How can I configure the AD FS federation service so that avatars of users synchronized with Azure AD Connect are displayed and Windows applications are automatically logged in?

Question

Good day! Given:

A server running Windows Server 2022 Datacenter, domain: chuc218.ru

Is it necessary to: configure the AD Federation Service (AD FS) so that avatars of users synchronized with Azure AD Connect are displayed on client PCs running Windows 10 and there is an automatic login to Windows applications, for example, Microsoft Edge? Because it's critically important to me.

How to do it? I've already tried all the options, nothing helps.

Hello @Кирилл Евгеньевич,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

Based on your description, I see that you are using Windows Server 2022 Datacenter with the domain chuc218.ru and are looking for an SSO experience where users can log into applications without needing to enter their username and password. To achieve this, you do not need to set up an ADFS environment. You can enable SSO on Windows 10 devices by enrolling them with Microsoft Entra. Since you already have Microsoft Entra Connect and are syncing users from on-premises to the cloud, you can enroll the devices as either Microsoft Entra Joined or Microsoft Entra Hybrid Joined.

If your Windows 10 devices are domain-joined, you can follow the Microsoft documentation to configure Microsoft Entra Hybrid Join:

Configure Microsoft Entra hybrid join

If the devices are not domain-joined, you can easily make them Microsoft Entra Joined by following the guide below:

Thanks! Thanks! But all the same, I want to configure AD FS so that when my users log into their Microsoft 365 personal account, they display CHUC Corporation (what I have configured for federations)
