.
- FAILED. ERROR if the test was unable to run. This test requires network connectivity to Microsoft Entra ID under the system context.
Note

The DeviceAuthStatus field was added in the Windows 10 May 2021 update (version 21H1).
Virtual Desktop: There are three cases where this appears.
- NOT SET - VDI device metadata isn't present on the device.
- YES - VDI device metadata is present and dsregcmd outputs associated metadata including:
  - Provider: Name of the VDI vendor.
  - Type: Persistent VDI or non-persistent VDI.
  - User mode: Single user or multi-user.
  - Extensions: Number of key value pairs in optional vendor specific metadata, followed by key value pairs.
- INVALID - The VDI device metadata is present but not set correctly. In this case, dsregcmd outputs the incorrect metadata.

              TpmProtected : NO
          DeviceAuthStatus : SUCCESS
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Tenant details

The tenant details are displayed only when the device is Microsoft Entra joined or Microsoft Entra hybrid joined, not Microsoft Entra registered. This section lists the common tenant details that are displayed when a device is joined to Microsoft Entra ID.

Note

If the mobile device management (MDM) URL fields in this section are empty, it indicates either that the MDM was not configured or that the current user isn't in scope of MDM enrollment. Check the Mobility settings in Microsoft Entra ID to review your MDM configuration.

Even if you see MDM URLs, this does not mean that the device is managed by an MDM. The information is displayed if the tenant has MDM configuration for auto-enrollment even if the device itself isn't managed.

SSO state

You can ignore this section for Microsoft Entra registered devices.

Note

The command must run in a user context to retrieve that user's valid status.

AzureAdPrt: Set the state to YES if a Primary Refresh Token (PRT) is present on the device for the logged-in user.
AzureAdPrtUpdateTime: Set the state to the time, in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), when the PRT was last updated.
AzureAdPrtExpiryTime: Set the state to the time, in UTC, when the PRT is going to expire if it isn't renewed.
AzureAdPrtAuthority: The Microsoft Entra authority URL
EnterprisePrt: Set the state to YES if the device has a PRT from on-premises Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). For Microsoft Entra hybrid joined devices, the device could have a PRT from both Microsoft Entra ID and on-premises Active Directory simultaneously. On-premises joined devices have only an Enterprise PRT.
EnterprisePrtUpdateTime: Set the state to the time, in UTC, when the Enterprise PRT was last updated.
EnterprisePrtExpiryTime: Set the state to the time, in UTC, when the PRT is going to expire if it isn't renewed.
EnterprisePrtAuthority: The AD FS authority URL

Note

The following PRT diagnostics fields were added in the Windows 10 May 2021 update (version 21H1).

The diagnostics information that's displayed in the AzureAdPrt field is for Microsoft Entra PRT acquisition or refresh, and the diagnostics information that's displayed in the EnterprisePrt field is for Enterprise PRT acquisition or refresh.
The diagnostics information is displayed only if the acquisition or refresh failure happened after the last successful PRT update time (AzureAdPrtUpdateTime/EnterprisePrtUpdateTime).
On a shared device, this diagnostics information could be from a different user's login attempt.

AcquirePrtDiagnostics: Set the state to PRESENT if the acquired PRT diagnostics information is present in the logs.
- This field is skipped if no diagnostics information is available.
Previous Prt Attempt: The local time, in UTC, at which the failed PRT attempt occurred.
Attempt Status: The client error code that's returned (HRESULT).
User Identity: The UPN of the user for whom the PRT attempt happened.
Credential Type: The credential used to acquire or refresh the PRT. Common credential types are Password and Next Generation Credential (NGC) (for Windows Hello).
Correlation ID: The correlation ID sent by the server for the failed PRT attempt.
Endpoint URI: The last endpoint accessed before the failure.
HTTP Method: The HTTP method used to access the endpoint.
HTTP Error: WinHttp transport error code. Get other network error codes.
HTTP Status: The HTTP status returned by the endpoint.
Server Error Code: The error code from the server.
Server Error Description: The error message from the server.
RefreshPrtDiagnostics: Set the state to PRESENT if the acquired PRT diagnostics information is present in the logs.
- This field is skipped if no diagnostics information is available.
- The diagnostics information fields are same as AcquirePrtDiagnostics.

Note

The following Cloud Kerberos diagnostics fields were added in the original release of Windows 11 (version 21H2).

OnPremTgt: Set the state to YES if a Cloud Kerberos ticket to access on-premises resources is present on the device for the logged-in user.
CloudTgt: Set the state to YES if a Cloud Kerberos ticket to access cloud resources is present on the device for the logged-in user.
KerbTopLevelNames: List of top level Kerberos realm names for Cloud Kerberos.

Diagnostics data

Pre-join diagnostics

This diagnostics section is displayed only if the device is domain-joined and unable to Microsoft Entra hybrid join.

This section performs various tests to help diagnose join failures. The information includes the: error phase, error code, server request ID, server response HTTP status, and server response error message.

User Context: The context in which the diagnostics are run. Possible values: SYSTEM, UN-ELEVATED User, ELEVATED User.

