Information
This policy setting prevents users from adding new Microsoft accounts on this computer.
The recommended state for this setting is: Users can't add or log on with Microsoft accounts.
Rationale:
Organizations that want to effectively implement identity management policies and maintain firm control of what accounts are used to log onto their computers will probably want to block Microsoft accounts. Organizations may also need to block Microsoft accounts in order to meet the requirements of compliance standards that apply to their information systems.
Impact:
Users will not be able to log onto the computer with their Microsoft account.

To establish the recommended configuration, set the following Device Configuration Policy to Users can't add or log on with Microsoft accounts:
To access the Device Configuration Policy from the Intune Home page:
Click Devices

Continue through the Wizard to complete the creation of the profile (profile assignments, applicability etc.)
Note: More than one configuration setting from each of the Configuration profiles (ex: Administrative Templates, Custom etc.) can be added to each Device Configuration Policy.
Note #2 This recommendation can also be set using the Endpoint protection profile using Local device security options/Accounts settings.
