    Looks better than my solution which was to join the machine to a domain then add a local account after. I always add a local account of my machines then add them to a domain. Simple fact is they want to trap people in their walled garden and it isn’t going that well for them.

      I’m sure it’s going really well because the vast majority probably just give in.

      You can’t join a domain with home, and win 11pro has You create a local account first before joining domain.