Note

Because the actual join is performed in SYSTEM context, running the diagnostics in SYSTEM context is closest to the actual join scenario. To run diagnostics in SYSTEM context, the dsregcmd /status command must be run from an elevated command prompt.
Client Time: The system time, in UTC.
AD Connectivity Test: This test performs a connectivity test to the domain controller. An error in this test likely results in join errors in the pre-check phase.
AD Configuration Test: This test reads and verifies whether the Service Connection Point (SCP) object is configured properly in the on-premises Active Directory forest. Errors in this test would likely result in join errors in the discover phase with the error code 0x801c001d.
DRS Discovery Test: This test gets the DRS endpoints from discovery metadata endpoint and performs a user realm request. Errors in this test would likely result in join errors in the discover phase.
DRS Connectivity Test: This test performs a basic connectivity test to the DRS endpoint.
Token Acquisition Test: This test tries to get a Microsoft Entra authentication token if the user tenant is federated. Errors in this test would likely result in join errors in the authentication phase. If authentication fails, sync-join is attempted as fallback, unless fallback is explicitly disabled with the following registry key settings:
```
Keyname: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CDJ
Value: FallbackToSyncJoin
Type:  REG_DWORD
Value: 0x0 -> Disabled
Value: 0x1 -> Enabled
Default (No Key): Enabled
```
Fallback to Sync-Join: Set the state to Enabled if the preceding registry key to prevent fallback to sync-join with authentication failures is not present. This option is available from Windows 10 1803 and later.
Previous Registration: The time when the previous join attempt occurred. Only failed join attempts are logged.
Error Phase: The stage of the join in which it was aborted. Possible values are pre-check, discover, auth, and join.
Client ErrorCode: The client error code returned (HRESULT).
Server ErrorCode: The server error code displayed if a request was sent to the server and the server responded with an error code.
Server Message: The server message returned along with the error code.
Https Status: The HTTP status returned by the server.
Request ID: The client requestId sent to the server. The request ID is useful to correlate with server-side logs.

Sample pre-join diagnostics output

The following example shows a diagnostics test failing with a discovery error.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

     AD Configuration Test : PASS
        DRS Discovery Test : FAIL [0x801c0021/0x801c000c]
     DRS Connectivity Test : SKIPPED
    Token acquisition Test : SKIPPED
     Fallback to Sync-Join : ENABLED

               Error Phase : discover
          Client ErrorCode : 0x801c0021

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

The following example shows that diagnostics tests are passing but the registration attempt failed with a directory error, which is expected for sync-join. After the Microsoft Entra Connect synchronization job finishes, the device is able to join.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Post-join diagnostics

This diagnostics section displays the output of sanity checks performed on a device joined to the cloud.

AadRecoveryEnabled: If the value is YES, the keys stored in the device aren't usable, and the device is marked for recovery. The next sign-in will trigger the recovery flow and re-register the device.
KeySignTest: If the value is PASSED, the device keys are in good health. If KeySignTest fails, the device is usually marked for recovery. The next sign-in will trigger the recovery flow and re-register the device. For Microsoft Entra hybrid joined devices, the recovery is silent. While the devices are Microsoft Entra joined or Microsoft Entra registered, they prompt for user authentication to recover and re-register the device, if necessary.

Note

The KeySignTest requires elevated privileges.

NGC prerequisites check

This diagnostics section performs the prerequisites check for setting up Windows Hello for Business (WHFB).

Note

You might not see NGC prerequisites check details in dsregcmd /status if the user has already configured WHFB successfully.

IsDeviceJoined: Set the state to YES if the device is joined to Microsoft Entra ID.
IsUserAzureAD: Set the state to YES if the logged-in user is present in Microsoft Entra ID.
PolicyEnabled: Set the state to YES if the WHFB policy is enabled on the device.
PostLogonEnabled: Set the state to YES if WHFB enrollment is triggered natively by the platform. If the state is set to NO, it indicates that Windows Hello for Business enrollment is triggered by a custom mechanism.
DeviceEligible: Set the state to YES if the device meets the hardware requirement for enrolling with WHFB.
SessionIsNotRemote: Set the state to YES if the current user is logged in directly to the device and not remotely.
CertEnrollment: This setting is specific to WHFB Certificate Trust deployment, indicating the certificate enrollment authority for WHFB. Set the state to enrollment authority if the source of the WHFB policy is Group Policy, or set it to mobile device management if the source is MDM. If neither source applies, set the state to none.
AdfsRefreshToken: This setting is specific to WHFB Certificate Trust deployment and present only if the CertEnrollment state is enrollment authority. The setting indicates whether the device has an enterprise PRT for the user.
AdfsRaIsReady: This setting is specific to WHFB Certificate Trust deployment and present only if the CertEnrollment state is enrollment authority. Set the state to YES if AD FS indicates in discovery metadata that it supports WHFB and the logon certificate template is available.
LogonCertTemplateReady: This setting is specific to WHFB Certificate Trust deployment and present only if the CertEnrollment state is enrollment authority. Set the state to YES if the state of the login certificate template is valid and helps troubleshoot the AD FS Registration Authority (RA).
PreReqResult: Provides the result of all WHFB prerequisites evaluation. Set the state to Will Provision if WHFB enrollment would be launched as a post-login task when the user signs in next time.

Note

The following Cloud Kerberos diagnostics fields were added in the Windows 10 May 2021 update (version 21H1).

Prior to Windows 11 version 23H2, the setting OnPremTGT was named CloudTGT.

OnPremTGT: This setting is specific to Cloud Kerberos trust deployment and present only if the CertEnrollment state is none. Set the state to YES if the device has a Cloud Kerberos ticket to access on-premises resources. Prior to Windows 11 version 23H2, this setting was named CloudTGT.
