Microsoft, similar to Google and Apple, offers various cloud services that can all be reached through one single account, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_account for details. A Microsoft account to Windows is what an Apple ID is to iOS (or at least that's where Microsoft is headed). JP wants to achieve single sign-on for these services by linking his Microsoft account to his AD user account. If it's possible, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure it's not a Samba matter. Viktor
Viktor is correct. That is what I am trying to accomplish. The reason why I suspect it's a samba issue is because on the workstation I use at my company I am able to successfully link my Microsoft account to the domain profile. The company uses a Windows Server 2008 for Active Directory. So it would stand to reason the only difference here is the type of server being used. Thank you for the link to the profile migration tool however. That did help with a different problem. I tried migrating my existing local profile which did have my MS account linked. The profile is now migrated but i've lost the link to the MS account. When I go to add it back I get the same behavior as before. It just doesn't work. If I open the Store app and try to sign-in with the MS account I get the error message "We encountered an error. Please try signing in again later."

In a related problem. I've tried linking my Office365 account. I get through the sign-in process but when it is attempting to link the device I can an error message stating: *We weren't able to register your device and add your account to Windows. Your access to org resources may be limited.* The domain account I am logged in with is part of the Domain Admins group so I don't think this should be a problem.
