I am trying to do Hybrid Azure Ad join of Windows 7 devices but while trying to enable Hybrid Azure Ad join in AD connect the check box for Supported Windows Downlevel domain-joined devices is disabled.Hybrid Azure AD join of Windows 10 devices are working fine.
Any suggestions why it is disabled.
In almost all cases if you can not enable an option it means it is not support.

Currently setup with a hybrid Azure AD. Most of our devices are still joined to the local AD servers, with a few newer devices having been onboarded via Azure AD instead of local AD.
I've been searching for a while now but there doesn't seem to be many good resources for the move away from hybrid, other then: Manually unjoin and rejoin every device.
Hoping that I am missing something here and there is a way to do this via a script or other means?
Any suggestions or links are greatly appreciated.
AFAIK, currently there is no way to automate migrating from hybrid Azure AD devices to Full cloud.
You cannot change a hybrid joined device to full cloud without first
removing from the domain and joining to Azure.
You can find the similar scenario in this Microsoft Q&A by Sander Berkouwer that confirms the above.
You have to manually unjoin and rejoin every device. Before removing the devices, make sure to check the state of them using dsregcmd /status.
If DomainJoined is 'YES', unjoin the devices by following the below steps:
Make sure to turn off automatic registration before removing hybrid Azure AD devices.
Run command prompt as an administrator and execute the below command as a script to unjoin several devices in bulk: dsregcmd.exe /debug /leave
Please check the below links that can give you some pointers.

I wanted to Join my Windows 10 device to Azure AD, but unfortunately I'm getting this below error, i tried to solve this issue by Disable/Enable Auto enrollment, Microsoft intune Settings etc. but still this issue is not solved. I'm using AD P1 Premium currently, Even i registered my device using P1 license 6 months ago, but now i can't able to register new devices.
Kindly disable the MDM settings in the Azure portal. After Turning off MDM and MAM check whether you were able to join the device to Azure AD.
Kindly let me know if you have any further queries.
Did you try this:
Login to https://portal.azure.com with your administrator
credentials.
Select Azure Active Directory on the left.
Go to Devices and then select Device Settings.
Set Users may join devices to Azure AD to All or Selected.
we would like to use Azure AD credentials to sign in Mac machines and we are aware of that could be achieved to use Azure AD credentials to sign in local machines via Azure AD join while it is currently only supported for Windows 10. Hence may I know is there a work around for us to achieve using Azure AD credentials to sign in Mac machines? And we figure out the possible solution that we could create ADDS service in our Azure Active directory, and join the Mac machine to Azure AD Domain Service then use our Azure AD credentials to sign in the Mac Machine. May I know is it possible for Mac machine to join Azure AD Domain Service? and is the whole process workable for us to achieve the requirement? Thanks a lot on any ideas on this issue!!!

You cannot join Azure AD with Mac OS X. If this is important to you , you can upvote this in this Feedback forum.

Service?
it's possible for Mac to join Azure AD Domain Service.
One Identity Authentication Services enables Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X systems to use the access, authentication, and authorization of an organization’s existing Active Directory (AD) infrastructure. Authentication Services now supports Azure Active Directory Domain Services enabling non-Windows resources to utilize the same next-generation platform that your existing SaaS solutions already use.
Also, there is a guide to integrate Mac OS X with AD.
Due to that I don't have Mac OS X in my test lab, so I didn't test.
Hope this helps!
I am trying to set up Windows Service bus 1.1 on my development machine(Windows7). I configured a farm on my local machine and enabled management of Management portal while configuring the farm
I am not able to see a management portal when I browse to https:// after entering my credentials I am just getting a XML description of my farm but not any UI .
I am not sure what am I missing and the documentation does not cover anything about setting up management portal.
Any help is much appreciated.
If you only installed Windows Service Bus 1.1, you are not going to be able to use the management portal. It is a Windows Azure feature.
It is possible to get a similar management experience similar to the cloud by using Service Bus integration by installing Windows Azure Pack but it is only available for Windows Server, so the only option for your management operations on Windows 7 are PowerShell commands.
Azure Active Directory is "as a service" offering from Azure. I have seen documentations and content from Microsoft stating that can be used for SSO and other Web application for unified auth.
Will it be possible to make use of Azure Active Directory as replacement of Windows Server AD in Azure virtual machines in Virtual Networks? I see that the Windows Server Active Directory Installation on Azure VM involves execution from powershell and stuff?
NO! Windows Azure Active Directory is NOT a Domain Controller. You can NOT join computers to Windows Azure AD. You can use it to sync on-premises AD with Windows Azure AD to easily enable Web SSO (Single Sign On). You can use to build enterprise grade web applications.
You can read more about Windows Azure Active Directory here.
Up until recently the answer was a flat no, but that has changed with Windows 10.
Windows 10 devices can join Azure Active Directory (AD) domains. But it is more about identify management than traditional Active Directory (AD) services. But you can use a combination of Azure AD and MDM (Mobile Device Management) to provide some of the services that used to be reserved for AD.
One thing to keep in mind is that Azure Active Directory (AD) is completely different than the similarly named Active Directory provided by a Windows Domain Controller. Azure AD is not a Domain Controller, but as of Windows 10 Azure AD, MDM and Intune can do some of the things that you previously could only be provided by AD. With Windows 10, Microsoft has greatly extended MDM and has made it possible to manage regular Windows 10 desktop and laptops with MDM.
The Active Directory Team Blog has more information. The post Azure Active Directory and Windows 10: Bringing the cloud to enterprise desktops! list some of the benefits that it brings including:
Self-provisioning of corporate owned devices.
Use existing organizational accounts.
Automatic MDM enrollment.
Single Sign-On to company resources in the cloud.
Single Sign-on on-premises
Enterprise-ready Windows store.
Support for modern form factors. Azure AD Join will work on devices that don't have the traditional domain join capabilities.
OS State Roaming.
This doesn't cover the traditional features provided by AD. Per the post Azure AD Join on Windows 10 devices Azure AD it targeted at the following three scenarios: Your apps and resources are largely in the cloud, Seasonal workers and Students, and Choose your own device for on-premises users. As you can see Azure AD is targeted more towards enabling BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). Azure AD enables management of devices, like tablets or non-Pro version of Windows, that don't have the capability to join a Domain.
From the same post:
Domain join gets you the best on-premises experiences on devices
capable of domain joining, while Azure AD join is optimized for users
that primarily access cloud resources. Azure AD Join is also great if
you want to manage devices from the cloud with a MDM instead of with
Group Policy and SCCM.
Azure now offers traditional Active Directory service called Azure Active Directory Domain Services. This offers domain join, NTLM and Kerboeros authentication. You can even manage machines using Group Policy.
This is possible using Azure Active Directory Domain Service (notice the difference from regular Azure Active Directory which does not have domain support)
