I'm trying to set up my pc's main identity as my work logon and password. I'm in settings. I go to add work or school account, then put in my work logon and password. This is what it comes back as
error: invalid_client
error subcode:
Description: failed%20to%20authenicate%20user

Previously I was getting an error message about wame errors.

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues related to Enrollment.

    Intune enrollment becomes required during Azure Active Directory Join if a user is set up to automatically enroll into Microsoft Intune when a device is joined to AAD. In the event that MDM registration fails, the device won't be added to Azure AD.

    Please verify that MDM scopes are set up.

    To check the settings, go to Endpoint Manager admin centre > Devices > Windows > Automatic Enrollment.

    Ensure user has a license assigned that enables Intune access, this is included in the following licenses:
    Enterprise Mobility + Security E3
    Enterprise Mobility + Security E5
    Intune
    Ensure that the Intune service is turned on in the license
