    To enable Azure Active Directory for an existing virtual machine, you must first enable the System Managed Identity on the VM.

    enter image description here

    After enabling the identity, install the AADLoginForWindows extension. If the extension is already installed, uninstall it first.

    Make sure to check the extension's status after installation.

    The VM has been successfully joined to Azure AD. You can verify the result in the portal by navigating to Entra AD > Devices.

    You can also check the Azure AD join status on the VM by running the dsregcmd /status
