I don't have on premises users and computers I have all my users and computers in Azure AD and I have created an Azure Virtual machine to manage my users through group policy, but when I applied a group policy its not working with users. I have also applied gpupdate /force command on relevant computer.
Use Azure Active Directory Domain Services to join Azure virtual machines to a domain, without having to deploy domain controllers. Use Group Policy to more securely administer domain-joined virtual machines—a familiar way to apply and enforce security baselines on all of your Azure virtual machines.
Kindly check this link and see if it helps. If you have any further queries kindly let me know.

We have a couple of VMs in Azure, and want to use one of them as an RDS session host for user workstations. This requires us to buy CALs and setup the appropriate RDS services.
No problem there, but it also requires the VM to be joined to an Active Directory domain, which we don't have.
Azure offers AD Domain Services, but at USD$100 per month, it seems pricey, for not much return.
Since Active Directory is a standard Windows service, is there anything stopping us from simply installing this role on one of our existing VMs and running our own domain controller?
If not, why would anyone be paying monthly for Azure AD DS?
Any advantages to either approach? We're a small enterprise, and will not be using AD for managing resources, only for identity management.
I have set up an Azure Active Directory Domain Service which is successfully synchronising with Azure Active Directory.
Creating a Virtual Machine and joining the domain works sucesffully. VM is in a separate VNET with peering. It is possible to login to the Virtual Machine with domain accounts.
However, in the 'Devices' blade in Azure Active Directory, the Virtual Machine is not shown.
Are there any obvious things to check?
Thanks
There are three ways to get a device identity in your Azure Active Directory:
Azure AD registration
Azure AD join Hybrid
Azure AD join
If you want the Devices to add automatically after they join the domain, you need to implement Azure AD join Hybrid
You can have a solution in this thread

Is there a way to restrict Azure Data Factory to be only accessible through Azure bastion host? To elaborate, I want anyone reaching the ADF URL to go through a Browser running in an azure bastion host?
As per the current Azure Security Baseline for data factory Documentation, it is suggested to Use privileged access workstations for Secured, isolated workstations are critical for the security of sensitive roles like administrators, developers, and critical service operators. Use highly secured user workstations and Azure Bastion for administrative tasks.
Use Azure AD, Microsoft Defender ATP, or Microsoft Intune to deploy a secure and managed user workstation for administrative tasks. You can centrally manage secured workstations to enforce a security configuration that includes:
Strong authentication
Software and hardware baselines
Restricted logical and network access
How do I restrict remote AAD (Work/School) connected personal machines with Group Policy enforced from the AADDS VM?
This client's company is fully remote and is looking for a cloud group policy solution.
Is there anyway to use AADDS to accomplish this task?
Thanks,
To manages machines/computers with group policy the machine should be joined with domain(on prem domain controller or azure adds) Once the machine is joined to domain you can apply group policies.
If you are looking to use azure ad ds managed instance . it gives the ability to join computers on a domain without any need to manage or deploy a Domain Controller. The users can sign-in by using their existing corporate credentials.
If you want to manage group policy with adds managed instance, you need to create an additional vm with sevrer OS and you need to install required server roles to preform additional operations.

Or else you can use Azure AD registered devices, The goal of Azure AD registered devices is to provide your users with support for the bring your own device (BYOD) or mobile device scenarios.

I have O365 and Azure Active Directory enabled. Domain is testcompany.com and user can login to O365 with firstname.lastname#testcompany.com
I know how to create virtual network and create virtual machine to it.
And I would like to Web App to support AD authentication.
However I don't know what I need to do to able to join VM to AD. Should I create Azure Domain Services next? I read several articles explaining different features but cannot see what are main steps to perform.
Should I create Azure Domain Services next?
Yes, we should enable Azure AD Domain Services.
Here are the steps:
1.Create the AAD DC Administrators group
2.Create or select a virtual network for Azure Domain services
3.Enable Azure AD domain services
4.Update DNS settings for the Azure Virtual network
5.Enable password synchronization to AAD Domain Services for a cloud-only Azure AD tenant.
After completing the tasks above, you can a VM to the domain by referring to the link.
